Hey bro, looks awesome! So that is film? That could be removed if you wanted? How much did it cost if you dont mind.
Finally got your aluminum battery hold down bracket made, (been out of town a lot) I'll mail it tomorrow.
For wheels my favorite choices Enkei RPF1 or Final Gear/final Speed for the best compromise between weight/price/looks in the $600-850 per set range (for a set of 16's. 17's will be about $150-300 more)
Or for $1300 and up you of course have additional choices.

Awesome man thanks again for that!
Also yeah its film. Pretty much like 1 big sticker. If I ever decide I dont like it it just peels off. The vinyl itself cost me $60 and the installation was also $60. More expensive than me painting it but the good thing is if I decide I dont like it I can just peel it off. If you paint it and decide you dont like it as much your screwed.
Ive been looking into RPF1's too. Affordable, lightweight, and look great.

Hey nice car! i really like the black top, i had to take a second and third look because i thought it had the glass top like over in asia haha
if you want to make your mirrors black just send them off to be painted, it would be pretty cheap and it wouldn't take long for 2 little mirrors

I almost went with either of these when I bought wheels.
*they are forged
*only weigh about 15 lbs in a 17 and they are 42 offset
*had a set on my 01 Maxima, liked em so much I got em for my 03 Max
* yes an unusual recommendation for a Fit, which is why I almost bought them again
*sometimes they have specials where you can get a set for about $800

Great Im glad people are starting to take care of their Fits and washing them correctly. Little things like that make a big difference.
Also I heard the insight mirrors wont work. I think I might get black winker mirrors or just wrap the stock ones in black vinyl. Theyre starting to stick out like a sore thumb to me.

insight mirrors won't work?! oh no!! oh wells...
keep in mind with these wheels, our offset will look nothing like the above pics. The face will be flatter and the area around the hub will be no where near as deep.
Thx for the heads up, I will definitely have to see it in person first.
