I painted both the headlight housings in the Z and the Fit. The Z I went all black with white on the projector shroud.
#23
how hard was it to open up the headlight housing on the fit? im planning to do a projector retro and was wondering if you had any tips on opening it.

ive seen people open up headlights befor. not exact instructions but basically you put ur headlights in the oven for a specific time and take them out. the heat from the oven makes the glue/sealant to come off. then you paint what you desire to be painted then you re seal them with new sealant. anyone have a DIY link?

You can bake it, I prefer the heat gun method. Just slowly heat and pry, continue to heat and pry. Until the assembly is complete. Then heat and glue back together. I aslo add clear waterproof sealent all around to make sure they do not fog up or get moisture inside. It took me about 5 hours total to do the fit. Having never done it before

The tails are a direct swap...just make sure you get harnesses and bulbs. The clips plug in but youmwill need to create slack either by undoing some pins further down in the body or you can tap and lengthen. I releases clips further down and stretched. Passenger side is hardest.
And yes HKS exhaust..I love it!

yeah i was asking about how much each wheel weighs, i know the sport alloys are 17lbs, but i havent been able to find a weight for the "option" wheels
if your talking about my "optional wheels" i believe they weigh the same if not lighter than stock sport wheels. offset and width is the same.

Hey the HKS didn't come with a silencer but honestly it doesn't need it. I plan on getting a t1r b pipe eventually. Evasivemotorsports.com has them for $295 shipped I believe...beast mode! And assaultech.com has them for $290...good deal Considering I got mine for $375.
