Forgot to mention I installed my LED winker mirror covers this weekend. Car was too dirty to take any decent shots. Decided to color match the modulo center garnish and the rear diffuser.

I like those wheels that are on that car. They're a bit big for me, though. I don't think I'd go past a 16 on a Fit.

According to USPS my mugen rear mirror cover arrived, my Curt trailer hitch and industrial strength velcro for the OEM cargo liner sides arrived yesterday. Got some work to do this weekend. Maybe get the car washed. =)

I got my intake about a week before my exhaust, and I almost didn't even bother getting an exhaust because the intake sounded so good lol. The combo of intake + exhaust completely transforms the car, though. I might record a sound clip if I ever get an SJCam (GoPro rep)

I had to cut the bottom middle part of the grille out, because the Shuttle grille has a lower section that the Sport grille does not have, so it wouldn't fit without this modification. It sits perfectly and is secure, so I'm not worried. Car doesn't look as aggressive with the grille as I thought, but hey I'm one of only a handful of people to have this grille in the US I have some low quality pics but I'll take some nice pictures soon. The car is finally complete (minus the sway bar end-link I might have to replace, and an alignment)
good for u bro. sad to say, u didnt have to chop anything off to fit it. its a tight fit but it will go in.

Too tight of a fit for me... I tried forcing it in and I didn't like what I was seeing. Oh well, I'll probably never sell the grille anyways.

Just a little sneak peak of what I've been doing lately on my car, my waterdip project + some other things I will share in the days to come:

Thanks! I would too haha-- Fit Shuttle Noblesse or Bless kit would be the cheaper way to go though I love the Noblesse Fit more. We'll see someday haha.

If you decide to get the noblesse shuttle bumper, Make sure you find a local shop thatll ship jdm parts by container. Youll have to wait a couple months but you wont get raped on shipping which normally would double the cost.

Thanks for the tip! Yea I need to get the connections because shipping oversized would make it cost an arm and a leg haha. Might as well get the whole shebang and get a jdm bumper to pair with their rear lip as well. That would be awesome

Yea sir, I have a buddy of mine doing it. I wanted to do the spoiler too but that's gonna have to wait. Im also considering doing the AC vents, the steering wheel part and maybe the speed visor. Im gonna have it installed today and will eventually upload some pictures.

Is it fairly straight forward to DIY the SC?
