It has been a while since I post some pics of my PMM Fit so recently I decided to redout the stock tailights and added the Mugen front grille and finished it off with the 3M paint protection clear bra to keep it fresh and chip free. I didn't like the idea of doing the vinyl overlay so I wanted something permanent and it looks like it came from the factory. I only painted the upper portion of the tailights to get rid of the clear stuffs and leave the bottom stock just the way it is so after some research I decided to go with the Dupli-color metalcast anodized red with 5 coats and then 3 coats of the dupli-color premium automotive clear to protect it then follow it off with 2000 grits wet sand and buffed it off with the Meguiars polishing compounds, the wet sand processed is a must because this is where you get the smooth and to get that mirror like finish. It cost me a total of less than $20 to do the tailights so rather than spending $$$ to do JDM lights or the depot ones and the end result is totally worth it and put a smile on my face. Below is a link to my previous thread of my car. Now all I need is to swap out those ugly chrome headlights for some black ones.

nice fit i really like that color

also great job on the tails!

 

Dig the car, especially the bumper and rims. Nice work. Makes me wish I could have got a Sport.

 

Very nice FIT, I swear I've seen it...where are you at in PA? Around Pittsburgh by any chance?

 

Nice FiT...Tails look awesome and your craftsmanship is superb!

 

I'm in Exeter,PA was visiting Pittsburgh back in august maybe that is when you see it.

 

Nice, reminds me of the c class

 

Yep...saw it on Penn Ave in Lawrenceville around then. First modded GE8 I'd seen in person, and when I saw it I freaked out lol...I had just gotten mine and it made the mod bug bite that much harder! Now I have wheels, tires and coilovers on the way and I can partly blame you for all the money I've spent on mine...definatly inspired me.

 

Nice job. You can do a whole lot yourself for minimal cost if you just take your time and do it right. Well done.
