Project-Clean : Louisiana

Hey everyone,

I just picked me up a 2012 base model fit, have done a few mods already.
little back story on me, I am from Arizona but currently live in Louisiana because I am in the Airforce, I have always loved Hondas, and have had many EF's. I had a PMM FiT sport a few months ago that was MT, but sold it and saved up some money and got this one. I have a decent amount of things I want to do to her, but nothing too extreme. I dont have any pictures of what I've done so far, so here are the only pictures I do have.

Attachment 21646 Rainy day.
Attachment 21647New headlight bulbs, also did some other mods that night, that I will tell about when i get pictures! ;)

Attachment 21632

then as I was sitting there I realized that i didnt really like the color of the hubcaps.. so i went and found some gunmetal spray paint.
unfortunately by the time i got em sprayed it was dark and so i didnt put them on, but here is what they look like!
Attachment 21633

That looks like you got a good start there. Hubcaps look a lot better with the gunmetal finish.

BakedCookies 01-07-2013 09:24 AM

gotta say, those are some decent looking hubcaps now.

Nice fit. I'm in Shreveport. Maybe I'll see you on the road.

Jamy 01-22-2013 10:39 PM

Nice fit!

Hit me up if y'all ever head down to BR.

y950129 01-22-2013 11:05 PM

i got the same crack as yours when I was installing my coils. The nut wouldn't come off so I had to cut it off which now I need to order a new one when I go back to stock....

Sounds so much better! i just tapped into the door speakers for sound, and wala!

Wafulz 01-23-2013 12:17 PM

nice coming along good

Bisquick 01-23-2013 12:30 PM

Nice! Sometimes I wish I would have gotten a base model and moved up from there. I'm getting set to do the interior lights also. I did the math and you can save quite alot of hp. Well... just about 1 hp. Regular bulbs are very inefficient.

cjecpa 01-23-2013 12:39 PM

Where did you get your interior lights?

i ordered mine off of collge hills honda, the dome light and map light bulbs were 5.95 a peice i believe, and the trunk one was about 2 dollars more, they fit great, look great, and they're bright!

dewthedew 01-23-2013 02:44 PM

lookin good :cool:

fbpearce 01-23-2013 10:37 PM

Looks like yours has come a long way already. Here are a few things I've been working on.
