Switched out my golden yellow fog light vinal to a lamin_x tint. The first set of golden yellow was great, but burnt out in bout six months. Only because they are always on. So, I replaced them from same guy, but this time they came as a different color? Not golden, actually more of a green. So replaced with lamin-x. Much better now. Thicker film also.
Should be able to post new pics of garnish on car tonight when I get home.

 

nvm my plains chaged today now its to get the car running again

 

here's my new battery!

 

Had some time at home this weekend to snap a couple shots. Wifey got called in for an emergency surgery, so I got time with Fit.
As requested first two shots are of my painted garnish on car.

 

looks awesome my man! i just ordered some of the same black trim spray paint to do mine...

CF garnish is pricey (seibon) and kelso doesn't sell the cheaper one anymores

 

^^^ It looks great installed. Sand original with 400 grit, clean with wax and tar remover from auto zone, do several light coats of primer sealer, sand again with 400 grit, clean again with wax and tar remover, paint black several light coats and final coat semi wet. Done.
As you know im not a fan of carbon. I think its played out. Got the idea of paint from the GE fits. On GE this is stock, and the only part I like about them. So i decided to paint mine.
Good luck to you, and take your time for amazing results.

 

Your Fit's Nice BTS, I didn't relize @ 1st those are sport rims. Trim from Vinny looks Good Too!

Are you by 664? it looks like the old (WWII) ammunitions dock by TCC

 

key,windows visors, front and rear emblems, door panels and NOT a car wash HAHA

 

What paint did you use on your Intake cover? I've been looking everywhere for VHT wrinkle plus in red but no one carries it i might just have to order it online.

 

i used that website you linked me to get sand paper + tacky rag + solution to make sure everything comes out good

i'm going to re-do my lip orange to match the car too, but that'll take a long while to get done

 

^^ lookin forward to see that done!

 

kelso gave me the contact for the same CF garnish you have... so depending on the price i may go to CF or black like Bthasht

 

These are some great looking GD's guys! I really like the Red on Black interior work!


Any chance you are going to swap out the grey portions of the seats for red?

Bthasht, looks sick!

Normally would never have occurred to me to work over something like the hatch trim, but you guys are doing a nice job!


And the white sport wheels really look sharp with that bold red!

 

I drove 500 miles to the southwest of Louisiana and back...BtrThnezr3 is to blame for it... Her cool as hell daddy had to get rid of his Border Collie- Blue Healer mix and I have him in my living room in a crate.... I've handled Great Danes and Saint Bernards that I thought were strong but this guy is right up there with them but hyper and quick.... He likes riding in the Fit.

 

TC Glad to hear you have a new co-pilot. Hope he gives you as much joy as your last. I know that was a tough time for you. But here's to the future (raise glass... of milk)

 

Thanx for all the comments.
Big mike yes that is the old dock. Tcc campus off college drive. Had to off road to get the shot with the tree, but was worth it.
Ryan engine cover is not wrinkle like jdm. It is milano red with a gold dust then cleared thick. I did no sanding to keep stock look. Paint comes from same website as before.
Kenmei good luck to you on painting lip will look incredible.

My fit is my anti drug.

 

Nothing beats a new side-kick, glad to hear. Hyper and quick makes 'em great in the agility comps. I know a lady who has three in a small single bedroom apt in a small up-state city. It's both hands on the coffee cup and face to the wall and forget about doughnuts. I will say she's quite capable of control, however. Those pups beg to behave for her and her alone. Looking at Pat you would never assume she had it in her - come to think of it looking at the dogs you'd think the same once you saw them doing what they do best. If only she had sheep... you're pup might very well take a shining to herding the Fit...

 

Good to hear there's a new dog in the house, Tex. Man you got a natural hearder in that one. What it's name? post a pic or 2.
hey pup

 

What he replaced the wife?

Congrats there Wily.

 

Hey BTS I'm only 15 mins away, Next nice (sunshine) weekend your home lets meet up somewhere.
