Default Pictures of modified Insights

Well I've ordered a set of Tanabe DF210 lowering springs along with a set of 15x7 Flat Black Rota Slipstream wheels and tires. Since I can't wait for my packages to show up I figured I would gawk at some modified Insights to hold me over.

As some of you may or may not know there's not many out on the web, only reoccurring images of Noblesse, Top Secret, and a few others that are mostly ruined by ugly body kits. I ended up going to google.co.jp and image searching for Honda Insight and found some that I would like to share with the community.

*** THESE PICTURES WERE NOT TAKEN BY ME. ***







I hope everyone enjoys the pictures. Perhaps people could add their collection as well. I will post pictures of mine when everything is installed in about 2 weeks or so.

Cheers

Wow, that lower grill really sets it off.

Amazing how the wing in the older photos sets it apart from that prius shape vs looking like a ricer.

Default Botoms photos are not the same as mine

Hey,
There is a plastic bottom aero panel after the left back wheel in some of you photos. My April 2010 Insight does not have it. I had wondered if I could make one for there myself, but now I am wondering if they forgot to install it.

About the IMA temp meter, I meant monitor, not meter.

It is a wired Radio Shack Indoor outdoor thermometor, which I put the outdoor probe in the exhaust of the IMA module, as close as I could get to that tub. So I beleive it monitors the output temp of the IMA module, I have seen it up to 40C, so those bateries still cook.
