That guy has huge parties and serves wild pigs that the guy that lives between us traps and feeds grain and veggies before killing and butchering...He also does a cooking show up in Washington DC.. He flies up there and does a mess of videos and flies back... Did you know that Nitric Oxide is good for erectile dysfunction??

I just replaced mine. I have had one since new and it does cut down the bugs some. Best part was the big stone it caught. It would have done severe damage to the hood.

Hmm a strip of LEDS between our painted diffuser and white part of bumper would work.

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
i know im a lil late on this but if were talking about painting calipers...red is NOT ricey...i repeat...NOT ricey. Think about high end sports cars, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Nissan GT-R, all super car status and all with red calipers. Red is just a typical performance brake color...i would do it...but as mentioned...without the brembo sticker >_<

The first calipers and drums I painted were on an Austin Healey... I think It was VHT wrinkle finish grey or silver I used. I would go with black paint on my Fit....@ Wild Bill. I don't even worry about that kind of stuff anymore.

The Fit went to another car show and we added number 18 to the shelf



Great thing was that I meet a guy who has a Fit and could not believe all the modifications I had made to mine. I told him about the forum so I hope he will join up!

About high-temp resistant spray paint for calipers and drums, a friend of mine told me that they don't last long...how long did it last for you guys? 2 years? 3?

I live in Québec where winter last 5 months and roads are full of calcium...

Looks very nice. I like it all, but the HIDs. If you blind the SUVs imagine what you are going to do to us small cars. PIAA bulbs would have gave you same color with great lighting, but without the blinding.
