...Thanks for the referral! Sounds like I need to visit the beach, see some friends, have some beers... And get the car wrapped
....
You definitely oughtta give him a shout a week or so prior to visiting, and tell him exact color you want, etc. He usually has standard colors, but it takes a huge piece to cover whole car. I think I gave him a 50% deposit, because i had him special order the 3m carbon (I'm picky...lol).
Either way, he has done lots of work for me. Just tell him Loco sent you! I am thinking about wrapping glove box and double -din kit in 3m carbon, too. And perhaps my side skirts and lower valence, to match hood, grille and wing.
Today I swapped-in the remainder of my new suspension (TruHart sport shocks and lowering springs). I am gonna do a write-up on the install/my opinions after I get aligned. Car is lower than stock by at LEAST 1.8 to 2". Ordered straight from D2 in Durham, NC. Good folks.

D2 is in Durham?!?! Looks like the IS is getting an upgrade soon in that case... OR K-Sport Kontrol Pros... Hmm...

I am talking to a few shops in Raleigh first but I'll shoot him an email for pricing. Probably gonna hold off on the widebody and just pull fenders (they're already wide af) and get either CE28SL's or RGII's in 18x10.5. We shall see, thanks for the help!
Replaced my stock Dunlops as one got badly punctured. Impossible to repair. Wanted to keep those tire for another season or two, but they suck so much that I decided to replace them instead of just getting one to replace the damaged one.
I got Toyo Proxes 4 Plus in 205/50R16. Wow, much more grip, much quieter...way better tire!!
Washed, waxed and vacuumed the Fit. Someone came to test drive it yesterday. Not sure till happen. Since it was clean took it to a near by spot Ive been wanting to use as a back drop.
While washing I did notice some cracking in the sidewalls. Is this something I need to worry about? Am I pushing these too hard?
I've been collecting body kit parts for a year now... things are really coming together in the next few weeks.
Genuine Mugen parts
Last winter I got the GE RS kit (bumpers), the same as Connor55 and well... things got bit out of hand as I got an other kit. This time it's the Mugen kit for Hybrid bumpers. Mugen Sports grille & Mugen Ventilated Visor's.
Mugen Hybrid kit (GP1/GE8-9)
Hope to have time to get the kit installed. I'm also wrapping the car, so hope everything tuns out good.
So two different kits – One for winter one for summer

Busted out the old cam and took my fit for a quick shoot
So shiny! Looks great =)
Fit has been garaged yet another week...currently driving a '01 Miata MX-5. Fun lil roadster. Aunt is out of the country...so we are car sitting her 2010 BMW 328i convertible and her GF's Miata.
Funny thing is, we may end up buying the BMW at some point and she may just gift us the Miata because she plans to move back to the "motherland" (aka Philippines).
Anyways...Fit is still testing the waters for sale...will be posting on autotrader soon. Curse my friend for wanting to sell his '14 GTI soon...and the GF really liking the new Civic hatches and saying if I wanted I could buy one...Curse the dealers for not having any 6spd Sport trim models for me to try out...
