Dark blue, there's a picture of it on the last page.

I really like the white, it looks great with tinted windows and if you're into it, you can put the red JDM badges on it, and they look the best on white cars. Not so much on blue cars.

Why would you buy a white one if you didn't love it?

Your dark blue is great. Looks sharp.

No, I do love the white. They had all the colors available, and I chose the white. I was just second guessing myself for a few minutes on the ride home b/c I was on the fence between the black and the white.

Now that I'm home, I love it! I keep going outside to look at it. lol.

No tinting or anything for me. I will add an armrest in the next few weeks.
May do more add ons the more I read this forum. You guys give me too many ideas!

white is nice. i wanted white. i got white. it stays relatively clean, doesn't attract insects like yellow, stays cooler than dark colors... goes well with any color wheels or whatever.

Was planning to do the first half of the DIY steering controls install on my GE8 today but it's been rainy all weekend.

Also pedals. I wanted the Sport pedals, but the dealership I got them at gave me Mugen pedals instead while still only charging me for Sport. Not sure if I wanna do anything about it or not!

trying to figure out where to put my Spoon Crane stickers... found out that they are not the size of the rear bumper sticker, but the size of the ones that go on the fenders.

I've had a busy weekend so far with the Panda...

Yesterday, I got an alignment and swapped over my TPMS sensors from the OEM wheels to the SSR's

Went home and my new shift knob was delivered so I installed it:

Also got my car cover in, I will post a pic soon after I wash the car and install it.

-Went to the dealer today and got my ABS code read and will be ordering a new sensor, spotted this bad boy in the Scott Robinson Honda service lobby

Better safe than sorry, in Kansas there aren't as many modified cars but here in SoCal they are everywhere and it's better to not advertise your parts just so someone can run your plate and steal your stuff.

I've been reading this board for weeks and finally pulled the trigger.
Congrats! I'm in my 3rd week of ownership and really liking this car so far, I bought a Taffeta White as well

Dang I need to get another set of tpms sensors and put them in to.

But how much was it for them to read your abs code? I have one want it gone

Also anyone know how much the dealer charges for a broken rear stud.

Installed black PVC Clazzio seat covers. I'm tired and sore but I like the end results (although a few areas look a little wrinkled and I'll try to work that out).

Dealer was kind enough to not charge me to pull the ABS sensor code

I wouldn't go to the dealer for a broken stud, just try to ask around for a Honda specialist in your area instead

Normally it's around $50 max to run the code, you could also just ask around and not go to the dealer but the shop will need to have an ABS diagnostic tool which is different from the OBDII code reader:

I did some searching on my350z since there is no Chicago/Illinois regional forum here on FF and found the following places that people have used in the past which are Japanese car specialists:

Project X Customs | About Us

https://www.facebook.com/pages/GRD-P...CE/47060302299

If either of those are too far away I would check with Yelp or I can ask around from some people I know who live in Illinois

Have the same shift knob too, definitely adds a nice touch to the car

got oil changed and tried to get the recall done. I say tried because they spent 2+ hours on my car only to tell me they dont know what's going on other than my car is telling them there's a code, but they couldn't pull out any codes. I feel as if not only am I getting more and more attached to my Fit but my Fit is turning more and more into me by pulling this on the dealership
