Well, I have on there fogs too, they are tinted and I just blacked everything out on the lower grill, so it looks uniform. I also painted the inside of the bumper opening, so it all blends together, I think it looks really clean that way.

Haha, yeah i was running out of sunlight on the shoot, hard to get gloss black wheels right in that light. They are 15x6.5 +38 Konig Feather, only weigh 11.9 lbs.

Thanks! Yeah, I agree - the car and background kinda blend together. It was kind of a spur of the moment idea and I ended up just finding a place close to where I live. I will shoot a little earlier in the day next time too.

Took some more pics yesterday, went with a more natural background and it makes the Fit pop more. Let me know what you think of the new pics. Some were too big for imageshack to upload, I will try to get those on here later.

My favorite:

Hey, just a question. Any reason why you went with the JDM clear 3rd brake light over the JDM red 3rd brake light?

Not really, just liked the clear better personally.

Thanks man! Yeah baking my headlights was pretty unnerving, but actually very simple once you get past the fear. The results are definitely worth it and much better than paying $300+ for black OEM's. It's been 18 months or so and no condensation on the inside or anything. They continue to look good.

Yeah, I bent the tabs up front and rolled the rear fenders, cut out part of the plastic edge on the rear bumper and then shaved the bumper mounts in the rears. I have 2 zipties run thru holes on each side that hold the rear bumper at the fenders. No big deal, I have already installed my LED tails, so I don't figure I will be taking the rear bumper off very often.

An update from this weekend. I hit a box on the interstate that ended up tearing off my front lip..... The box basically knocked one side loose and then pulled its self under the car and then right off...Going to get a new one and get it painted asap, so that my Devil Egg will be back to 100%. This next time I am going to use some more heavy duty hardware when installing - I dont think the rivets supplied w/ the lip (to secure on the middle/underside of the lip) fully expanded to have a good hold on the bumper. Otherwise the lip would probably be salvageable.
