I'm jealous. I want. I've always hated how that was a lighter color...sticks out too much being silver. Yours blends perfectly.

Dude, go body color. The white Krylon for plastic is a dead on match for the white fits.

Not sure if I like the white or not... I feel like it stands out too much but on the other hand it fits better than the silvery stock color.

Yeah. I was a bit iffy on the white at first as well, but then I figured I can always paint it black if I didn't like it. That silver though... grey is ok, silver is ok trying to make plastic looked like brushed aluminium? Not going to happen. When I get some more time all the silver trim (and grey door handles) will be done in white as well. The eventual plan is to have anything that isn't a light either black or white.

I think I may try to do mine a dark, flat grey.

You can always get a can of Taffy white at auto parts store too. I must check the Krylon though as I have some here.

I will not paint mine as I have this

Nice choice. Wheel/tire combo upgrade definitely changes the character of a car. Now some spinner locks so your new shoes don't walk away... without the car...

Tints today. Here are a few pics!

32% all the way around. Legal limit in GA. I think they came out pretty nice. The Fit looks sharper tinted.

Clazzio's next week!

Today, my Fit and I got pulled over for speeding. The officer said I was going 40 in a 25 (or is it 20?). Honestly, I thought I was "only" going 35... but what am i gonna do, argue with a cop (about how much over I was going)? Meh. The two people I mentioned it to, say I was lucky I got off with a warning... and yes, I was lucky... but I still hate getting pulled over, especially with these bozo customers bitching about me "taking too long" to deliver their food!!!

About the tints... while I do agree tthe Fit does look good with tints and it has many practical uses (privacy, shade, etc)... it is a bit of a pain in the ass at night around here. With 35% all around, it's hard to see much of anything with the streets already dark with no street lights.

A lot of the time when I had to deliver newspapers I had to roll down the windows to see addresses... I also had a 500,000 candle power light....
