If you can find a seller that carries stuff by Work, you could get their RS lugnuts. Those are available in anodized red or anodized blue.

A caveat though: Anodized red fades. At first they will turn somewhat purple, and as they fade further they basically end up being pink.

I can testify to that, lol. I got so many questions about where I got my pink lugs

the fronts mainly fade because of the heat from the brakes

Yeah, even anodized metal tire valve caps are no exception. If anything they faded much faster than the lugs, regardless of where they are on the car. I got mine just a few months ago and some of them are now basically silver now, with barely a hint of red or pink left.

Which leads me to my on-topic post:
Pumped air into my tires after a traffic-laden crawl home. 35 psi front, 32 psi rear.

S-Tech and SSRI

Threw on the Tein Stechs last night only took 2 hrs by myself, very straight forward install. Was kind of expecting it to be a pain in the arse but pretty simple. Also threw on the SSRI, thanks to all who posted those tech DIYs. Once I figure out the pic posting thing I'll post em up.

It's tHe real thing. You can't really tell the difference except for the real one comes with a mesh grill. Not putting that one on but you can find people talking about the replica one on the forum. You just have to search for it. I got this one for a fairly decent price from speed alliance in sd.

Thanks for the heads up on the rays lug nuts. Now all I need is for these tires to come in and the cr93 will be on the car. Sucks that I have to wait till early to mid oct for my wheel spacers to come in.

Performed an idle learn on the Fit (again!) without success this time. I think its time for the intake manifold to come off and be rebuilt as it has been suffering the wandering idle syndrome with increasing frequency lately. It is going to suck driving around for a week or so with the stock mani!
