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.

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!

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

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.

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