Yeah those seat covers look amazing. At 600 dollars USD though its hard to justify. Then again maybe its because I've spent a shit ton of money on practically everything else.

thanks, they're surprisingly good quality in both fit and finish (they're pvc and dont feel like plastic, but feel better than the cloth). just looked up my receipt and they were only 364$. not too bad. worth it, imo

Nooo, I meant, that's what they're posted at online.

I was confused where the other guy got the $600 figure.

Why would you want to roll and cut up a new car? I don't get it. Aren't you concerned with trade in value? Mods and whatnot are cool but permanently modding your body to me is stupid. Dealer sees this and there goes the trade value and any chance of selling the car, rubbing is damage !!

Our next sale is for the holidays. Soon. I'll post up when this happens. The 600 buy the way is for leather kit.

I prefer to mod my cars OEM+ style. To the casual onlooker, they probably wouldn't even notice i did anything. IMO, everything is pretty subtle and cleanly executed. But i digress, to me, the Fit is a cheap econobox beater. There isn't much further down it can depreciate to. Again, personal opinion.

Also, i further broke my car:

Looks good, retrofitting my headlights is probably the best thing I've done to my cars so far.

Finally had some free time to do some minor work on the Fit. Installed the Progress RSB (review here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...-sway-bar.html):



Did the DIY Home Depot seat spacer mod to adjust the seat angle (review here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...ml#post1345318):

Was testing a new camera today shooting my friend's BRZ. Got one group shot in beforehand:

Been busy, but finally had some free time to work on the car a little. My neighbor works at a body shop and he taught me howto prep, paint, and install the lip kit myself. It's not perfect, but it came out pretty damn good considering i spent half of what the body shops in the area were quoting me.

Also upgraded my camera gear and moved up to some full frame toys. A few sample shots trying out my new a7r ii with Zeiss Batis 85mm and Zeiss Loxia 35mm.

Nothing fancy, just a couple shots sitting in my driveway after work. Also a closeup of my retrofit since a lot of people ask but i never had any good shots of them:

Looks good. How is the cutoff on the retrofit headlights? Any profile and rear pics?
