VIS makes this bumper, it 's a replica of the JDM Mugen Front.
It is fiberglass and as far as fitment, it was a catastrophe. I do body work and paint and it took me countless hours. Lots of cutting out, lots of adding, lots of surface smoothing and prep. My VIS kit didnt come with fog light mounts so I custom glassed mounts. The foglights I have in there are Raybrigs, stock from a 2005 Honda Element. =) Ive glassed in stainless steel brackets for the mounts so I can use the stock screws and clips to hold it tight.
In other words, you need one of two things:
1) A good body shop + $$$
or
2) Secret body/paint work skills + tons of time and patience.

What I'm going to do to my Fit later today is let my wife drive it for the first time. She will be occasionally driving it in to work when / if it snows, so she needs to learn the controls, seat adjustment, etc. now.
She hated driving the Cooper S I traded in on the Fit, so I'm hoping she likes the Fit better.

I did that and 4 days of her using my car resulted in the only dent the car has gotten on it in over 5 years... Actually there are more than one but most are hardly visible... I think a couple of shopping cart pushers used it for target practice.

Jealous. Do you happen to have a GoPro or something you can mount up and get us some video?
The wide angle at 720P makes for some nice video, the only bad part of it is the hollow, compressed sound the camera picks up. I wish GoPro would make a camera with an external mic input...are you listening GoPro?
