I thought about getting the HFP wheels, but decided I'm either going with Mugen XJs or if I'm feeling super rich, the Spoon wheels on japanparts (because I know shipping is going to be brutal).

You had to cut a piece out of the fender for those side markers correct? I'm just curious as to the process. I would never do it personally as the look will throw off what I'm going for with my Fit. But havin said that your job was well done and I'm curious as to all the work that went in to it.

clazzios are more for look, imo.

The bolsters and support in these seats trump the fit seats ALL day long.

I converted from Manual Trans to Automatic. No check engine lights or anything. Everything works 100% no issues at all.

Lol! Working on something and the gauge cluster is temporary so I can move the car around, but the cluster bolts right up with no issues and everything functions 100% even the gear indicator lights up. Only part that doesn't work is the little screen that shows what gear you're in.

So how are you cooling the new auto? Did the manual one's radiator have provisions for installing the cooling lines?

I'm pretty sure he just converted the cluster temporarily, not the trans

Lol Rick you're hilarious

Finally put my dws tires on my stock wheels extremely satisfied. My mechanic swapped my tires and asked me about the tpms. He said it was weird how only two wheels have them the other two didn't but the tmps light hasn't gone on. Anyone have any information on that.

and now I'm looking for a set of dw for my summer wheels
Also anyone in the northern part of Illinois looking for service let me know the guy does great work for a great price.

Thats what he said and he was so shocked too. They are stock wheels with original tires.

And the indicator hasn't gone off yet. Last week I had my other wheels on and the indicator was on then I swapped wheels and the indicator turned off.

That is weird, how much did you end up spending per tire?

They weren't new I found a guy who had a lease up and was giving 3 for $150 8/32. Then another on ebay. 205/50/16 it was random checking Cl but they came up and I knew I had to get them. I only find 205/55


If you meant the mounting then $100 plus alignment
