My 1 piece of BBS RF-509 Forged wheel (BBS Japan) just arrived today
so I can start measuring the clearance between
the Wheel Spokes and the Brembo caliper.
It is a very light wheel though... and the finish is very nice.
Came with the centering ring, even the bolt but that bolt
is for Mini Cooper S so we can't use it...
I can't wait for the other 4 wheels to come in 1.5 months from now...
they are in back order status in Japan...

Also added side skirts, the paint matches really good and I love how the Fit is taking shape now. I had them made at a local shop, they used xtreme fiberglass to do it.
I'm waiting for the JDM badges I ordered, they will be here in a couple weeks.
Now, I need to work on the bumper; I was thinking of just adding an AllFit/EzLip or perhaps...buying an used sport one but that's way more expensive.

love it. fogs look great. I honestly think the home depot lip looks great on the base fit. and for $10 why not try it out and see if you like it?

Love to know more about the "Home Depot lip" got a link or something?
Had a friend that used to race at Summit Point nearby and he did some amazing DIY stuff for his car ...
Finally got this in the mail the other day and was able to try it out.
Turns out it only has a a function for blinking/strobe and brake light. I wanted to make it into a 4th brake light without the strobe function, so i'll need to wire up a diode/resistor setup.
The light is also small enough to fit into the Mugen bumper.
I've decided to get myself the sport bumper, realized with a rubber lip it won't get the desired look I want; this is a car I want to keep for at least 4-5 years. Anyways, here are the options I've found:
Part #04711TK6A90ZZ (believe this is the unpainted part number)
The cheapest being Rocksale and National Autobody, but I have never heard of those stores. I've ordered from #4 before and 've seen many people ordering from #3.
I always use dchautomotive parts for my acuras and Hondas. Easy PayPal checkout and a real human sends you updates on your order if, for any reason it will take slightly longer (I order a lot of small random fiddly bits most places don't stock).

Any suggestions ?
Always go OEM if you can. You pay for what you get and lots of times the aftermarket bumpers are made from crappy molds that have been used so many times the bumpers come out slightly warped.
I bought a cheap accord bumper one time and none of the holes lined up and it the corners were so warped they wouldn't fit.
Pay the extra couple of bucks for quality, you will be a lot happier when everything fit right.

How did you fit those fogs in your base bumper? could u post closer pics?
Dont forget that you need a new lower grill. Foglight housings. And new fender liners. Not just the sport bumper. I did that same thing you are about to do.
my XB t10 parking lights have been going nuts since its started raining, and my XB halos on my retrofits I have wired to the parking lights have been flaky themselves. figured it was the hack wiring i did, so i made some t10 splitters. got it all soldered up and when i tried to plug in the aftermarket t10 socket, it was way too short. so scrap that project. pulled out the wire taps and replaced the xb led t10 with some older t10s that work surprisingly good.
now i need to find a solution to wire the XB halos without tapping into a wire. I was thinking of tapping into the small light fuse, I figured that turns on when i turn on the lights and so do all the other lights on the car.

but I definitely need to run spacers with these;
