Just saw one the other day going the opposite way on the FWY. Really like the color, sure stands out from the blacks/whites/silvers on the FWY. That's why I'm adding bit by bit blue items to my car (drive a silver storm metallic base Fit).

Gotcha! I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about changing the painted part inside the headlight housing. That was more common with the older Fit's when people didn't want them body color.
I'm guessing a hair dryer set on high would help get the film to conform to the complex shape. You could also try spray tint. I had great results using VHT Nite-Shades. They make a blue version... softys.ca: VHT Metal Tint Spray
I would certainly recommend testing on a clear piece of plastic first

Thanks for the link!
Does the blue window tint keep the sun out as well as the other type? Cuz it is really nice!

Great choice for last car too, for that matter
Oh my, I HOPE it's not her last car.

Thanks, yeah it does keep the sun out, but you need the windshield visor to really keep it cool. And just to let you know, it's two films, one blue, one dark with a semi reflective coating.

Did you have to pay for 2 separate installs then? Why did you do it that way?
I ordered a Fit windshield visor from the dealership when we picked it up.
I love the blue tint yours has. Maybe a heavier or darker blue? I hate to pay for two jobs.

Oh, ok. Didn't want you to think I meant something ominous--it was only when I read your comment I realized maybe it could have been taken that way...oops! Haha

Added new pics, new album
Wow Subie...you have ESP!!
Really, we had this nail polish long before the car.
She has been soooo busy with tests for the past 2 weeks, we haven't had time to do a nail polish/car shoot combo.
It is a lousy ucky day out....cold, windy, and no sun.
I did her nails last night and then dragged her away from homework for a few cloudy day pics.

Seeing the smile on your daughters face brought a smile to mine There's nothing better than your first car and she has a great one.
I know that money doesn't grow on trees, but if it were my kids car (he's only one so it will be a while) I would tint the windows and watch on here for someone selling their sport model wheels with tires. That would be the cheapest way to make a huge visual improvement.

I totally know what you mean. My first thread on here was complaining about the UGLY wheels on the Base Fit. I'm trying to watch for some nice ones on the forum here. If you see a good deal, let me know.
I have gotten a quote for 189.00 for tinting all windows. I think she might get that from Santa.

BB, I finally saw a fit with the color of yours today.. That color looks much better in person... Nice color choice btw.
Oh! I believe in Santa too, think by any chance I will wake up and find a new set of wheels under my Christmas tree
