I don't know much about racing except that involves crashing a lot, so I would highly suggest you swap out your very valuable (on the secondary market) headlights for stock!

Conversely if you haven't crashed at least once you haven't found your limit.

You decided to stay. I almost decided to part ways with mine last week and even started typing up a part out sale and pick up a FD2R Civic, but the more I thought about it, dropping $32000 on the Civic, as nice as it is and as good as it performs on track, I could instead put that money into sticking a K into my GE8. As far as looks are concerned, for me the GE in short-nose guise looks mean, especially with the front end I have on mine.

Anyways, this is your thread and it's nice to see you stay. Though if you once again say you are leaving, so am I from your return threads. :P hahaha

What swag?

I may order the bracing depending upon feedback, but that's not immediate.

One of the higher-ups at Hybrid Racing bought parts from me yesterday. I asked him about swap-ability of the Fit and why it hasn't happened yet. He said they're working on it diligently and will keep me mindful of any progress.

Love your retrofit! I wish I could get someone to do mine. I can do everything on a car, but I'm too scared to touch headlights.

Nice to see you're sticking around. One of the best looking GE's I've ever seen.

Also, you're only about a day or so away from getting your feedback, as long as everything goes to plan.

I got the red Mugen rear view mirror cover I like the way it looks. Redoing the steering wheel in leather?
