I'd much rather take weight off the front of the car first so you can get closer to 50/50 distribution. It is a FWD.

I wonder how the black headlights would look on my Milano Red Fit.

gotta take the front bumper off, it's real easy to do and takes less then a hour to do everything to take the bumper off and swap on new headlights, i've done it a few time with mine while working on a retro-fit HID project.

Yes, i'm an Assistant parts manager for the local honda dealer, so the rewards are great, 10% over dealer cost is what i pay for parts.

I think thats cool, but I just didnt want my headlights off for, who knows how long, before I had them ready again. I also didnt want to screw anything up and then have no headlights...

I will be purchasing the black oem headlights with in a month. I will be installing them on a VBP fit sport. I am looking forward to getting these because I think it will bring out the front some. Right now I think there is just to much blue. I also plan on a CF hood, spoiler, and front grill. I just have to decide on the style hood and spoiler. Thinking of going oem on the hood and a spoon style spoiler from seibon. Also will be getting some rota slipstreams in flat black 15's or 16's not sure yet. Will be getting all of this stuff very soon. I will post pics as soon as I install everything.

That would be the exact same thing I'd do if I had a VBP fit. That would look badass!

I'm a big fan of black wheels and I figured the black headlights and some carbon fiber parts will add a nice touch. Especially on the VBP fit. Can't wait to get these parts

Talking

thought the kenstyle front lip was only made for the jdm model FITS? do they sell it for the USDM one to now?
really nice but wish people just make urethane lips man and urethane bodykits fiberglass and abs carbon fiber all cheap shit all break once you go urethane you get less the stress and forget the pain of broken cracked lips and bodykits.

I was also looking at getting black headlights for my orange Fit to go with black LED Altezza tail lights. I think it'll look sweet with both head lights and tail lights with black housing. But both of those will have to wait until after I get my windows tinted...

I did this myself already to repair my Halos... they don't melt that easily if you keep it at 160~180F, don't go too high, some people say 200, I go lower, that way if I forget, there is no damage done =

How would you forget that your headlights are in the oven?
