Andvari's GE8 pic dump and slow build
Originally made a post in Wheels subforum to show off the upgrade alloys that no one ever buys, but that's not really the place for build updates.
So here's my 2011 Fit. Bought CPO with 13k on the odometer and packing several dealer installed upgrades. My lead foot is having a hard time adjusting to a car without an engine swap or a turbo, but it's such a fun car to cruise in.
I don't anticipate a lot of expensive updates for the first couple months while the checking account adjusts to a car payment. But I'm trying to squeeze in DIY and small stuff between work and kids.
Done so far:
gloss black head light surrounds
plasti-dip matte black lower lip, badges, and wheels
Next on deck:
plasti-dip rear diffuser and roof
swift springs
How she sat the day I brought it home:
De-pinstripped:
Bumper off to do some painting:
As of 9/9:

Took the wheels off to dip. Didn't realize they were Enkei
Did four or five coats of the matte black, finished up around midnight. Woke up this morning to rain, so hopefully that doesn't impact the curing.
Also got my vinyl decals in from TFB Designs!
Pandering to the audience:
