Not bad, I don't care for the red stiching on the boot but not bad. I still like my HFP rims, they match the galaxy gray.

Nice. Are there holes in the trunk or you swapped trunks?

Looks good. What are the specs of the wheels? Size, offset, etc? How is the ride on those springs?

I wouldn't mind knowing how to change the shifter knob either. Where'd you get your new one? Any good websites for that kinda thing?

lol
the wheels are the VELOX ZETA 8 in 18" whit an offset of 47.... i dont know the weight
the tires are the FALKEN RT-615 225/40/18
the ride on this springs is cool... they r a little hard but still in my confort range, the car respond better than whit stock ones... so far....
the only problem that i have is than the wheels "curv" (is that correct?) some where in to the fender but not too mucho... a lil more that whit my 7thgen goldline/tokico blues/215/45/17
for the knob... i buy it from ebay.... 15 dlls lol
i saw the HONDA FIT aluminium shift knob... but in a dealer it cost like 50 bucks... i dont wanna pay that
and yes... just unscrew the knob


the pics where taken from the terrace of my house

The accessory knob also comes with all the necessary mounting hardware.

That's an EX. The Si has a pedestal spoiler, VTEC DOHC decal behind the doors, the upholstery is different.

The rims aren't my cup of tea but it's a nice looking package.

i was confused, because FG2 = Si and FG1 = DX/LX/EX

thought he might of debadged it but then i saw how small the disks were, then saw the pattern on the seats.

I wasn't sure at first either. I thought maybe he debadged and removed the spoiler but then I saw the seats and I figured that would be a lot of trouble to go to in order to make an Si look like a DX/LX/EX.

Not feelin' the bronze wheels---I probably would have gone with gunmetal. Like the style, though. Overall, nicely done and YOU like it so that's what counts.
