The Official Crystal Black Pearl Thread
Thanks! Can't wait till I know they won't be salting the roads again and I can put them back on.
Just wanted to say that I'm really impressed with all of your additions and mods!
All I've done is some steel wheel modification on our black, basic Fit which are almost done.. the car has been on blocks for three days and my wife is getting impatient as it's her car!
I'll post some pix when I get a chance.

Update
Redid the wheels, three coats black spray paint and 3 coats clear coat, steel beauty rings and black lug nuts.
Added black screen to grille opening to protect the AC compressor. see this DIY thread on it (click)
And I blacked out the "H" emblem while I was at it.
I really like the look of the base over the sport, has a more rounded look.

Are those the black ball lugs that are on eBay doane2u? I know you posted a thread regarding the lugs before. If so, I was curious about the quality of those things? Was thinking about picking them up, don't think I want to dump a bunch of money on S2000 CR lugnuts just for steel wheels ha

I have a set I bought from ebay, they're fine. Same as these I think - http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?n...d=271019397829
^Yeah those are the ones I was looking at. Have they faded or chipped at all since you've had them? I don't expect OEM quality but I do expect them not to chip. I do expect them to fade, even "good" brands fade.
Yep, those are the ones I bought and they look to be really well made with a very hard paint finish.. almost looks like epoxy. I think they will hold up fine.
Oops! I saw those, but the ones I bought were a 16 piece set for less money, see this link.

You would probably want to keep the power air wrench monkeys away from it though. 
See this video for an enlightening tutorial on basic air wrench usage.
