Light-colored fabric "sheepskin" covers for the front seats.
Light (California legal) tint on the front windows, dark in the rear


The moons and lakester disks can be very cool. I have a set of Lakester disks on my White Scion painted to match the car and have had quite a few people ask me where I got those cool wheels. Not bad for $60 a set hubcaps on steel wheels! Oh, and with going from 185/60 to 195/65 tires I've scuffed curbs without even getting close to the wheels and caps!

I've never tried the add-on whitewalls, but others have said that they are a pain to keep centered if the car is driven much. They are more for show cars.

The rat fink license plate studs might cause you some problem at Customs. They generally don't approve of vermin! :)

I remember the moon hub caps from the old days having a satin finish. Nice look.

Moon discs would be cool with white walls

I bet over the life of the car, they would lead to less gas consumption. Race cars have used them to cut resistance.

I did something similar a while back.

I didn't take pics of the actual install but here is the thread with my finished product.

They use holeless hubs on the hybrid to cut resistance but make them look like regular hubs.

Doesnt everyone need a laser to project a stop line behind their car? Or aim it up and blind people -_-

Lololololol. The Chinese will try and sell anything they can make.

Damn, have to have a link for pics...

Well I got blue LEDs installed in the dome and map lights (it looks pretty good at a fraction of the cost of the "ambient light"). White waffle LED in the trunk. Also got the shift boot cover and knob installed. Used blue plumber's stretch tape to cover the gap between the boot and the knob. Looks pretty sick!

When the weather gets better (it's currently about 30), I plan on PlatiDiping the front grill and the rear chrome trim. Anyone have any advice on using it as a cheap sill protector?

Somewhere there's is a link to eBay for stainless steel sill protectors. I think they were like $30 but they ship from China.

Nice. I'm torn between the OEM all weather or these. I like the look of the OEM better but the Huskys seem like they offer more protection.

You need something that has little sidewalls to keep the dirt on the mat. I don't know what the Honda mats look like, but WeatherTech has those raised sides.

Stupid Husky! You have to buy front and rear mats. I have mats in the front, so I'll wait for WeatherTech to make mats for the rear. I'm not going to spend $145 for rear mats.

WeatherTech now has them for the rear, and their one big piece.

those mats look pretty good, definately easy to clean and keep the dust and stuff in there

so far on my aus spec GK i have just changed interior lights to LED and park lights to LED. fit the accessory blue accent lights and accessory pedals. fit some morel front splits and fit a phone holder.

i have got a RS spoiler being painted and awaiting the accessory moustache grill to arrive.

in australia i have the Vti-s Version which is the crappy 1.5 sohc cvt. we dont get spoilt like you guys everywhere else in the world with the DOHC

Husky Mats ordered off Amazon for $139.95, 2 day shipping. Too bad I didn't order these a day or two ago since we're supposed to get dumped on with snow tomorrow here in the Boston area.

Nice. Weathertechs have rears available now, I opted to go with Huskys as a competitor of WT. I have WT's in my tacoma and they, imo, aren't worth the extra $50-80 over the huskys.

Wheel Lock Nut compatibility
 
Can wheel lock nuts that I bought and never used on my 2008 Fit Sport now be used on my 2015 Fit EX? I would not like to screw up threads by experimenting. Thanks. :popc:

If you can screw one on easily by hand, and there isn't a lot of slack in the threads, you should be fine. I'll see if I can find the specs for each.
