I need to do that to my T1R. What are you supposed to use since it's not chrome?

I dunno...I had some metal polish...but I can't even find it. FML. I used it on my old HKS when the previous owner had run it with a full header, pipe, no cat and it had tarnished. Now I can't find it. Suckage.

Ok here's what I did...found an old clay bar I had. Got off some road tar using that and lube..I washed my car recently and haven't driven so no dirt on it. That got most of it off and then I just polished it with a microfiber cloth and quick detailer. Looks really really good. I dunno if same technique would be ok on your t1r.

Just finished washing and waxing it. Had been about 3 weeks since I was stateside for 2 and just got back last weekend to nothing but rain. Damn I love when it is all clean, the pearl white just looks yummy.

When modded a bit, I agree. Otherwise, they look a little bit small on the road in my opinion. Great in pics, when you can't tell how tiny the Fit is though.

Here is a recent pic of my car with the RS style tails, just for kicks.



A visor test fit, but I took them off since I think it is too cluttered looking for my tastes.

Now I either want to add a rear spacer and sway bar, or try to import some damn Mugen springs since everything over here, including the Swifts, lower the car too much for me I think. I want 1/2"-3/4" lower all around. Coilovers that go to stock height might be an option too.

Hayden...if you're ever this way, you need to look at my car. I think the Swifts will not disappoint...especially for the money!

Oh...and does that mean you are gonna sell your visors?

Yeah, I'd love to see Adele. They look great, no doubt. My requirements are a little odd for this car. Going super-clean-oem.

Yes, the visors are probably for sale. I love the function of them so much, I can't let go of the idea, but ultimately I don't think I will put them on. Sometimes the whole "do what you like" thing isn't the best route for someone.

edit: even the I <3 Fit license plate frame is something I only run on the weekend.

Took the fit on a 3 hour trip. Mostly through towns but a little interstate driving. Only avgd 35mpg. But considering i was doing 80-90mph for 30 min, that isnt too bad.

I also have more good news, my windshield met a flying rock about 2hours in at 80mph. Now i have a BEAUTIFUL 10inch crack and chip on the lower half of the windshield. Luckily, florida is a clean glass state. Insurance picks up the tab, 100%.
