x2. The headlights look great tho Boogers!

So I just got back from test driving a bone stock '04 S2000. Was thinkin of replacing the fit, and it was priced at just under $15k w/ 95k miles. After driving it tho I'm gonna stick w/ the fit for a while. The S2k is a great car, but even w/ stock suspension the ride's kinda rough and the seats are shite. And I saw the gas gauge go down a considerable amt in just the 15 min I drove it. Would be a cool second car but I can't afford two autos at the moment.

Ordered winter tires to go on the pizza cutters. Now I'm going to decide on a colour for the mini wheels for summer. I want something contrasting, so I was thinking either orange or red, and a set of tow hooks to set off the look a little more.

I love that steering emblem. Did yours come in a J's package? Mine did. Apparently it's not really J's from what people told me based on the packaging, just a replica, but it seems damn fine to me.

Fitted JDM front and rear badges. Front badge is slightly too large for the emblem aperture (UK 2012 car) so careful use of Dremel.. Sorted.

Love what you did with the LED rings this time around.
Nice to see you keeping the GE8, looking forward to seeing your final product.

If you ever plan on getting rid of those let me know, I'd love a set like that.

I went with the Morimoto FX-R BiXenon stage III retrofit. No comparison to the HID's I first installed. I'm a big fan of projector retrofits now. I just ordered another set to convert my Goldwing to bixenon.Name:  HIDretrofit.png

Fitment looks great. I just need to get under the bumper and drill 4 holes. I'll do it tomorrow if I wake up early. I think this is 99% confirmation that the Fit Shuttle's (GP2/GG7/GG8) front end is the same as USDM Sport 12+ front end.

Just realized a shroud had a small scuff on it, so I'll be grabbing a new one tomorrow.

Sealed ready to go until I caught that scuff at just the right light and it irked me enough until I decided to bake it back open!
