Hey yall,
I am going to be doing some custom paint jobs on small accent things to my GD3 and I am wondering what color to use? My fit is Black and i really like the blue of my interior lights (as you all would know) and my seats have the blue cut out parts too.... butttt I dont know if I want to do blue everywhere else too?

I was thinking Black/Purple? haha maybe even Black/Green?
What do you guys think would be awesome?

 

Hey 'T' when it comes to colors, you should go with your gut feeling. In the end it should be what makes you happy. Believe me, with or without help choosing a color someone will quickly tell you that you should have gone with "whatever" color it is they like... Trust me on this one.

 

Haha thanks "Vin"! Yea I know people will "hate" at some point. My brother already laughed at my baby and I knocked him in the go-nads! Haha!

I had a stroke of genious last night about sticking with blue, doing that interior color the same but using more of a baby blue on the outside for accent stuff. I may be doing that!

Is CF a color? If so, I like your color scheme!

 

T- there are some carbon fiber dash & inner trim kits available in blue, blue/black & light blue. I did this one in blue/black on my dash

ah thanks! this is great! yea Im going to go with blue in places... i may do the Red honda logo eventually to match a couple of Crimson Tide things i use to rep school pride!

 

wait just noticed thats for a GE8... ill have to find something for my GD3.

@Vin, where do you get your CF vinyl? and do they make other types and colors?

 

DON'T PAINT YOUR INTERIOR! that's my suggestion.

 

If you're going to do something, use the stick on panels so you can remove it later if/when you get tired of it or sell the car.

Aunt Shelly probably does not want blue painted interior when she's looking to buy a used Fit from a private party.

It's your car though, so do what you want, but that's my suggestions too.

 

That was the link for my 2010-- they also make for the GD- here is 2008

sooznd, that's an excellent idea for the trim and the price is in reason as well. I dont know if TZMe wants to go down the road of the vinyl just yet. Of course I'm not sure
I painted all of my trim pieces tho. 1) I don't think I'll sell my car, 2) I bought all the trim pieces gauges, door handles separate so If did sell I could easily go back to oem.

I am happy with my carbon fiber trim-since it is real carbon fiber, not imitation CF like the pieces Honda sells. Wish their videos showed more than the burl wood dashes.

 

haha yea the wood stuff is meh, i do like the CF on there now looking at it! got blue too haha! yessssssssss

 

Yeah, I really like yours a lot!

Wood is Good too! But, yeah this should fit right in with your scheme..

 

haha i better watch out, i will get the CF bug like Vin

 

I like that Remin base kit. Tempted to get that for my wife for Christmas...Hmmm? I'd get it in real carbon fiber.

 

Yup, its like the flu..some get it, some hardly ever get it and some never. But if you do get it, it can be very contagious...I call it Carbonitis Fiberitis

Nuthin' like being Santa for the wifey. Especially when it's a gift that blows her away.

 

just leave it black.

 

Would someone with blue trim post pictures? I'm thinking of getting some to accent the inside of my black '12 Sport. I'm definitely into the black with blue accents theme, its more subdued and adult than a lot of other design/color schemes, but still gives the car an edgy vibe.
