The Eibachs look to be either black or a dark gray. Didn't look too hard after googling though.

Good catch, I totally forgot about Skunk2's springs and haven't heard of Swift.

Swift Machs are about the only after market springs that don't ruin your struts and shocks.... Not a big drop bet slightly lower, lots of travel without bottoming out, comfortable ride and great handling on back roads..... There have been a few Texas Fit Freaks that have gotten them or plan to.

With the spacers it makes the offset in the rear +27. Its only just hitting the inside lip so I just have to have it rolled and I will be golden again.

Chewy: The Slim Visors are awesome; I think they help a lot keeping the wind out of your face when driving with the windows down, complement the GD's roofline well and don't look as goofy as the Mugen styles.

Previc93:The A-pillar looks pretty good and the T1R pod set-up looks almost OEM. What gauges are you running (oil temp, water, etc.) and are you boosted?

Yesterday evening a former Fit owner and I took a spirited drive on a backroad I found on a motorcycle routes site. It was a fun little 8 mile stretch of road with a few sweepers and a couple of nicely banked turns. The Fit handled it quite well, the paddles came quite in handy; the guy with me, in a Teggy Type R, is quite a good driver and kept up with me despite taking a less aggressive driving line. The ITR had one wicked exhaust note when VTEC crossed over; there was like a metallic "ping", the VTEC engaged, and then it really scooted along.

Yesterday, I took my time washing and detailing the Fit inside, outside, and underneath.

Today, I drove leisurely to school to get some info for some upcoming fall classes. A few hours later, I get my GPS out of the Fit and after I close the garage door I hear a loud thunk. I go back in to find that a garden hoe fallen off of its wall hanger. As I reach down, I was surprised by a few scratches on the pass. fog cover and small chunks of paint missing from the front bumper. Needless to say, I hurled that hoe outside and walked in the house P.O.'ed.
