finished my retrofit


ill post pics of them mounted on my car later

 

Those mini gats are just a bit too small in the GE housing.

 

Did this a while ago to hold me over until I get my t1r shift boot.

 

I'm getting a hankering to buy something today...

 

Build yourself a carputer with sensors to monitor all your obd2 readouts.Then install some type of AI program to control everything by voice commands. That should empty out your bank account a little

 

Nah, I just got 1.5w LED license plate lights and chrome-dipped front turn signal bulbs to get rid of that nasty egg yolk look.

 

damn do you do something to your car everyday? That Fits gonna go from stock to sick in less than 30 days

 

I also had to order new clips for my shaved hatch trim, new JDM rear emblem, and JDM key fob.

I just did my first fill-up. 38.92mpg

 

Just put in the JDM hazard button. Easy job. Thought it would be a little bit brighter though. This pic is about how it looks in real life. I could have upped the gains and made it look bright, but I thought folks should know. There's no need for it to be bright from a design standpoint, so I don't know what I was expecting. I like it though.

 

^ I loved mine in the last Fit. I'll put one in my car as well as the ambient lighting which are both bright enough but not overbearingly bright.

 

I'll be getting the ambient light kit next. I like the little touches.

Also, I'll see if I can dig up some sticky tape later tonight to put the new Zeta dead pedal on without drilling. Another nice touch that seems to match up with the accessory sport pedals pretty well. The Mugen ones would be easier to match with one of their finishes, I think.

I might even add the red carbon steering wheel emblem insert, but I fear of going from relatively stock looking to rice overnight. More pics later!

 

I don't know. I was just thinking about how those are possibly the best looking GE retrofits I've ever seen. lol

 

I curbed my front left rim pretty bad
Makes me want to get rid of the 17's even more now.

 

A slightly less expensive option is to get tires with a "wheel guard" (where there's just a bit more rubber sticking out near the wheel), or plain wider tires, so the curb will rub the sidewall of the tire before it gets to the wheel.

This is one reason why I wouldn't get wheels beyond 7" in width for the Fit (would actually prefer 6.5" with 205mm wide tires).

 

I'm already running 215's on 17x7's. Since my rims have a flat face with no lip, it scratched up a couple of the spokes pretty bad too

 

I have 17X7's. I'm always super careful around curbs because I hate the idea of screwing up such a beautiful piece of automotive art! That's not to say you aren't careful, but there's always room for improvement.

 

I'd cringe if I curbed a set of RPF1's haha. I'm usually pretty careful, but I completely misjudged how far I was and pulled in way to quick. Oh well, shit happens haha.
On a more relevant note: I should be making a fairly big purchase soon. Details will come later, don't want to jinx myself

 

Received my 1st bird crap for my car. I'm surprised that I've almost been 1 month free of bird droppings.

 

Haha yea don't worry about it, it happens. We get careless for a second, and then pay for it.
