two friends came over today and helped me get the brakes finished. Car is back on the road and I could not be happier to be able to drive it again.

Red face Don't Hate....please

Thanks to SickFit's DIY I now have independent fog lights


And thanks to my buddy with a 2009 Mazda 6 for doing tail light tinting with me and before the hate comments arise....my JDM tails were cracked, so I tinted them in hopes of making the cracks less visible. Overall, me gusta

Don't worry, you can still see through


I hope to get some white rims soon...being broke sucks

Your pictures make me wish I had gotten a black Fit... I was about to head to a dealership to buy a black one but before I was out the door the phone rang and I was told another salesman that wasn't aware that I had a deposit on the car had sold it.... It probably would've been miserably hot in the Summer.

Just bought my 08 Sport M/T about a month ago and am in love with it. Not as great with cars as many of you who have already posted in this thread, but I just bought some touch-up paint (it's the blaze orange model) and a cargo liner. I just installed all-season floor mats last week. It's starting to look pretty good! What a great freaking car!

*Cellphone photo alert!* (I'll take real shots soon... this is all I have)

But I just had to... managed to swing this wheel and tire set about a month ago, finally took them out for a rowdy Alberta mountain tour today. Man, there's just something about 55km/h rated curves being abused with ease at more than twice that speed... in the rain...

Now I just need to fix the front rubbing under hard turns...

Last weeks news but still relevant. Put Hawk ceramic pads and EBC USR850 rotors on the GD last Saturday. Here is a shot of them today.

As the old saying goes for cars: "Once you go black, you'll have a part time job."

Bought some transmission bushings and some H-Fit hard mount shifter bushings.

Going to install them before I install my JDM center console. I hope the H-Fit shifter bushings fit the Mugen shift box...
