The only thing this car had when we got it were those chrome wheels. Since then it's had Tanabe coilovers, 16x8 +20 XXR 521's with Kumho Ecsta 195/45 tires, 6000k HID kit, OEM front lip, and OEM side skirts. It's looking a little messy right now but on May 7th it's going in for paint! The whole car will be painted gun metallic from a 370z

Welcome to the forum and to the Fit Family! I also have a Milano Red GD3 which is a 2007 - hope mine doesn't fade like your girlfriends but if it does
it would definitely be painted too. Can't wait to see it when you get it done. Loving those rims!
