Pictures of Progress

I really never see any modded GE in Blackberry Pearl. So here are a few pictures of mine. This is right after I put my wheel spacers on the rear.

Current mods are as follows

Dropzone Springs
Rota GT3 in 16x7 +40 with stock 185/55
5mm wheel spacers in rear
Red H emblems in front and rear
Handmade axle back exhaust
Thule roof rack for my Downhill Mountain Bikes

Ride isn't horrible. But it is alil bouncy in the back. Gonna go with a full coil over though for adjustability and ride. Thanks for all the compliments. I know that this isnt a common color.

Stiffer and less body roll than stock? I think the bounce might just be stiffer springs and a lack of weight in the rear..

Yes alot less body roll than stock. Its great in corners and at highway speed. Just when you go down bumpy back roads its alil bouncy. Its livable but alil more than Id like.

That looks great! The roof rack on these cars can really set them off. The rear spacer adds that little touch too. These cars practically need them too look right. They really maxed out the static sense of movement when sculpting the f/r proportions. The result is probably more carrying capacity, but there is a serious overhang on this car. I didn't care about spacers til I bought the Fit.

Love the black on gold combo. Tires look beefy though.

They are actually the stock tires. The 185/55R16. They only had 17000 miles on them. So I wasnt gonna just let them sit around. Thanks for the compliments though. I was torn on what color wheel to go with but saw the rota gold and knew that was what I wanted.

Also the rack gets used like 3 times a week. Not just there for show. Between my downhill bike and my dirt jump bike its never empty long.
