I took the Fit into the dealership today to see if they can tell me why my suspension sounds blown on the right side. Waiting for their call...

And Roo, quit yer whining about a paltry 56K LOL I have you by almost 17K ! I took the lower bumper cover portion of my bra off a few days ago. I am loving the look of the car with the cf hood and satin black lip! pics at some point after I get her back from the body shop....
i've only owned my car for two years though
aren't carbon fiber hoods so fresh looking? ugh, i miss mine.

I ordered some Denso IK22 spark plugs and a set of coil packs yesterday. Hopefully I can find time to install them this weekend.

IM working on installing my T1R Hood damper. I got about halfway done and now am just waiting untill my brother gets home so he can help finish the install. Fingers crossed I can get every thing reassembled with little to no problems

Drove to pick up some pizza a little while ago on a route that my rear tire's usually rub on. Turns out I shaved the rear bumper's tabs down just enough to clear.

Go for it, there is a good bit of material on the bumper that you can file down. If you need more clearance you can use smaller headed screws for the bumper and continue filling. I didn't need to use new screws for my application though.

Do you want it back? LOL I bought my Fit June 20th 2008, she ran out of powertrain warranty three hundred and sixty four days later! The service guy at Miller Honda in Winchester almost choked on his tongue. I tried to warn them i drive a lot....

want the hood back? nope. i seem to have horrible luck with anything carbon fiber haha. the delete on my car has two mysterious dents and didn't fit well when it was installed. i don't know if you saw it in person when patrick sold you that part or not. i was thinking about getting a new one, not carbon and painting it to match my car.
good ol' winchester, i haven't been there in years!

unfortunately the wrap was too small to cover the entire hood, but i tried it as practice and turned out nice. in the future i might consider redoing it again.

Got the exhaust sorted out and it is very loud when the go pedal is down or decelerating in gear... Fortunately I don't have to step down on it hard to get up to speed and as loud as it is the tone is low pitched and only annoying when I don't mind it being so... The exhaust is all Megan except for the axle back pipe. The end of the long mid pipe chopped off a couple of inches from the flange due to restriction of flow from 2.35" to 1.75" and a 2.5" straight pipe welded on to connect to an Aero Turbine 2540i muffler. Big time power increase..... Also rotated my tires and repainted the fog light housings.

Well trying to decide what mod to do next to the MR Fit. Right now i have mats and a jdm visor on the way. Here is my list. What do u guys think i should go with next. I was thinking Visors and leds for now. Or i could just go for the lip and head lights.
Door visors ether mugen or slim
leds for interior
J's Lip but not sure due to it being fiber glass. Or i might go with the mugen lip
Black out lights
Hood resprayed mine has lots of chips or maybe carbon fiber
later i want wheels and springs.
