Mugen Rear and Side skirts will fit, but the Mugen Lip only fits on the prefacelift GE8s. JDP makes a carbon fiber lip, diffuser, hood, spoiler, etc

How do you like the Type2's on your Fit? I have a set on my 94 Accord wagon and I like them but I wish they were a little stiffer. I love the stock Fit suspension, I'd just like it to be lower and a little stiffer. :/ I'm also gonna be picking up a lip kinda like yours, the STi eBay lip that fits basically anything. Good job on repairing your fender and bumper too.

I like the type 2s on the fit. mt only complaint would be the rear,i wish they were a bit stiffer just because when i go over speed bumps the front feels close to stock but the rear will bounce like crazy once i clear the bump. other than speed bumps, i have no complaints elsewhere

Very clean fit. The tails, chrome valance and the mugen rear lip flow VERY WELL together. That front lip? Was it ALOT of modification to fit or just some minor trimming? What year STI does it come off of? Nvm after reading up on that lip it appears to be 06-07

Grr I hate that bounce, my wagon does it too cuz the Type 2's on it were designed for a sedan/coupe so they can't quite handle the extra weight in the back end

Sorry for the late reply, been pretty busy. But the lip did need to be trimmed around the bends and heated to mold to the bends of the Fit since the WRX bumper bends are more sharp. I only trimmed because once you straighten it out, the lip will have a wave upward on the mounting side

Adjusted my suspension more for better comfort, but still enough motion for some spirited driving. Also for a nice looking ride height
