Did you go front and rear for the Techna-Fit stainless steel brake lines? I'll probably do rotors/pads/lines at the same time when the pads need replacing. I'm at 56k miles but since it's mostly highway driving the pads have tons of life on them haha

Yep! Techna-Fit brake lines at all four corners.



My original brake pads had about 85% of their life remaining, but I couldn't stand their (abysmal) performance.

As a result of their (abysmal) performance, they have found their new home inside of a dumpster after ~17,000 miles.

Yes the side mirrors are only for the jdm sized mirrors, I picked up a set last month in Japan and ordered the Spoon super blues, waiting on my paint matched outer mirror cover to come in from Thailand. Love everything you have done with the GK!

I sure wish that would have been mentioned on Spoon's website. Of course, I wouldn't have purchased the mirrors if I had known they wouldn't fit.

Thanks for the kind words! I like what you did with your brake drums! Looks much better!

Took some pictures while it was raining today!



I love the PERRIN 2" antenna mast! In my opinion, it provides a much cleaner look over the OEM antenna mast.



3M Crystalline window film produces some interesting colors when your windows are wet!

I didn't realize PERRIN had an antenna that fit, so I went with Cusco. I have a PERRIN one on my 86 and it looks great (like it does on your Fit). It's so nice and subtle over the stock long RC-car-look.

Thanks for the kind words!

Actually, the PERRIN antenna mast I am using is advertised for the FR-S/BRZ, but it works with our cars as well.

It's pretty neat stuff! I found this in their brochure:

"The Crystalline Series features a proprietary, multilayer optical film nano-technology that combines over 200 layers in a film that is thinner than a Post-it® Note."

By any chance, do you have a build thread?

Haven't started one yet.

But I'm going with the sprintex unit to get a little more kick out of the motor.
