That's exactly what I'm going for, and trying to keep it clean and low-key since this is my daily driver

Exterior-wise I am just waiting for this weekend to install the door visors and that will complete the outside

Got it from Bernardi parts via Amazon, was about $192 shipped to SoCal and was pretty much what I paid for the same cover for my 350z

Helps to keep her a little hidden when I'm away so I'm not advertising all of my parts

Looks great, did you put lowering springs on your car or is it stock?

Here is the latest look:

Added a 5mm spacer in the rear to give it a more even stance and also added the OEM door visors. Exterior-wise the car is done.

I completely agree with you about black wheels, I just think it's a nice combination against any color car especially this TW. Honestly in SoCal there are so many stock Fit's I really wanted mine to stand out and I think black wheels really help to do that. the best thing about these wheels is that they are so light, so they are both form and function!

Thanks for the compliment!

The DF's really cleaned up the handling of the car, gone is the bouncy nature of the OEM springs and even with 4 people in the car the ride is still firm but not too firm

On Friday I took a drive through one of the canyons here in SoCal and it completely held it's own through some pretty tight sections and as you can see it's not too aggressive that you have to worry about your OEM wheels rubbing the fenders or even my much more aggressive aftermarket setup too

Did a little photoshoot close to sundown to highlight some of the new mods

In this shot you can see all the newest stuff.. My 5mm spacers on the rear wheels, window visors, and Tanabe exhaust

Rear profile showing off the fitment, I think I have it dailed in and it doesn't rub at all even with 4 passengers in the car

I love these wheels, such a high quality finish and so easy to keep clean

I like this angle, shows how much the visors cover the window and add's some sportyness to the car

Rearshot of the exhaust, doesn't hang low at all and is discrete looking but really gives the engine a nice response

That was my biggest worry with this car, I didn't want it to sound funky

This Tanabe exhaust is really subtle unless you get into the higher revs and it really opens up

I give up trying to clean these wheels by hand, the spokes are too close together and my hands are too big so I bought one of these
