Angry Let me make something clear, right here, right now!!!

Now that I got your attention....

First up, I made the headlight area clear!


...then these too!
[IMG][/IMG]

I'll stop here for a second to let you know how I like to do things on the cars I have. My idea is generally to make it look like it could've come that way from the factory or subtle touches, like my next mods to the Fit!

I call this "factory aftermarket", what do you think?
[IMG][/IMG]
I took the look of the Civic Si as well as how the Fit/Jazz badges look and gave it my own little "twist"

Next up....




Overall view of the rear...


Oh yeah, the red H badge!


I know, I know, your asking about the exhaust tip, yes, its aftermarket and caps off a Magnaflow muffler (part #11132)


I have more pics, but I'm thinking there's a 10 pic limit, but let me wrap this post up with what I had made for my last car, a Mini Cooper S. I took old and new school and put them together into one, unique emblem. This one was installed onto plexiglass and was covered in acrylic, its probably the best idea I've ever come up with if I don't say so myself.


More pics coming up next, stay tuned!

Headlights and taillights look nice. I would like to know what bulbs you used to clear out the driving lights and rear turn signals.

The stickers and red emblems look rice. I don't think anyone would think those stickers came on the car. The red H screams "rice." Just my opinion. It's your car though, so if you like 'em...then keep rocking 'em.

Like I said before, I like putting a little "twist" on things, like this!


Sideview of this...

Nice overall view!


Let's go inside, not much different here but what the hell.

RS-1 pedals....look familiar, that's right, you've seen em' at Autozone or PepBoys.


My buddy Hectour made me a custom dead pedal, it doesn't match I know, but its better than nothing and what can I say, he made it just for my car, so its a "one off"


Overall view of the pedals and my carpeted Fit mats!


Red inserts for the steering wheel.


Finishing piece for the interior was this, something found on alot of old cars but not too many new ones, I think it looks good, small but looks great!

Sorry about the glare, its nice out right now and I spent the entire morning washing and applying a coat of Klasse All in One as well as Klasse Sealant glaze, this makes coats 6 and 7 since I got the car back in the end of February.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my pics, thanks guys/gals

The bulbs can be found here, I've also got the parking lights done too but its hard to see in the pics.www.autolumination.com Tail Light Brake Light Turn Signal LED Bulbs

As far as it looking "rice", this car does IMO it looks like something that "could've" come on the car because I had the OEM font used for everything, that's why I say it "looks like" it could've come on the car. Using the red H's completes the look and I don't think its untastefully done at all I know everyone has their own taste and style, but being 40 years old I think I've been around long enough to know what to do and more importantly, what NOT to do!

Don't worry, I'm not offended either, keep the comments coming, positive or negative, its all good!

I like your sig, it should be looked at more often...A gentel answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.

I like the 68' Charger

Thanks Klasse Act for noticing

I Forgot to say that Hectour must really like you and your Fit to make that dead peadel cover(it's really Nice) and if ya want it to match your gas and brake just use the edge of a quart paint can and scribe/trim the sides of the dead pedal to match the brake pedal ? maybe

Mike

Thanks Cat, like your sig, I'm a cat person too

I appreciate all the comments so far, I saw some ideas on here and took the ball and ran with it so to speak. Can't wait to get the HIDS installed tomorrow and the K&N typhoon intake installed early next week when it comes in. After that, I'm trying to sell my wheels (if it works out locally) but if not, I'm going to be installing a set of Conti DWS' in 205/50/16's and call it a day. I really like the stock wheels, but if I can add something else to "tweak" the car a bit more, what the hell and if not, I still win

Lowering the car is going to happen too, just takes time and money....more of the later for sure!

Wow the car looks great. Just not a fan of the rear door decals, but it's cool - it's not ugly or anything.

Regarding the interior Jazz emblem - I have that too, stock. It's a real rectangular emblem made to cover up the fact that my GD1 has no airbags.

A couple things, yes the tires/wheels are for sale but I'm trying to sell them somewhat locally and the name of the graffics company is VFX in New Jersey, phone number is posted above.

Thanks for the PM's guys and btw, since I posted these pics, I have the DDM Tuning 6k HIDs installed and they perform great. I was behind a Camry for about 10 miles and the car only moved over when turning onto their street, so I don't they bothered anyone. I'm going to have my g/f take my car down the road and I'll take her car and see how it looks coming down the road myself. I think what helps my car is the fact that I have 2500k yellow fogs, non-HIDs
