Quit going to that kart track and save up for WSIR/SOW in June. 2 tracks for $100! Raceline USA Track Hopper!

 

Yes please. So wish I could do that track hopper...

SOW/WSIR every two months > Adam's every weekend

 

I'm not ready yet! I have to prep my car to show in June (Wekfest), then I need to save up for track brakes. I nearly melted mine at the "kart track" hah. They were smoking

Meanwhile, got a new part

 

Mugen rear?! Happy for yah! No more ding-- can't wait to see it on

 

I haven't updated you guys in a while! My Fit has changed quite a bit. I now have the Mugen rear, carbon fiber JDP lip, new mint powdercoat on my wheels, and I joined a second crew called the Stance Stories Syndicate (Local Origins is still my main crew <3)

Anyways, here's the pics!

137. Thank you to my boyfriend for helping me prep my car for Wekfest at 1am the night before


136. Slammed on stockies while the Konigs were being powdercoated


135. I love driving slow! This picture is a little out dated. My current MPG is more like 42.5


134. Mugen rear!


133. My brother and I are so opposite in our car choice haha

 

You car is looking real good! I do however miss the pink rims, those were badass. If you don't mind me asking, how much was your JDP lip?

 

I don't like pink as a color, though it did look good on my fit. But it's just not my style!

My lip was $275 picked up

 

I like the mint green better! It's a lot more subtle and chill. Mugen rear looks best when slammed like that. JDP too. Deng, haha. I'm jealous!

 

Haha exactly! Mint is way less attention; it's nice to not be stared at by EVERYONE on the freeway

 

Yee! Dunno 'bout everyone else but even though it doesn't seem as eye-catching, I can't help but take a second glance. It's a really nice color/look haha definitely unique

 

yes unique is what I strive for

 

You've already got your wheels painted twice.. about how much does it run you to powdercoat if you don't mind me asking?

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm digging the mint too. I was just surprised that the pink and SSM looked so good. It's also nice to see a girl tricking out her car too! Not much of that happening out here in Michigan.

 

$40 a wheel for the powdercoating, which isn't bad. It's the preparation that's costly becuase I have to have my tires removed at a shop, then put back on afterwards.

Haha, not too many out here in Cali either

 

Love ittt, it looks very Minty! ;]

which shop is that?? i got quoted 60-80 per wheel to get powdercoated in Chino hills

 

Advanced Finishing Systems in Riverside. they wanted to charge $50 a wheel but I talked them down. I definitely would not go there if I were you, though. The rims look fine in pictures, but up close the coat is thin in some areas and you can see pink. I don't think they sand blasted it like they were supposed to. I won't be going back

 

I love your car Panda. I would love to see more pictures with the mint green wheels. Very unique and cute!

 

Here's a few from last Saturday

142. I won "Best Female Ride" at the Geisha car show

 

MORE MINTY PICS!!!!!!!!! wow i paid 260 for my green powder
that broke down like this
sandblast - $60 cash
powder - $50 its a candy
labor - $150, included a chrome base and a candy coat, and a clear topcoat also included jb weld a fingernail sized nick on edge of one wheel, and scuff and cheese cloth

i didn't have any labor for mount and dismount cuz i work at a dealership

my guy says if the wheels are in good enough condition, he can just scuf and prep, and a single stage powder color = would be 130 -150 a set
so take these #'s to your guys down there and tell them to meet it of beat it
powder costs about $12 a pound, it takes less than two pounds for a set of 4 16"wheels, there s no reason they are charging more than i am paying!!!

 

I just posted more pics right above you! hah
