Thank you! I believe they were referring to the bad rating(s) the thread had when it first started. I only had pics of my Fit in stock form at the time and I guess people didn't like it. I wasn't worried or concerned about it at all!

Everything is made better by chrome/polished. EVERYTHING.

Thanks everyone! The finish on the wheels are called "Work Metal Buff", a premium finish from Work Wheels. It looks a lot better in person! The car will be getting some work done the next few weeks so I'll be sure to update you guys on the progress. I will try to get a photoshoot set up as well.

Looks really nice. A small (maybe 5mm) rear spacer would further the badassness.

Thanks! I've considered getting a 5mm spacer but I'm cool with where it sits right now. When the car is aired out, the rear wheel is real close to the fender liner so it sits perfectly tucked in. Maybe in the future though!

Mugen Front & Rear Lips are on! I finally got most of the big mods out the way. Last big thing to do is to get the rear to sit lower when aired out. After that, I'll be doing small stuff. Probably going to be tinting the windows next!

I have the JDP because I thought the mugen lines would be lost in the black...but guess I was wrong. Very nice.

I was back and forth between the JDP and Mugen lip for awhile. I'm still getting used to the new look with the Mugen front and rear but I'm glad I went with it because the quality is top notch and fitment is perfect. If I went with JDP, I would have bought the front lip and rear diffuser and colormatched them to my car. You can't go wrong either way though. The Mugen is a noticeable add on while the JDP is subtle but still makes a difference to the exterior.
