SSM headlights on Taffy White...this is close to the honda japan sports smoke chrome.
I thought about NBP but it is too dark and has too much luster/contrast to white for my taste. Needed something lighter...

Though many of you might not agree with this combination...so flame away if you want.
But those that needed something beside NBP for a change...well here it is.

Close...though SSM is more flat and smoke chrome has brilliance...

Some independent fogs...

Now some exterior shots:

Feel free to send your NBP lights this way for my TW lights

ezekielwhore · 09-25-2007, 04:00 PM

ive always thought throwing SSM headlights would look better than the black ones. good job!!

In my opinion your Fit is one of the cleanest and most tastful around. I have taken all the pics and placed them into my iPhoto library for future use in modding my Fit. About the only thing missing would be the upcoming window tint

What is the "Work" decal on the rear hatch? Please tell me it is not a dealer decal.....I told the local dealer here to not place any decals or plate frame on my Fit. What am I an advertisment vehicle?

If I have my way, my Fit will be a cookie-cutter of your's, in Blue.

Cheers, KK

Sturmmann · 09-25-2007, 04:53 PM

Thanks all, so far no one hates it...I'm still waiting...

. No I'm kidding, I did this for me...well actually mum. She drives it. I mod it.

That Work sticker? It is a Work wheels decal that I had to get custom made. Work wheel company doesn't have their company stickers. I decided to get a dark gray to match up with the smoke taillights in the rear. Placed it where the FIT used to be. That FIT emblem is under the hood now...couldn't find a viable place in the cabin.

Honestly, I wanted to show people who take interest at the car that it has Work wheels. Quite many people do not know what model or manufacturer this wheel is. First assumption would be that it is some cheap fake shiny aftermarket wheel...especially in southern California. Since I don't drive it a sticker will do.

For people that look at this thread...ITS NOT CHROME OR METAL COAT...its crystal silver...clearcoated/polish Work silver!

This Termist TM-1 model went on sale in 2003 and ended this year 2007. Not many were sold so it was discontinued fast. Those that were bought were mainly in 5 lug...so this set may be the few 4x100 out there...if only other owners will prove this wrong.

APSWRX1 · 09-25-2007, 06:02 PM

Those wheels look great!

JDM_EK3 · 09-26-2007, 07:17 AM

Looks really good, I was considering doing this as well over the black headlights as I already have the OEM SSM Fog Light Covers.

USDMGD3! · 09-26-2007, 09:56 AM

Your Fit is coming along great! I was looking to chrome out or something different than black headlights.

koolkevin1107 · 09-26-2007, 10:33 AM

Damn that looks really good!

So, you willing to sell your TW headlights cheap? i'm in glendale and can pickem up. I got a project up my sleeve. =]

Solscud007 · 09-28-2007, 01:59 AM

hey Sturmmann looking good. maybe with your mod I can get someone to trade me my SSM headlights for NBP haha. lets hope.

untx3 · 10-05-2007, 07:55 AM

Nice ride dude!

Any issues rubbing? Rubbing in the front or just in the back?

Any fender mods you needed to do?

Sturmmann · 10-05-2007, 11:46 AM

Not much is needed. Trim the center of front fender liner and bend the fender tab back. Trim rear bumper retainer tab. Basically everything in the way of the tire/suspension travel needs to be cleared.

No it does not rub, at least when I'm not test driving it.
