What did you do to the GD Fit today?
LOOKS SICK MAN!!! Btw, what color filter did u use for the camera, obviously a bubble effect but i like the color saturation too...i ask cuz i need decent pics of my fit...>_<
Thanks Subie!
for sure man. the grip is mind blowing.
et+36 my rears are the same also. Thanks for the lovin
haha thanks Derek! Believe it or not, I took these pics (all of my pics for that matter) with my GoPro HD. Its only a 5mp camera but with enough CS4.. LOL the filter is HDR of course. I try not to go too over board with it. the camera is a natural fish eye camera because its a wide angle lense. I like it. pics jump out like BA BAAAM! haha
Maybe we can go on a photo shoot this weekend. Ill snap some shots for you.

Anything replia I would just do eBay. Anything authentic I would look at reputable sites like jdmland or password. You could always try getting stuff straight from Japan via yahoo Japan (use japanmart to search/buy) but it is much harder to tell what's real and what's not plus after shipping and everything it can get crazy. Or just get ben used from someone on here. That's where I get the best deals.
Had to get new rubber on all four wheels. The oem ones were finally down to the wire after a 400 mile road trip. Got 52900 mi out of those original tires. Lowered the car at 51000 and then they wore out much quicker.
I got Yokohama yk25 I think. I wanted bf Goodrich g-sports but no one had them in stock so they gave me the better yoks for just a few bucks more. Next Wednesday gonna go somewhere and have a camber kit and alignment done. Any recommendations

I agree with the above statement. as long as u havent lowered ur car to the point the roll center has changed, you should just need a front camber kit. but alignment is a good idea anytime you lower ur car to avoid tire wear issues

Yeah I know there're rusty and my disc brakes too.
I'm kinda of a newbie in painting, do you know how to paint them black and how much it would cost me to get the job done?
Thanks!

remove the drums and paint them with black caliper paint. let dry then re install. dont paint the inside. just the outside. the drums might be hard to get off due to rust. u may have to install some bolts that fit in the holes on the outside of the drum. u screw them in and the drum will come out. be sure to do it little by little on both sides otherwise the drum will get crooked and hard to get off. the job would probably take like 10 min plus time for it to dry. good luck if u decide to do it ur self.

Just cut a hole in a trash bag and place around drum. Use painters tape to tape off around areas not wanting to paint. Use wax and tar remover to clean them before painting. Use high heat spray paint to be safe. Several light coats and one final medium-wet coat. Let dry and enjoy.

Is that the Dark silver? Hmm black or white. Not sure if they make white but then should be able to get high temp in spray can.
Not if want a little more ricey you could do them say red. I think white behind the stock wheel would give a nice subtle change. JMO
