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?

Thanks man! Don't see enough Canucks on here. I could totally sell you the fog lights, but you would still need to buy the wiring harnesses. You'd also need to drill the holes in your bumper to fit the housings in. You can find out how to do all that at bernardiparts.com. Mugen parts are hard to get up here for sure. Since they don't sell them at Canadian dealerships, I had to buy the mugen sides and all my other parts from college hills honda. I had to organize the shipping myself too. So kind of a pain in the ass, but worth it in the end. Also, buying parts in the us is always cheaper, sometimes 4-5x cheaper.

yes really well actually, i wish my camera was good enough to portray it.
basically they look like they have a layer of glass over them right now.
supposed to deflect buildup of brake dust too, that would be nice for my white wheels.
You definitely need some rims

Install is the same as OEM, there should be a video on youtube of how to do it.
Check back in a few weeks, buddys selling me his old springs.
Im still slightly worried about scraping on speed bumps or driveways (especially with the lower sport bumper) I think his springs lower 1.8 inches front, 2 rear

Hi Connor! Can you pm me or go to my page in sig and post the link to where you purchased your winkers for your side mirrors?
On your car you still have the front marker lights yellow. I changed mine to hyper white...they look a little bluish. No trouble with the cops. After a couple months I tried straight blue LEDs. Didn't like the effect so I went back to the bluish-white ones.
I think they might look good with you blue winkers.
The first picture I saw had yellow lights in the winkers and the second picture had blue. Can you also provide the bulb size and where you sourced the blue ones?
I am planning on lowering my car on SWIFT springs. They will had a very mild drop, around 20 to 25mm. I am choosing these because they will not cause the geometry of the suspension to be altered to a point where RCA's are required (past 30mm). The ride should be almost the same as OEM springs as far as comfort goes. I believe our Fits will do fine in the snow on these.
Your car ROCKS!!!!

Now that you've had them on the car for a while, how do you like the bug deflector and ?3M clear Bra? I have a new taffeta white 2012 AT base, and like the pristine bug free look I have. We don't have much of a bug problem around here, but I always resented the bugs and dings I'd get on the metal hoods of old VW Beetles. Are they worth it? Hard to install the clear bra? And if you don't mind, your source for both items? Thanks, Paul H (Northern CA East Bay Area)

also havent gotten any hood chips since the install.
Clear bra is working great so far, no chips/cracks behind it either. Only thing is dirt can sometimes collect on the edges of the clear bra. This can be difficult or impossible to remove without peeling it off. Fortunately its not visible without crouching and looking really closely.
Id say theyre definitely worth it if you value the looks of your car. It may even help resale value, as it keeps the paint looking like new.
Id recommend getting the clear bra installed by pros, pretty much every city has a bunch of places thatll do this for many times cheaper than a dealership. Deflector is easy to install by yourself, I bought an oem style one at http://www.emwholesaleautoaccessories.ca/
