The ones on the gramlights are real. Thats why theyre $$ the Konigs and Ti brand are not.

 

Ahh, I never checked the price of the konigs, I figured if they were real it'd probably reflect in the price. How do they do that finish then, paint?

 

Their dead pedal rocks. Nothing cheap about it.

Maybe they should make one with a finish that matches up with the Mugen pedal set -- and charge a Mugen price for it -- then you'd think they weren't cheap.

 

HEYYYY!!! comon now =P

 

gotta love all the hate.

 

can i also all...
all the crap you can get at:
pepboys, autozone, and the kiosks in the mall.

all they sell is ricey crap.

(i bought my LED strips for the footwell lighting from pepboys )

 

I think I'll throw Tourenn into the mix. Their CF engine cover, which used to only cost just a touch over $200 now costs $400. Not sure how that's justified... maybe there's a good reason, but damn. Thumbs down on that.

got nothing to add, just wanted to subscribe to the thread. heh.

 

I bet the Grams are rich looking in person... The Konigs look cheap to me.

 

i saw a white z with huge lips on it's white wheels,
it had the rainbow stuff on the edge of the lip
it looked pretty good i thought..

 

you can tell the difference between real Burnt Ti lips and immitations.
its looks extremely fake when you see in in person.

the burnt Ti is darker, like a SBC (super bright coat) or a hyper silver while the immitation is like chrome w/ some rainbow coloring.

it looks AWESOME in person. i see it on a s14 w/ s15 front that i see going to work (i think he works at Greddy).

 

mugen, spoon, aj ... all those high dollar companies... stupid supply and demand.

just kidding, but seriously

 

f*^k progress and their weight enhancer rear sway bar!

 

Just a thought, but how about a thread for quality, top shelf companies. Dislike by omission??????

 

Every time I get in my Fit and drive it makes me wonder why in hell I sold my Lexus for this cheap econobox car. That is until I hit the gas station and I'm real happy again for a few days. Then I'll see my wife take off with it instead of the Pilot (aka 18 to 22 mpg) and Im even happier. It’s such a love hate relationship for me. Half the time I friggen love the thing and the other half I hate it. Kinda wired, figure Ill develop dual personalities due to it. So add The “Honda Fit” into my hate list at least 50% of the time. I figure it will go back up to 100% when I get myself a garage queen sports car, then Ill just friggen love the thing as my work & drive car.

 

you get what you pay for!!....

 

How could the Fit be your 12th Honda and you don't like it? I mean, from my own experience and pretty much a lot of others the Fit is more true to what a Honda is all about than anything else. Fun to drive, efficient, extremely good handling all while being cheap and reliable as a wood burning stove.

OH and back on topic, INJEN! p*ss on their intake and it's knocking your fog light out fitment.

 

It’s all relative. In fact, the Fit is a fun car and handles well for a sub $20K car but that’s about it. You start heading north of $20K and the Fit is pretty easily trumped in all statistics pretty fast. I've noticed a lot of people forget that around here. The fit is probably the best car in its class no doubt about it.

But then you quoted me wrong, I said I have a love hate relationship with it, not "I dont like it".

 

I hear you man. I love my Fit, but it sucks realizing your car is slower than most cars out there (unless you go FI, which easily puts you in $20k+ range all-in), and I'm getting passed up by Camrys, minivans, and non-turbo Subarus that I used to laugh at. I'll watch an episode of Best Motoring or Top Gear and start to get "the itch", or go to a local meet to check out the Evos, STIs, etc. and wonder why I went from 300hp to 109. But like you, the total cost of ownership is a fraction of what it was, and what I'm sure it was for you with the IS (and the rest of your list... nice collection of cars you went through!). I feel like smacking my forehead sometimes thinking about the minor modding I'm doing to this car. It's nothing crazy, but it's far from the turbo swaps I was doing just a year ago.

MUGEN 3 thumbs down...
