They are, rereading it I worded it weird. My winter wheels where my 16" Volks that where on my Fit. Those wheels dint clear the brembo calipers so I needed a spacer for the fronts. I got another set of spacers for the rears when I changed back to my summer BBS wheels

Long time no post. Not much has changed on the car other then maybe the joyfast gold side mirrors(no current pics) to help cut down on glair from the cars behind me. The car is going through another winter and oh boy is this winter much harder. I think I heard we hit s reconfigure s bow fall here in Minnesota for February. Luckily the sloppiest and worst days I wasn’t working and dint have to leave the house. Still would like to do some mods like rollbar, full exhaust and a tune, but they may need to wait a bit longer..

Picked up a strut around, battery tie down and oil dipstick handle. Then had them all powder coated purple to add a little color under the hood. Really like the way it looks

Added a new spoiler to the car today. I love how it looks, It's a bit more aggressive then the OEM one but also subtle enough that I don't think most people will really even notice it's not OEM plus the carbon fiber I think matches well with the rest of the black accents on the car

I haven't updated in a while. We will start with the sad. Early December I had my first accident. Luckily it was pretty minor though. I was making a left-hand turn on a green arrow and a guy come in the opposite way made a right on a red without even stopping. He ended up sideswiping my passenger door.

luckily the dudes insurance took full responsibility for it and covered everything. I dint even need to pay my deductible. Another lesson is to check your dashcam regularly. Because the one time I I could have absolutely used that footage my cameras storage was full and not recording or saving video any longer. So now I'm in a habit of once a month clearing everything out and checking everything.

Now under something a bit more fun. I added a little more color into the interior with a purple tach ring. I was a little bit of worried install I get because I had to take some of the dash apart and the gauge cluster. The gauge cluster was actually the easy part. Getting the dash separated and then back together it was a real pain and took me so much time.
