Traded Red for White

White wasn't available when I needed a replacement car after the wreck. I decided I ultimately like the Fit and paying ~$13k additional for a Tacoma wasn't too wise of me since I don't carry much. Therefore, I pick up my 2012 White Fit Sport 5MT this evening. It may not make the most financial sense but it's cheaper than raising a kid, I can still swing going to get my master's, and it makes me happy with the car again.

That makes my total tenure with Hondas:

2008 Silver Element SC
2010 Fit Sport 5AT (White)
2012 Fit Sport 5MT (White, totaled)
2012 Fit Sport 5MT (Red)
2012 Fit Sport 5MT (White)

OUCH sucks that you parted out your mods! I guess you get a completely clean slate to work with now. Welcome BACK to the TW club.

I still have a huge pile of parts waiting to go on, plus I'm keeping my PF01s.

Glad you got what you wanted though. I think it's safe to say the projectors didn't get sold huh?

Man, you're like a Honda sales statistic. Thanks for helping out with the numbers these past few months!

Glad you are keeping the Fit again.

They did sell. Already arrived to their new owner.

I've already got another pair built, this time with "horseshoe" LEDs. No red though.

Good to see you got out of the red. I hate that color.

Question

Welcome back, again.... again... again...

Gotta see what you do with the retrofit this time.
Are you going for similar mods? HFP styling?

Reading the crzforums I see threads for totalled CR-Z's quite frequently. You shouldn't have much problem finding one sooner or later.

Like Fitstir said, these things are getting hit or totaled left and right. Let me know if you want me to post a request thread even though, knowing you, you'll probably just buy one from the dealer or Bernardi

I have to laugh at this, but glad to see you back in a fit. Taffeta > milano.

I pm'd you a while back about the sealant. Get back at me!

Damn right. I also have those stickers available FS. It has the actual "1-2-3-4-5-R" instead of stars and no logos.

If you could that would be great. No need to go new here since I already have the rear calipers from an S2000.
