Blue pearl paint will be nice..

 

lexus pearl white with blue pearl.

 

That's going to look great.

 

^Super jealous, that's my favorite white, can't wait for finished product.

Got this BNIB OEM 90's Civic shift knob. I've always liked them on old Hondas i've driven so thought why not try it on the Fit. Ended up loving it with the extension and will probably keep it on.

 

Picked up some polished Slipstreams today. Should look great against the Vortex Blue.

 

got this done today

wish I could do some of the things you guys are tackling!

 

Dang wish I could afford a total respray like that! Just wrapping instead. My car is Crystal Black Pearl and HATE IT. Wrapping 3M matte white...just gotta find the time. That Lexus color is bangin. I love Honda Championship White too. Just a great plain white color. I would be afraid to park ANYWHERE though if I got that Lexus pearl paint!

 

Just did A&J Racing Aero Mirrors today...

 

^How functional are those mirrors and do they rattle a lot?

 

they are convex, so they offer more visibility than you would expect. perhaps not as much as the stock truck mirrors, but more than adequate. i have not driven with them yet, so i don't know about rattling.

 

How much was the trunk light? And is it PnP?

 

Those are pretty slick. Not a bad price either. Easy to install them?

yeah, at first i took off the door panel, disconnected the connector, and pulled it out, but then i realized you HAD to cut the harness anyways. so, on the other side i skipped that process.

you open the door, pry off the cover (i used a flathead screwdriver), cut wire harness, take off 10mm nuts but leave the screw alone, swap mirrors on the base held on by 3 phillips screws, then reinstall. make sure to cut the harness to where you can solder the wires back together if needed. the cover has a lip, so you want to lift up and out once the clip is popped off the bottom... and when you reinstall it you want to hook it back on the rail before pushing the clip in.

 

i just drove it, no issues with vibration. i also got the spoon rear view mirror...

 

I got the lens for $12.44 not including shipping and it was plug and play. Even uses the same bulb

 

We have very similar tastes in mods (white ge8, spoon side mirrors, spoon rear view, and black 15 rims with sticky tires). I just color matched and installed mine a few weeks ago. No need to cut the harness at all. The OEM mirror wires can be easily de-pinned from the connector.

 

well we also are/ were NSX owners. i should have thought about de-pinning the wires. lol. its all good though, i am keeping the car for like 20 years, so the mirrors are staying on there for a while.

 

You don't need to cut the harness. I used to run these mirrors as well. Once you have the mirror off, you can disassemble the entire thing. Theres the three phillips screws on the base, and if you remove the rubber grommet, there are two other screws you can pull out to run the OEM harness through.

Just wanted to clarify. I've taken mine off, but yeah. JHPUSA has them cheaper, same exact product too.
