Within the last 3 weeks. Grease rear drums (noise). Valve adjustment. Clean cabin filter, replace tranny fliuid, oil change, install intake, replace rotor and pads, AC condenser fence shield, HID conversion kit, spark plugs, and add aux input.

That's the js racing lip. I had one and got it from ppi. It's in California. It's js racing usa.

I would waste money on the carbon fiber ones as only the wingless on the side are made of carbon fiber.

Mine is actually a j's racing replica from nextmod. I really wanted the real deal to match my grill but it's just too expensive when it sits that low to the ground. Plus getting it shipped and painted. This rep fit pretty damn good, had a little damage due to the kinda lame shipping I got but the dealer I had fix and paint did a great job. If your car is super low and you daily it like I do, the replica really makes more sense in my opinion.

51R Battery Upgrade

I'm new to FitFreak. I've had my '08 GD3 for a couple of months now. When I purchased the car it still had the factory battery and it was on it's last leg. Last night I replaced it with a Duracell 51R battery and eliminated the factory battery tray, as I've read on here that it's the way to go.

What I'm wondering now is if anyone has done this upgrade with an aftermarket intake. Is there room to do any sort of aftermarket intake with the larger 51R battery? Pics would be a plus. Thanks!

I don't see my AFE stage 2 intake fitting with a 51R group in there. It just misses the battery now with the smaller 151R group.

Did you install the fogs or just mod them? If installed can you message me the process and possibly even help me find them online?

Pics of your ride height?

I never had issues with my authentic J's destroying itself.

This morning I washed the Fit then finally installed the Mugen window visors I bought a while ago. Next project is the rear lower hatch garnish.

Ambient Light

Today i installed the GE8 ambient light to my 08 Fit Base. I also cleaned and put on my OEM JDM floor mats that just came in the mail yesterday. I wish my fit was right hand drive because the floor mats has a built in dead pedal but still works for left hand drive GD fits

I know it's not the lowest, looks like maybe you were just running springs. But those winglets on the sides make a big difference when going in dips and in and out of entrances on the daily.

Yeah, you're about an inch lower than I was.

I still think you'd be okay either way, but definitely understand your fears.

That's pretty slammed. What offset are the wheels and camber on the Fit?
