i filled them all in one go, so i'm going to let them cure for at least a week... maybe more...

It's kind of like why was there so many 57 Chevy race cars on the drag strip but never any 58 models.. I don't think it is all that confusing.

Not confusing, it just doesnt make sense. I do know, however, that it is harder to find race quality parts for the GE than it is for the GD. I was thinking about a GE at one point but decided against it due to the lack of performance upgrades available. And besides, im getting an 8th gen Si Sedan in the spring sooooo...Fit race parts are null for me at this point. gonna do a FD2 conversion...WOOT!

if your car was black or white i would suggest doing it in Type-R red...that would be sexy...otherwise...hmmm...i personally dont like suede bc it shows every where its been touched cuz of the texture, but i feel there is an exception in my opinion coming on. i would probably go with...for the silver car...black suede and it would be cool if you could incorporate some red stitching somehow...on the silver red might be too...bold...but thats just me...

i agree with the red being too bold. it is a lot of space on the door inserts and red might be over whelming.

Well this may break some hearts, but I went to a dealer and signed papers on a new car for me. Which means the fit will be traded in. Sorry guys. Tomorrow I get to strip all my goodies off her with tears of joy. Stay watching for sale section for the full part out of all aftermarket parts.

One of my co-workers strolled in with a hundai volkster or something like that..I must say that thing looks sweet...He traded in his 09 fit for it. Good deal
