Thanks, look up light painting. It's done by moving a light source around the car after setting the camera to take a long exposure, usually longer than 10 seconds.

Thanks, I'm glad I got it, I was going to get a JDP lip at first but some friends convinced me to go Mugen even if I'm broke now lol.

I don't know how you do it, but you make this look so effortless.

Haha thanks, but it's completely the opposite. Nothing comes without difficulty in one way or another. I'm still very much a beginner, this is actually my second car ever, and the first I've modded. I've been learning as I go and spent a lot of time figuring out how things are supposed to work and come together before I even bought parts. I've also lucked out with getting a lot of good used parts.

It's the same when it comes to photography. Research, practice, and planning helps you learn better and avoid wasteful spending on lenses/equipment you don't really need. The most lenses I will ever own at a time will only be 4-5, it gets kind of redundant after that.

I'll be in Austin the weekend of Sep 29th for Wekfest if you want to make the trip. I'll probably be looking for some interesting locations to shoot at anyways.

Vanct you're full of s#$t. All it takes is a cheap set of coilovers and you're entitled to talk down to everyone who interacts with you.

i think the enkei's looks great. the machined look at one time was real popular a few decades ago and honda started bringing them back as like a neo-retro look. my '12 came with partly machined wheels and i think these enkei's further enhance the new style.

in 2012, the machined forks are very cool.

vanct- nice work!

Installed the RSB over the weekend and it really does make a huge difference, I was surprised. I feel so much more confident in the corners now. Coming down to the final stretch before Wekfest, but I'm ready. Hoping I will get a chance to do a photoshoot in Austin the night before.

Shot of the T1R 50s while I had the rear end raised


RSB installed and dirty springs

Don't you see them in the background of those pics?

I'll post in about a week, want to unveil them at Wekfest lol. I'll say they are somewhat unexpected for a Fit although not the most aggressive. They're a discontinued 2 piece wheel made in Japan, 17x7 +37, 22 lbs., with a polished face. I bet you could figure this one out, just don't spoil it!
