My daily beater...

here she is in her daily beaten glory

wheels are a-tech final speed erasers, some japanese rims (see link below)
http://www.marukanet.co.jp/a-tech/index.html

wheel specs 38 offset, 15x6.5
they look very similar to weds sport sa90s (some people have said that they are the same wheel like how regas are same as spoons)and somewhat similar to gramlights.

Very nice!! I've been asking someone to photoshop me a CF hood and spoiler onto a white Fit, and, now I don't anymore. That sealed the deal for me. Carbon fiber will be sitting on the hood of my soon-to-be Fit.

And, Very nice Fit by the way again.

Very nice geedee!! I like the rims and the blue lugnuts, but don't you need wheel locks where you live?

cbrjeeper, just remember that the resin used to make carbonfiber will turn yellow after a while (months, a year, maybe just a tad more?), even with reduced exposure to the sun. That's the one thing stopping me from getting carbonfiber exterior parts like hoods and spoilers Epoxy resin has this unwanted curing effect over time, and in the presense of UV. A UV blocking clear coat could possibly help, but it will yellow eventually. You can always paint over the part, it's not like the carbonfiber will have lost its effectviness, just the resin changed color.

Less than a year? That soon? Hmm......Do you, or, might anyone have a pic of carbon fiber that has yellowed? How yellow are we talking? My wife wants the carbon fiber, but, having a one car garage where my bike and yard equipment reside, and, no shaded parking spots at her work, it'll be in the sun from sun-up to sun-down. Please, pm me if ya have a link or pic. Thanks in advance!!

I live in Florida, and, the sun shines almost 365 days a year. So, CF probably is no good for me. Poo.
