Ordered all the necessary parts for the double din head unit install as well as OEM honda Visors and the K&N filter, which came in yesterday. Haven't had time to install any of it yet though. Let me know what you think so far.

Not really to my liking. It lacks contrast or accent. Imo.

But I see you really like black.

That’s about as evil as you can make a Fit look. I like it.

Looks sweet. Mind me asking where you got the rack from and how much you paid ? Looking into getting one myself. Thanks.

I love how the racks look on our cars, but I have absolutely no use for them

Thanks guys for all the kind words. Mean is the look I was hoping for. It's been described as bat mobileish, which works too. Dropping it is the next priority. Looking at the T1Rs or the Eibach pro kit. Any suggestions?

I see the consensus on the center caps around here it to remove them. The wheel/tire shop slapped them on when I had the wheels installed because they were in the boxes. I have been mulling over the decision to take them off but haven't gotten around to it.

MLL20, some of the rack was left over from my Yaris when I traded it in. I had to purchase new landing, towers and a new fairing. Definitely shop around for the pieces. I ended up purchasing the 48" crossbars on eBay, the fairing locally (because it was in line with online pricing) and the control towers and landing pads from rackattack.com. They had a 20% off Yakima products and free shipping. I have bikes but the racks main purpose is transporting material for home renovation projects (2x4's, doors, trim, etc.). Very versatile and I would recommend one in a heart beat.

yah, definitely remove those center caps (or atleast paint them black), and then put a light tint over "YAKIMA" so that it's not so frikken white.

then lower the ride.

what's so great about taking off the center caps?

is it all because of his "evil" theme. it looks great with them on.

it's really a preference thing, but to me, tuner wheels look best without center caps. center caps have that bubbly appearance and just ruins the line of the wheel at the hub.

if the rusty hubs bother you, you can do wat i do and just use some engine enamel matte black paint to clean it up.
