Its printed wrap vinyl. I wrapped a cassanos pizza truck in part wood grain and I had quite a bit of trim left over. I can print whatever you want on wrap vinyl.

very nice jazzhands68... I like. BUT easy on the things you hang on that rear view mirror. I had a bad experience with them... had a chinese charm made of metal shot out after the airbags deployed and broke the rear windshield glass.

LMAO @ that Plotinum story SgtBaxter

carbon fiber isnt cheap. And I dont have any so i would have to buy a whole roll at 75 a yd. If you wanted something simpler that I could print, i could send you enough to do those pieces for right around 50. and it takes a little patience to wrap it all perfectly but it can be done with a little heat and stretching. you can shoot me a pm if you want to work something out.

thanks man. I know what you mean. My brother was in the air force and stationed in japan, so he brought it back for me. I didnt even think about it having the metal bells on it. The car jar is gone now, I get made fun of for it haha but I love the way it smells.

Today I installed McGard wheel locks on the factory stock Sport wheels, and did McGuires Ultimate Liquid Wax (really a paint sealer).

Picked up car on Monday, thus far Weathertech floor mats front/back, hood deflector, Headlight Armor on fog lights, spare door only keys, complete wax including outside glass, door jams, under hood and wheels. This will probably be the only time to wax under hood and in the door jams.

I have the OEM center console, and Headlight Armor for the headlights in hand to install, and weather tech window visors, tow bar brackets, and lighting kit on order.

Appointment on Saturday for Formula One Pinnacle window tint. Have not decided on 50 or 40 yet, unlikely (but possible) I'll go as dark as 30. I need to look at samples against the glass to decide.

100 mile round trip @ I5. Average speed was 65mph. I reseted the trip meter before the trip so I can see the mpg at the dashboard guage; yes, I know, it's not very accurate. Managed to do 42.4 mpg average during that 100 miles. Cruise control 80% of the time. Compared to my hand calculations, the gauge is normally off by +/- 0.3 mgp. The worst being +3 mpg, which was during the first fill up. So let's say worst case scenario, I managed to do 38 mpg on 100% freeway driving. I'm happy. I thought my Fit was a gas guzzler since I average 29-30 mpg in the city.

Saw alot of horrible accidents today =( Must be friday the 13th doing it's job. Ambulance, body bag, pool of blood, the whole deal.
