On a more relevant note: I should be making a fairly big purchase soon. Details will come later, don't want to jinx myself
I haven't curbed my RPF01s yet... but I do have some... "damage."

I'm not sure what caused it... or even WHAT it is, just looks weird. Looks like someone went at it with a sander and took the paint out of a spot. But the exposed color is yellow...? I would've expected it to be chrome/silver/grey.

Could I have gotten "repaired" wheels, and that exposed part is epoxy or something? I shouldn't have, since I bought them new from TireRack.

That black and color matched white is the shit man. Looks really nice...thats how the lights should have come from the factory, really sets off the front.

And at this point the fit should at least have an option to have projectors ughh always looking for the cheap route out honda.

That looks great. I don't think most colors would pull it off as well.

I ordered some LEDs for the dome/map/trunk/license plates today. I also ordered the same bulbs and the PIE iPod interface for my brother's Si as a graduation present.

Retrofit looks real nice on the white. Good job! Think I'll try photo shopping your white to black, so I can get an idea how they would look on my black Fit.

There's already a DIY somewhere out there. Just can't find it anymore.

Whoa! Dealer for a flat? Hope they didn't charge you a premium.

My poor fit has been so neglected. I had big plans, but just havent had the time to get to any of it. Life always gets in the way.

Believe it or not, the local Honda dealer is cheaper by half than anyother tire repair center in the area. They all do the same thing. They take the tire off, they unmount it, they patch it from the inside, remount, computer balance, and put the tire back on the car. Most places around here charge anywhere from 25 to 30 dollars to do this. The Honda dealer charged me $15.

I am a happy camper.....Tire America wanted $28 to do the same job. The Honda dealer had me out in less than 20 min. What would you do?
