Been busy with stuff lately so I wasn't able to update this thread with new pics. Got the time to chill this weekend so I guess I'd throw some in:

Got the rears tinted 20%.


Lilcat had something for me. Express shipping is the best, btw.




Got this goodie from AJ-Racing and installed it with Loctite just in case people wanted to steal a stubby antenna.

Trying to save up and get a couple more stuff before the year ends so I can be prepared for track/cruise next summer.

-Function&Form Type II's or Stance Super Sport
-OEM Spoiler
-J's Racing front lower tie bar
-J's Racing rear strut bar
-J's Racing c-pillar bar
-New summer wheels (Maybe Konig Retrack or Rota RB)

Also preparing for winter time:
-Winter tires

Hopefully. *cross fingers*

Thank you!
The unit I had was a base one, so no mp3 and preset equalizer.
And yes, it was a direct swap. Only thing I'm missing now are the door tweeters but not really concerned as I'm planning to upgrade to 3-way speakers on the front.

And also for other base Fit owners out there, the oem sport unit upgrade is worth it because I found out that it gives out a bit more power than the base unit.

I've never heard such thing related about this intake. I've had it since I bought the car, and love it. Might let it go soon too, just because I'm upgrading to a T1R intake.

Alright good lol. Was planning on getting one. I really want the t1r too! But the price is pretty steep for my budget right now.

I'm gonna sell my intake in a couple of months. If you can wait, I'll let it go for cheap.

Took me about 5mins to install. Just take off 2 clips close to the hatch latch, take the handle cover out then just pop the panel off. When it's off, you can see the housings there.

Nice Fit! I love the upgrades.

Does anyone know the answer to this?

I was hoping you could tell me whether or not the front speakers with the in-dash tweeters are component speakers with a crossover that divides the highs and the lows, or separate speakers. I want to upgrade the sound system, but I don't want to have to mess with the components in the dash.

Do not quote me on this but I don't think they have crossovers so they are just separate speakers. If you look at the equalizer options on the stock sport unit, it's still bass and treble plus some preset stuff.
My buddy that has the sport model just upgraded his front speakers and left the tweeters alone, and then added a JL stealthbox. Now it sounds like a premium audio system from factory.

Thanks for the info. I read that somewhere else. I really wanted to verify it. I am thinking about putting new hives in the dash. I am going to have to fabricate a bracket for the grille. Thanks for the words.

Thanks! It sucks that the Fit scene here is very little compared to the US. But I can't complain, makes us more recognizable. Haha. Maybe we'll see each other driving around!
