My 2014 passed smog 2yrs ago and again this Sep. Had the COBB stickers and the smog guy knew what they were. Car passed with flying colours again!

It’s been a minute. OG 2014 with 25k smiles. 😎

Still looking beautiful

30K miles in 10 years. Garage queen, but looking fine

yep. Just been driving my other cars more. But every time I get in the FiST it brings me smiles 😁

Sold your Dekagrams, or just 'switching it up' with the factory hoops for a change?

I thought that mine was used very little with ~45K on the clock as a 2016.
(NOT a garage queen though, since it has never been garaged a day in it's life. )

Sold them awhile back.

Done, now on to the next project.

Resurrecting's this post since i am thinking of doing this to mine
Did you scuff up the plastic with scotch-brite / sand it before painting it or just clean the part the best you could then paint?
Did you add clear krylon fusion after painting gloss black or only this is gloss black
Thinking of doing the same, foglight cover, lower front trim and rear diffuser honeycomb and i like how your turn out
Debating if doing it myself like this or just take the parts out and take them to paint shop

Just cleaned it with soap and water. Just Krylon Fusion, no additional clear added. Still looks good, way better than the stock faded and marred wax look.

Thought I’d update this thread while I’m here. I haven’t spent time around here much. I still have the Fist, but haven’t driven it much.
I picked up a new daily last year, a ‘24 Nissan Versa S 5 speed manual and have been enjoying it with all the seat time its been getting. It’s really quite good for my use and it has 3 pedals, so it’s engaging to drive. Under the radar, great MPG, economical, and fun to drive.

I feel you. I’ve driven my fiesta 600 miles in the last 11 months. Didn’t know the versa came in a manual, that’s cool.

What has taken its spot in terms of use, another car, motorcycle, bicycle, walking?
