Mildy modded Taffeta FIT w/pics

Well...I bought my FIT just a little over a month ago, and here's what I've done so far:

*Tanabe DF210 springs
*Tanabe Concept G exhaust
*Tinted windows 20% all the way around
*Tenzo 17x7 Shu 4 wheels +42mm offset/205-40-17 Falken 452 tires
(So far, I am having "no" rubbing issues to speak of. But, no one has sat in the back just yet, so I'll have to wait and see if there's going to be a problem?)
*Also, I was able to find these wheels at a really good price, so I bought em'. But, these are not my wheels of choice, and I do plan on finding something else to fit my needs hopefully soon. I've been looking and looking and I can't find anything that really stands out from the rest! I am leaning more towards the Advan RGII's, but still un-decided. More to come soon...so on with the pics:













*Next mod-I should have the Pioneer AVIC D3 installed with the Scosche kit next week. Just changing out the head unit for right now, and then upgrading a little at a time with the rest of the car audio.

I'm an early riser....haha, I wish I could sleep in!

I would love to hit up any local meets, keep me posted as to when one is coming up! As far as the Scosche kit, I don't actually have one(and I've heard all the drama that's going on with them), but I was told by my stereo shop that Scosche would have one sent out to them on monday? I was there when they actually placed the call with Scosche, and when they got off the phone, my guy told me on Monday it'll be there. Now, whether or not that happens, who knows, I guess I'll have to wait and see? I'll definitely post pics if I get everything installed. Install won't be untill thurs though.

Looks great!!! Shu4's are becoming rare wheels, havent seen pictures of them in a while. Such a classy looking wheel. My friend had a set on his DelSol about 6years ago! Hahaa!

Car looks great.

17's still look a little small for my taste, but they work well with this car!

I also ordered the JDM window visors(and just a few other things) the other day, and should be getting them any day now. I found a good deal on this website if anyone else wants some.

JDM Fit GD3 Windows Visors Set (4-PCS)

I'm hoping that my stereo shop was able to get the "Scosche" kit for the install? I'll find out today hopefully whether or not they got it? The "Metra" kit is available for the FIT, but most people are waiting for the "Scosche".

I think that most people were saying that they like the quality,fit, and looks of the Scosche kit as opposed to the Metra. Look in the FIT ICE forum...I think there's some comparisons there?

Really nice Fit! There is a Taffeta Sport on the lot of Lester Raines Honda (South Charleston, WV) - and while I know how much it takes to keep them clean - it is a really nice looking car! Lovin the rims!
