Okay, I FINALLY uploaded some pics of my car and this is the first ever attempt at posting pics on a site, so bear with me if this doesn't work:

Paid sticker. Glad I got it when I did. I have a feeling those few dealers that resisted mark ups on this car are going to give it a second thought after the Fit's 48% gain.

Nice photo's. I like the "RS" tag on the back. Nice touch.

Thanks. I was actually in a rush trying to get back to my office when I took those, so even the location wasn't the best, but at least there was some cloud cover that moment (which is rare in L A) which is better for photography.

That RS badge is actually very nice. You can't tell from the pic, but it's a nice sparkly red metallic and the whole badge is coated with a clear layer.

What % is your tint???

Love the black, I was to impatient to wait so I got the first the dealer could get there hands on. So silver it was.

When I first picked up the car I took a quick gander at the color specs in the paint. Now I've had several Nighthawk Black Hondas already so I'm familiar with the blue/green and whatever else is in that paint. Well the Crystal IIRC, is pretty much the same except with far fewer specs, or a lot more spacing between the specs, but it's mostly blue specs like the Nighthawk.

I have Lllumar ATC 35 all around and nothing on the windshield. I hope I don't get a ticket for this. I thought it was legal. Oh well. The tint makes the inexpensive Fit look expensive.

And my thanks to JDM DOHC SiR for the RS badge.
