MattFit's pre owned 2008 GE8 DIYs

hi fellow fitfreaks, Im new to the forum & from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I would like to share some ideas n thoughts with all the Jazzy experts in here. Well ive gotten a 2nd hand honda Jazz off a friend, for cheap. But its in scratchy with dings condition. But i think its still the best Jap supermini to date and makes a great second car. So here goes my pic thread;

first thing i did was taking it for a quick but thorough wash down nearby my place...

next day i decided on some Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs, and changed all four abs while at it, to give some sort of newer feel to the whole car

to match out the black on white theme, so i went for a set of Mugen visors & 16 ins SSR Type-F race wheels, they look kinda small IMO... considering 17s

I did touched up those scratches with some Honda NH-578 paint, the ones that looks like nail polish, they worked quite good i must say.
Atm still waiting for my JDM Fit RS rear spoiler & emblems to arrive from Bangkok... will post it up as soon as i got them installed... Please leave any comments or suggestions as im running out of ideas to mod. Might want the Sunset Orange II paintjob..

got some old component set laying around so decided to just install them along with a 2 channel power amp... and some door panel sound proofing... Makes lots of difference in a small car

Your car looks great, did you install the spoiler or have a shop do? If you did is it hard to do?

Ive found the best pair of JDM EK9 red Recaros after 3 weeks of survey and finally settled for these, doesn't come with ek9 rail tho so i had it custom fabricated by a local seat shop.

Those seats look great, nice choice, and I applaud your dedication to have brackets fabricated for them. Brackets came out nice too!
