43 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone i dont post that much often, but i try to frequent the forum, seems pretty dead around here for some reason. I bought from a friend a 07 gd3 fit in 5spd back in March of this year. He was the first owner and bought brand new i still have the dealer listing tag haha. I wanted to get a daily that was good on gas so i would have to drive my bmw around daily, that thing eats so much gas being tuned, v8 6spd and catless headers. As for the fit it turned out at first to be daily non modded car then my tires blew out and i just began modding and i just couldnt handle it being stock as i did the bmw. I went with the Type r/ spoon sports theme in a sense. Still collecting more parts and trying different things out, ive already been through 4 intake set ups and that will continue until i find what is right for me. So here is the list so far.

Why the Spoon Sports banner with so few Spoon parts? I'm reluctant to run even a small J's Racing sticker on my S2000 and I have much of the early J's catalog.

they dont make alot of those items anymore for the GD3 nice try, hence why i said im still searching for items., and i just stated i have the spoon knob and filter as well. |
made some more mods after finding stuff

Nice, tasteful mods, mangosmoody.

Did you paint the door cards or are you replacing the fabric? Updating the fabric in mine is on my list to do too. Any difficulties getting the arm rests out or back in?
And how bad is the light scatter with HIDs in the reflector headlights? Or did you do a projector retrofit? The wheels look good! Nice job Thanks |

Nice job Thanks the hids were ok actually no problem with them at all i aimed them though. I did get rid of them and went full led bulb much much better. As far as the door cards i used the duplicolor fabric paint. it works really good. i used it on my whole interior and panels. i would say if you are going to do that let the car air out for 24-48 hrs. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/wcs...4_pri_larg.jpg |
Nice! Which LEDs are you running? I'm looking in to trying the new Morimoto 2 Stroke LEDs in my fogs but am still doing research.
I haven't used the Duplicolor stuff yet. Does it make the fabric feel crusty or is it still somewhat soft? |

Hope this helps. |
what are those webbed fabric things on the leds? Are those the lights?

yes those are the led, the fabric is to help dissipate heat, they either have the fabric or a built in electric fan on other models. |
Nice transformation.

so update re doing the whole suspension going with H&R springs and tokico HTS shocks. the HTS came in today just waiting for the H&R to come in.
