Gunmetal fog housings! :) and a few other things

Just painted my fog housings gunmetal and finally made my fogs yellow. I havent seen anyone with them yet, but alot of my inspiration for my fit has been from the ek hatches so i thought this would be a nice touch.

Its a little more agressive than i was expecting but im pretty pleased with them!

Also added a jdm coin try and new purple shift knob

hmm it looks okay but it may look nicer if you redo the inside of your headlights with that color also. By the way, that back shot looks like there is a license plate attached to your rear bumper??!

jsnatchdiggity,

Nice job on the mods. Contrary to the other nay-sayers, I rather like it. I'm wondering if you clear-coated your fogs? I painted mine flat black and now have LOTS of little light blue dots where it's been chipped by highway debris. You may have the same problem with a dark color under a lighter color. I'm not even sure clear coating would prevent that, but it couldn't hurt.

Thank you sir. I didnt clear them but i did put quite a few coats. I have never had a very good experience with rattlecan clearcoat. And I wanted a satin look anyways. I will probablyget sick of them before they chip anyways
