the car looks great! i love the tint and the badging.

nice pics too, don't be afraid to try some crazy angle shots

 

Enjoy your Fit! The tint looks very classy--good choice.

 

Well it's no "GR8 Pumpkin" (my sister's doing, not mine) but it sure does look like a little luxury car! Good going on posting the pics....

 

Very nice, that'd be my choice of color as well. Gives me something to photoshop ideas onto, too.

 

Black looks even better than I'd imagined. Love the tint and the badge (might have to get one myself). Any more mods in the near future?

 

I was flirting with the idea of 205/50/16 summer tires with stiff sidewalls to get more of the on rails feel like the 07-08s, but I think they'll stick out too much from the rim and I would hate to lose some mpg for it.

Nothing else aesthetic I'm planning to add, definitely some Hawk brake pads and then a much less wimpy horn, maybe from an 08 Accord.

That's it. I like it pretty much as is.

 

Psstt... get the carbon-fiber look interior trim (door switch panels, meter trim, side outlets)! It will look especially hot with your black exterior. Makes my Pumpkin look pretty luxurious on the inside too. Since they're just stick on, you can get them through College Hill for a big discount over dealer charges and installation should be a breeze (NOT speaking from experience)...

 

I would like the carbon fiber, it's just a matter of cost. Can you gauge how much installation is for say the meter and front armrest only trim?

 

I hear ya! I'd love to get the carbon fiber B pillar trim but at $200+, that will have to wait. Up here in Canada, the interior trim (with installation at my Honda dealer) costs:

- door switch panels = $176.38
- meter panel = $86.46
- side outlets = $81.27

I think your pricing in the US is considerably cheaper, though I don't know by how much....

 

i like the first picture

 

I'd wait for a real carbon fiber interior overlay from aftermarket if you want carbon, unless you just want it because it's OEM.

 

I don't really care about OEM or not. I just think those stick-on "faux" carbon-fiber pieces look good in my car. The door switch panel trim looks like actual pieces, not "stickers". No complaints about the looks at all....

 

any tint, even clear tint is illegal on the front windows in cali

 

Do you have the original high res copy of the first picture you posted? I'd like something really high res to play with and chop, and I know your Coolpix L1 takes pictures that are larger than what you posted. If you do, can you send it my way?

 

Nice lookin', man!

 

Sure. I'm on my way out the door right now, so if you could wait until later tonight I can do that. It won't be the full 6 megapixel file as that's like 23 mb. But as large as 5mb will allow. How's that sound?

 

Exactly what do you want to Photoshop? If you tell me I can just do it. I'm a designer so I'm a master at Photoshop.

 

Nice!

The '09 is really growing on me. Congrats.

Does anyone get the image of a praying mantis from the first pic?

 

Anything high resolution without too much jpeg compression (or any filetype for that matter) would be wonderful, thanks! I don't know what I'm going to chop onto it, probably a bunch of different wheels, adjust the height of the vehicle, maybe play with some carbon weave pattern on the hood.. The usual stuff. I'm slowly getting better at chopping, been at it teaching myself since 3.0, haha. I just can't freehand new kits and stuff onto the vehicles, though.

 

PM me your email so I can send it.
