I'm loving you didn't put comas in the mods you bought, and then you did in your wishlist lmao. I seriously read that line as one whole mod lawlz
But good start off man!
One thing I don't agree with is the HID kit....Wannabe HID kit in halogen housings is a no go.

LoLz, you is clazy mang
On the to do future list, the Fit is one car where I dont see the value of rear discs.
It is very light and 62-63%(depending on tranny) of the weight is on the front wheels, which probably transfers another 10-20% to the front under hard braking.
Id go light weight wheels instead of

I like to have it look the same front and rear, and I'm not down with drums they just don't do it for me. I like jacking up the rear E-Brake spring rate so one click is a slide
And yes i could have done all this in one post but wheres the fun in that

Ok Pics Up 56K Take a nap...
Yeah i forgot about daylight savings and the season change
PICS!!!
Before the Install. I tried to take off front bumper but then decided not to half way through.
After the install
Driver side Ballast. I tried to hide it but everywhere i wanted to either the wires were visible or too short so i made do until i change it later.
Passenger side Ballast is almost completely hidden behind the washer reservoir
A better view of Passenger side
Driver side wire harness. I changed my mind from front bumper to wiper cowl it was much easier and a lot cleaner and the wipers don't bind or rub the harness.
Passenger wire harness
HID lows in day 2 shots
HID Lows Night with flash. (camera would not take a good no flash pic)
Driver side Headlight Housing up close front and top view. yes shes dirty
Lows at night in car - Distance shot -
Highs at night in car - Distance Shot -

Please lower your headlights now as your going to get flashed left, right and center, you can see that there is next to no cut-off. Takes 2 mins to lower you lights a tad and you will maybe not see as far down the road but peoplr driving towards you will be able to see and possibily not smash into your car cause you are blinding them at your fault to which your insurance would not cover you.
or
Leave it if you dont care about other drivers.

I thought I would get the red H on my steering wheel but now that I see pics of it (no offense) but it looks a bit tacky or vulgar... just the bright red against the sea of gray plastic of the rest of the interior. Perhaps it looks better in person. Key fob looks cool though!
