Finished product after 3hrs in the oven. It has a nice and unexpected candy red/blue effect going.

Put numbers on it. Today was a fun runs day at Candlestick with the BMWCCA. My best run was 55.9, ftod was 48-something from a guy with a Formula Ford, while the fastest BMW time was 51-something.

There weren't any Fit wheels with audio controls on ebay, plus the DIY mentions buying a used Civic wheel for the controls since there are more of them around. If I can't get the wheel to work it's no big deal as I can transfer the audio controls over to my stock wheel

its on d2 coilovers. the fronts could go way lower and the rears still have the spring seat and the one collar the lines up the springs all the way down. fronts have smaller upper strut bolts all the way pushed in and i still only have -2.5 of camber in the front, wtf. i barely clear 205-40-17s on 17x7 +40's with no fender mods at this height.

My Modulo ducktail came in yesterday, had them wrapped in Black matte vinyl and put some 3M double tapes, and installed the wing.The fitment is top-notch, no hassle.
