Ordered new Project Mu HC+ pads front and rear as well as some new Dixcel Type FS rotors for the front and Type HS rotors for the rear. Decided I will pass on the 6pot calipers from Seidou-Ya/J's Racing for another day.

Just a question to the guys w/ retro fitted lights, where and how much? I want to do the D2S retro fit but idk where to go to get them done and I would like to know a price range before I think of investing in this, I just want to know what the total cost would be and where you guys got them done at. Thanks.
Oh and I didn't do anything today with the Fit because I am almost 700 miles away from it. On a support mission in Fort Bliss and couldn't bring it. But my friend drove it from Fort Hood to here and I got to drive up through the mountains with it. Not as fun as going to Utah from Fort Worth. The Drive was amazing and I am going to do it again this June to go to my wedding. Fun car, I plan on keeping it and hopefully soon ppl will start recognizing these cars and making more products for them for us street car ppl.

Yeah I definitely do. I'll post my concerns on Nico's DIY thread as soon as I gather my thoughts of all the things that went wrong. I just realized my thumb is just a tad sore, so even with gloves, I must have burned that trying to pry the headlights apart.

Lol I have a set of headlights if you need another pair to work with. I really just want to get rid of them so I'll let them go pretty darn cheap.

Nah...it'll still work. It's just scarred just above the turn-signal. I bought an extra pair just for this scenario, in case I mess up.
