You could just change your bulbs cause there's no "orange"/amber refelctor that I can remember.

BASTARD! You have my rims! You are about the only other person I have seen out there with my exact rims. They are on my accord but I was gonna move them to my 08 SSM fit. Looks SO nice it even makes the GE look better.

They are the best rims ever, make every car look good, they are forged, so the are strong, and they are 14lbs for 17x7
Too bad they have been discontinued for a few years, Great all around rims

And thats the first photo I have seen that makes me say the GE looks Good. I wasn't a fan of the GE, but the silver with gunmetal is perfect, and if I saw a white GE8 with the flat black LT5, that would look sick too. It makes me want to swap my rims to the fit and get like rota subzeros in gunmetal with polished lip in 18. Seriously the LT5 make every car look good/more aggressive. I even have seen gunmetal mini cooper with lt5 in gunmetal.

Hey Nick..... why don't you just change out the rear tails for the JDM LED ones... that will get rid of the reflector on the rear lights

Do the JDM LED tails fit the USDM rear end?

I think when I finally get my Fit, I am going to get flat bronze wheels, paint my grill blue sensation to match the car, and paint the emblem flat bronze to match the wheels... kinda like this:
