Excellector's GK5 Progress

Working on simple stuff right now. Once tax season hits, I'll be able to knock out some major mods.

The result of marine paint for tire lettering was, unfortunately, underwhelming. While the back tires have not yellowed, nor flaked, the paint on the front can't seem to take the heat of braking. Going to look into some other options.

This one was snapped last night.

Perhaps I missed it, but what have you done to this beautiful blue Fit?

Nothing outstanding just yet. I've got the ivtech stickers thrown on the sides, tire paint, the underglow, and I've swapped the rotors for some slotted ones with Greenstuff pads.

Next is probably some lowering springs and new headlights. But what I can't seem to find for the life of me are some USDM body kits.

Do any of these exist?

For those interested, the black finish on these rotors was pointless, came off within a day. However, having broken them in, there is a substantial difference in stopping ability.
