Very very nice. I've been waiting to see your seats and the wait was worth it; those look so comfy I want to fall asleep in them! Wheels look great; everything looks really well done. Thanks for posting.
|
Your car looks great. How bad is the glare with the HIDs?
|
Thanks for the complements. the Clazzios are much higher quality than i expected. very comfortable and more than i could have wished for.
the glare is pretty bad. i aimed them way down so i won't blind people as badly.. but i still get high-beamed by oncoming traffic. i have a morimoto retrofit kit i need to get around to installing some more pics from this past weekend: https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8808/1...65f4ecc2_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8822/1...e0f7afae_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8891/1...f524da8f_z.jpg |
where/who did you order the bbs cs4's through? (I want to order them for my black EX..) I went on tirerack and it says they aren't available for the Fit..:confused:
love what you've done to yours! Also, will the ET30 ones not clear?? |
There's a reason why they're not offered for the car: they don't fit.
Lots of work was done to make them fit. Front fenders rolled and pulled 1/2", front fender liners cut, rear fenders rolled, rear fender liners cut. I still rub a little when i hit a bump and my wheel is turned. https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/456/18...a31032fa_z.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3690/1...73a70e8e_z.jpg |

You HID's must be 6000k. There isn't much light. I had 6000K in my 08 Accord coupe for a month. I was at a light when a 03 BMW 330 Coupe pulled up next to me. Stock 4100k put my 6000k to complete shame as if my DRL were on. I then decided to go with 5000k to give me a close to stock look with a touch more white. I think my next kit will be 55watts vs. the normal 35. The FIT's head light lenses don't seem to "scatter" the light like clusters years past. But i digress...
Other than not a fan of the "slammed" look, you have a very nice car. You reminded me to order my Clazzio tonight ;-). Enjoy the car bro. |
