Bronze (or gold) wheels look great on blue. I like the Slips much better than the Grids.

I've always liked the way gold and blue look together, much like the STIs.
I just wish the bronze was a touch brighter to pop a little more.
I made a couple of mockups to aid my decision.

Thanks man!

I actually like both and think they can both look good, so either way, you can't go wrong. In the end, it's personal preference. I was drawn to the Slip - less spokes and simplicity really did it for me. Plus, they always looked great on previous Fit models.

Agree about the color. Gold is a great classic combo (thanks Subaru!), and bronze just looks awesome. Gunmetal and blue looks fantastic as well.

Hahah nice! I did a lot of this wheel mockup stuff too. I saw some in Asia on both wheels, and again, they both look nice. I still think I might lean towards bronze (maybe I'm biased). I had white wheels before and cleaning them is a ton of work. I clean often, but white was a special case. That being said, that shouldn't turn you away if you like the color a lot.

It's is tricky because wheels often look different in every photo. Look around online and see how the white, bronze or gold look in different photos. I don't want to spam this thread with my car too much, but if you check my thread, you'll notice that in some photos the wheels are quite dark and in others, fairly bright when hit by more light.



Just as an example - I find that this is a good medium - still, they can look darker, but also a lot brighter than this. Anyway, maybe I'm rambling too much, but this was important to me prior to making a decision.

I have a feeling that for you, the install would be easy.

My EBC USR slotted rotors were delivered today!
I've had the EBC Green Stuff pads for a while now (got them from this forum for a great deal), but was waiting until I got new rotors to install them.

Looks like I will be doing a brake job tomorrow morning.

Nice!! A bit pricey, but no projector installed and its focused like that??? If thats the case, it may be worth the money!

It certainly does show the difference between properly engineered bulbs and the $45 crappy Chinese ones from eBay or Amazon.

In my experience, it's the outer front lens that has the biggest impact on light output. I'll dig up some pics I took to prove this.

I don't have experience with projectors in the GK headlights, so I can't comment, but I would guess that it would be a sharper and definitely wider beam.

I've had both white and bronze on my World Rally Blue WRX. White definitely pops more. The bronze looks OK in the sun, but on a overcast day they just seem blah.

More info on: Fit Fans Forum - Entrar
What is a "GK Case"? I know what a fuse is, but what is a "positive" fuse? The automotive fuse shown in the photo - I don't think this kind of fuse has any polarity; current can flow through it in either direction. Also, what does IGP-FI mean?

It looks like you have a 7.5 amp fused placed at right angles to all the other fuses in the middle row of fuses, in Fuse Box A in the engine compartment. In my fuse box A I don't see any way to put a fuse in that way, at that spot. It looks like you have some kind of black plastic thing sitting on top of the fuse, and a red wire coming out of the black plastic thing. I can't see the other end of the wire. Does the wire go to one of the terminals on a relay? What is the black plastic thing? Which of the 2 relay circuits is the 7.5 amp fuse in series with, the input circuit or the output circuit? Is there another fuse in the other circuit?

I know how relays work, and fuses, and I can read schematics, but I can't figure out what's going on here.

Nice man! I'll have to check the details when I get some time, but definitely need to add this to the to-do list.
