thanks! the lip is actually all carbon fiber, so no paint needed unless you dont like the look.

Install was quite easy since someone had already previously installed in but basically it attaches to all the OEM snap-clips on the underside of the bumper. You have to remove the air dam that is underneath the front and it clips in at all of those locations as well as two other spots nearer to each corner.

The reason it was so much easier this way is because when bought brand new from JDP you have to drill the holes for each location that it clips thus you have to remove the whole bumper. I just jacked mine up, popped it on there, and drove around with a big smile on my face for the rest of the day!

Brought my snows home today. When I took them off on Tues I dropped them off at tire shop. They are now powered coated in generic white.

Cleaned my interior. Was not really dirty other than a lot of road salt on front drivers mat. Had a can of Salt Eraser. Looks almost new. Good shit for up here in the North. It is now parked back in the Igloo.

So you're running a staggered (reversed?) and then with spacers... Why so complicated?

Doesn't putting smaller width tires in back (compared to front) increase the chances of oversteer?

1. DIY: A set of blue 12inch led strips I got from Oznium into footwells, also connected a blue led rocker switch to it so I can turn it on and off at will.
2. DIY: Independent fog lights

Did the lower grill mod to protect my a/c condenser and painted a strip on my upper grill. Lemme know what you think

















Not a huge difference, but I like it.

I got these secondhand for a good price from a guy with a GD. Maybe the deep dish rear makes them sink in. I don't know.
The chance of oversteer is slim since I drive slow.

I thought deep dish wheels were supposed to make them stick out? (since you're supposed to be able to SEE that it's a deep dish wheel).

I know this is hard to do, but wait a month or so before doing any major mods.

Just enjoy your new Fit as stock.

Maybe they have to compensate for the high offset. Anyway here's pic of the front and rear lip. Crappy phone pics.

Front 1.5"


Rear 2"

Oh no... that's not what I count as "deep dish" (since the hub face still has plenty of positive offset). Your deep dish has something in it!

something more like this...
