that dent (posted in previous page) will come out. i took autobody in Highschool. ive seen worse. if you take it to a good shop they'll (basically) weld on nails in the deepest parts and use a special tool that pulls it out. put a little body filler and paint. i forget the exact process or what its called but thats fixable. replacing that whole panel wont be neccessary(sp?)

shoot if you really wanted you could fix it your self. hit it out from the inside (if you can) and bondo(bodyfiller) over the rest and paint.

FitDeez- looks really nice droped onto stock wheels. oh and about the HID's, the reason why i ask is our Fits come stock with daytime running lights, a dimmer version of lowbeam, now when you remove the stock bulb and install your plug and play HIDs do you still have the daytime running lights?

and when you installed your BBS's did you have tire pressure sensors?

no tpms sensors , just drove around with the light on , and with the HIDs the daytime lights are removed with the bulbs so the hids stay on as soon as u turn on the car cause the hids cant run dimmer , so to fix that u have to remove the Daytime light fuse and then wen u turn the car on u wont have the hids on until u turn the headlights on

even tho i dont have HIDs i still took it out. imo its annoying. in a bright sunny day the lights are on. i feel dumb driving around like that. and specially at night when i dont want to be seen i cant shut them off. so i pulled the DRL fuse out and all problem solved

my question is why dont you have hid's? if you put 4300k in its about the stock color and quite a bit brighter without annoying to other drivers
and about the 2011 changes, i havent heard of any usually honda waits for the 4th year to do small changes and retains it for the 5th year then they change it all up with a major change after that 5th year - if you really wanna know check the japan websites - cuz they are a year ahead of us

i read that they might change the front up a bit. rumored that it will sport a different grill/ tails/ wheels and possibly a different front bumper. i always thought they do little changes after 2-3yrs and a whole new thing after 4-5. ex EKs 96-98 99-01.

Why i has not HID's? cuz im broke. haha. i will be tho, its on the top of my list. when winter rolls around here in AK it tends to be Nighttime all the time. lookin to get ebay bi xeon HIDs. Xentec maybe. any recommendations?
