Dropped the OEM lip kit and JDM spoiler off at the autobody shop today to get shot with SSM paint. Can't wait to pick them up tomorrow and get them put on! Base to Sport conversion almost complete.

Finally got to drive my SSM with the 15x7 RPF1's and 205/55/15 Dunlops on her, as soon as i got home i ordered Skunk2 springs and I have a set of KYB shocks in the garage. I'll post some pics once i get the springs installed.

Yeah i'm already rubbing, I went to the beach on Saturday with the new set up installed and was with my brother and i up front, and my fiance and 2 of her friends in the back. It was funny since all three of the girls in the back have been on diets for spring break/summer and have lost weight (and look pretty hot) and the car bottoms out...the look on their faces was priceless.

That is funny.. I was able to use some rubber matting used for flooring in horse stalls to cut circular shaped pieces to place over or under the back springs and on the top of the front spring to gain a little height.... You don't even need a spring compressor with the Swift springs... You might be able to find someone with a wheel well roller to work your fenders out wider. One or the other or some of both should do the trick ... I have 195-55-15s on my RPF1s and on rare occasions a tire would hit an inner wheel well liner clip.. I did OK using 205-50-16s on 16x6.5 45mm offset Kosei wheels with Swift springs... I'm on coil overs now because Swifts were too low in front for the roads here.

Man you had better get busy.. My engine compartment has way less in it right now than yours.... I'm waiting to see who the next K swap Fit owner with boost is going to be.... Even without boost you are sure to have a fun car to drive when you have it all together and sorted out..

Were you able to clip the door panel back on with all that weather stripping? It seems like it would've thrown off the panel's fitment?

It clipped on fairly well, just have to give the door panel a few nice pops around the edges with the base of your palm to get the clips to all seat.

Im to busy with school. To be honest I'm probably going to be the next turbo set up on here in the near future. I'm talking about adding the turbo late june. I'm in the process of selling my motorcycle to fund the custom turbo kit. i already have all parts needed to drop the motor in except the harness with kpro. Hasport said its about a two week process so ill have the motor in end of april.

I decided to take my muffler off after reading some of the threads here. Took like 5 min. and I'm pretty happy with it. sounds real nice around 2.5k-3k. And it's not crazy loud.
