I had to pay a chunk to the government again.
Agreed on the side molds. I guess the lighting is an easier hookup overall than the mirrors, but like i said before I dont really want to cut my car up myself... if i mess up i cant undo it.. if i mess any part of the winker install, its possible to redo it. Also, since the car was already in for the fogs, it wasnt too much to just get them to do the interior lights too. Still, if i couldve done it myself i wouldve. Hope that makes sense lol

I would leave the blue alone. I'm sure they're just as illegal in Canada.

Mirror covers look great by the way. Wish I had winkers. you're such a baller. Lol

Looking good buddy. Keep it up.

Thanks man. I think they're only illegal if you drive with them on. If I can some how wire them to only come on when I unlock my doors(dome or lock/park light) that would work for me. Figuring that out is the hard part.

Well. When you figure that out let me know which circuit you used. Maybe I can use that to auto fold my mirrors when I lock my car.

Will do. If I ever figure it out, I'll post it up here. I think I'm onto something..

What kind of aftermarket lights bulbs you got in that thing? 6k HID? Bi-Xenon? Silverstar?

Very nice car! Love the theme you got going on.

Thanks! No after market bulbs at the moment, could be a future thing though

Been Busy lately but have managed to do a few new things in the meantime.

These first 3 are basically to improve and make my driving experience more comfortable

First, added the gas pedal resistance spring (less/no strain on my leg when on highways)

added the centre console armrest (waay more comfortable than the stock armrest, and better positioned too. It also has acts as extra storage)

photo-1.jpg?t=1342569756

Installed a navi! JVC KW-NT700 (no more getting lost!)
Features:

NAVTEQ Maps
Reverse camera
Bluetooth, DVD,CD,SD,USB(in upper dash),iOS Audio and Video
8 angle display
Pandora, iHeartRadio, XM ready
Grounded Park Brake Wire (obviously)
full features and specs here: http://mobile.jvc.com/product.jsp?mo...hId=147&page=2

photo-4.jpg?t=1342570259


Added Mugen Side Spoilers

photo-1-1.jpg?t=1342569885


And of course to match the Mugen sides...

photo-2.jpg?t=1342569915

photo-3.jpg?t=1342569948


Ill make a more detailed thread about my "sport" conversion and post the link here afterward.

Hey Buddy,

Car's looking cleeeeeaaan!! Nice to see another Canadian Fit here!

Quick question, you selling your OEM base Fog lights? Now that you
have your new beautiful bumper, why not do your fellow Canuck a huge favor
and sell him your old fog lights!

Lemme know,
Thanks.

P.S. Where did you get your Mugen sides? Dealer?
