It is a 1991 200 20v Wagon. One of about 150 imported. Nice 160mph grocery getter! I sold it to a friend so I still get to see it once in a while and may get it back. Had to sell it to get my turbo Dodge.

Nice wagon... I sold my audi to a local guy with explicit instructions about how the tranny wasnt supposed to handle the amount of power it put out so no smoke shows.
no 180mph runs lol...
he called me a week later wanted his money back because he destroyed the tranny....sorry not in NH bud
Some pictures there are real old lol

Figured I'd give the polishing of the exhaust tip a shot this afternoon. Here's how it turned out:

Used 1500 grit as well and sanded for maybe 10-15min. Not sure if that was long enough as it doesn't look as shiny as yours lol. But still pretty happy with the outcome

Looks great! A quick rub with some polish will take it the rest of the way. I used Mother's mag wheel polish.

Thanks. Rubbing some polish on there was the only thing I didn't do, so I'll have to try that for sure.

Chad T: I attempted to do the same thing a couple months back with my tails but it was too much of a b*tch. So I just got JDM tails from a friend in Indonesia. If you ever see a silver Fit rolling around town with Tint, Lowered, and JDM tails...give them a honk because 99.9% chance its me ;-)
I haven't seen any other modded Fits at all in Cbus.

Swag: I like the red on red. It looks nice.

Yeah it's a bit of a pain. I'll give you a honk if I see you. There are 2 SSM Fits on my street. One GE and one GD. There's also a blue base GE just a few blocks down.

Any reason you didnt do the turn signal part?

i did do the red blinkers but decided to take it off. i like the orange signals better, especially at night. i had 3 versions that i made. they all looked alright, but this is the best one.

i wanted it to look different but not sooo different that an avg joe would notice. keepin it simple and clean.
