Not really a thing I did, but my wife is buying a truck, so I get to do "whatever I want" to the Fit. Trunk emblem is coming off tomorrow.

Not a lot of big plans yet, as we have a few things to do to the truck (basically going to overhaul the interior, and a couple exterior touches.)

I envy your position. I'm not allowed to do whatever I want just yet lol. I'll have to wait till we have a second car as well.

Which lip did you get? I got a STI lip the first one I painted MR to match my car but the bumps and entrances into parking lots did not like it scrap most of the paint away. Lost it to a retread on the way to Dallas.

Mr. BMW is correct, it is the DIY Home Depot lip.

though i had to pick it up from Lowes and it was renamed "EPDM Rubber" instead of "Hard Rubber" like all the other DIY's. repainted with some white plastidip (awesome because it was instock @lowes when i picked up the lip) as primer and a couple coats of blaz Blue from plastidip website. took a nice little road trip to Connecticut afterwards and it still looks very bright.

I have 2 more for the side skirts but deciding whether or not to add those as im in complete disbelief how the front jacking point of the car is like 2 feet from the front bumper. . . wth Honda!

Sad day yesterday, traded in the Fit for a Ford Flex. 3rd kid on the way and the Fit isn't quite big enough. Will miss the crap out of the MPG!! If anybody is looking for a low mileage 2011 Fit Sport in Revolution Orange go to Honda of Lancaster, CA.

Hello SieGunso,
I want to ask a question,
when you install your rubber lip,
Do you use just double tape or your also used screw ?

These came in on Saturday. Super fast shipping, they were still in Japan Friday am (local time).

Blue tint/water repellant/convex/heated w/ turn signal LED's mirrors.









Turn signal LED lit


I still haven't installed them, but they look as good if not better than OEM. The signal LED's are literally invisible when not lit, you can't tell where they are. The blue tint glass over the assembly covers them completely and if you don't hook them up you'd never know they have turn signal LED's on them.


The heater connections are on the left in the pic below (kinda blurry though).


I also ordered the auto-fold harness and some other stuff from rakuten. So when that comes in, I should be installing them (probably next weekend).

about damn time. is that the garuda mirror?

as for myself. was torn between getting a nose lift or a butt lift for my birthday gift. i figured that the nose lift would cost me more and take a longer time, so i decided to place an order with bernardi and get a butt lift. will need to get it repainted.

Not the Garuda ones (but pretty much the exact same). I saw these posted on CRZforums, and I asked about the Garuda ones... some one commented that they never received a response... So after all the good reviews on these I ordered them (Safe Driving brand I believe)..

Butt lift? USDM Mugen?

I gotta complete all these mods (then do suspension/brakes), before I can think of aero.
