i like it, it's not as gaudy as the chrome gd3 sport grille.

love you light set-up as well A+++
::ninja-edit::
went back to look at your headlights again and noticed your fender pull. the rears look super clean from that angle, did you do them yourself?

Paint it to match and ditch the nasty ass LED's in your headlights. Dumbest trend ever.

Not as much as a Mugen though

I plan on getting the sport grill and the cheapest I've found is $170, not cheap but still about $200 less than a Mugen!

If the fit came with the sport grill from factory, I would install the one that it actually has now, LOL, IMHO it looks a lot more 'SPORT' than the sport one.

the projectors are a universal kit designed to fit into the fit headlight perfectly. retrofit require drilling and various procedures..mines are screw on in the rear which are much more sturdy. i painted it flat black while i did the custom projectors. along w/ the led strip & replacing all the bulbs w/ led bulbs.

thanks for the comments everyone!

I agree 100% with you. The Sport looks factory and the factory looks Sport.

i would black it out with a red Honda emblem. Now that would look good.

i like your lights! i'm not sure about the grill I still can't decide if it looks better like this or stock.

btw - were there any issues installing the LED strips, or was it as simple as sticking them on? i noticed that the lights curve a bit and that might cause some issues. i'm thinking of getting something similar for my fit.
