they are going to tell you whatever then need to so you will buy a car then and there.

As far as your kit goes trying searching on the forum via the search button for noblesse. Or you could also try contacting someone like khandom who has the noblesse kit on his GD to see how you can get one.

Even Marcus(bluecell) might be able to give you some info. He has swap and knows guys up in dallas at Kustoms Inc. That are more than capable of doing this for you.

Thanks for the welcome.

Well that would suck to have to do a full JDM conversion. I just want something that looks a little different. I don't know if the Ebay stuff is safe. There have been some "JDM Mugen style" ones on there. Just don't want to put JUNK on my new car.

I guess I'll keep searching.

I just got back from Houston last night. I was at the DUB show tour. Took home Best 4 door street. The new brakes are fun!

Similar, but pics never do them justice. I'll be on a hunt for new wheels soon.

Can you shrink that picture? It's screwing up the page. Nice wheels though. I actually would like to see your fit tricked out like that.

Thanks Jules!!! I claybar'd the car then applied Meguiars NXT wax by hand. Easiest wax to use without a buffer.

That's better! I really like it when people put better wheels on the GE8s. It improves them immeasurably. But the Noblesse kit would be good too.

Thanks, the USDM Mugen kit is what I wanted but buying it piece at a time and having to replace the bumper, get fog lights, and everything else involved makes that a "long term goal" If that is what I end up doing it will be a while.

Oh and Marcus, Meguiars NXT wax? I have gotta try that! Your car is awesome! PS Nice brakes!

I just had some minor fender damage fixed...my son said, "You could get a body kit installed!" Ha ha. The guy at the shop said that's what all the young guys do if they have an accident - get a kit put on if they can.

But if you get a kit, then it only looks good if it's slammed, and I know I'd mess it all up driving that way. So I will just continue on as stock...and admire all the Fits on the forum.

If you see me, honk at me! You'll know it's me b/c of the plates and the fitfreak.net sticker on the back window.

Yeah I thought about doing a conversion or a kit on my car considering the front end got pretty messed up. But all the damage was cosmetic and it would have cost more to get the JDM stuff and it would have been a forever wait.

I like your rims, Hootie, but I just can't spring for a set of my own right now. Have one son in college and one still in private high school. Rims are pretty far down on the priority list! The wheels that came with the car hold the tires OK.

yeah I'm selling my whole car now. And I'm serious about it this time. Because I'm going back to school and I can't afford it with the current job i'm working. I'm living in the red big time. So I'll try to get a cheap civic or something with cheap insurance.
