Reintroduction, CBP GE

I never really posted too often and I haven't really done anything notable to really stand out to begin with, but just wanted to reintroduce myself since I've been straight inactive for about a year or so.

GE8 Noob still. 2009 crystal blackberry pearl.
It's been dinged and neglected, broken into, etc., this passed year because of college and living in areas with a lot of rowdy college foot traffic, but I make do.

Stupidly stock, never changing, daily econobox.
Good to be back to continue my learning about the Fits.

A few images I've taken while I've been gone.

And here's a stupid test fit I did while swapping out my wheels from a different car project that is also going nowhere. 13" enkei 92's but the 13" of madness won't clear the front calipers. Thought it interesting though. Straight bubble meat sidewall.

Future plans.

-New HID's on the way. 5000k, straight white.
-Different shrouds for the projector retrofit, also on the way

-Wheels for sure, just graduated college so it probably won't happen soon.
Aiming for 16's, maybe even 15's. 0 camber, all that boring sheeeit.

-Replacing Type R emblems back to stock when I'm not being lazy
-Taking off i-Vtec SOHC sticker, again, when I'm not being lazy
-Find an exhaust for a deeper note (that's not too loud) probably heading the Tanabe route

Pretty much just finding ways to make this thing more on the subtle end. Don't care about being/looking fast. Just trying to get 40mpg in style is all.

Haha thanks. It's just some crummy DIY home depot lip unfortunately. Sides as well.

Rattlecan with engine enamel. I'm super cheap like that.

Nice the stock wheels in that color, what kind of paint did you used to get that tone????
