That's unique. I don't hate it, tho. Good work.

It hasn't been confirmed, but if the mounting points match it might. You'd just have to get a 2012+ lower bumper too. I think?

Love that JDM Shuttle Mugen Grill!!!

So badass. I know they're written somewhere, but what are your wheel specs?

I'm assuming you mean the Milky Way shot. I photoshopped it into the previous photo I shot. I didn't take the shot though, and have never even tried to do astro photography.

Thanks man! The fronts are 16X8 +20 and the rears are 16X8 +15 wrapped in 195/45/16 Yokohoma S Drives so the tires have a little stretch, but not to crazy.

There was so many nice cars at the meet! Great turnout. I'll open up the car this time so you can check it all out

I did my first winter drive in my 6 week old Fit. Not much snow yet. But cold.

My question for you Fit Freaks is about winter tire pressure. My light was on my whole work trip today (250 mi) due to temps dropping into the 20s. We will be dropping to -10 (-20 wind chill) by January. How do I stay one step ahead of the light? Do I air up every time we drop 10 degrees? Prefer not dealings this on work travel days. Thanks!

Yes you need to air up as the ambient air gets cooler. It's just physics. I don't know about going by every 10 degrees it drops as a general rule, but sounds like a good estimation. Also the TPMS light should come on before your tires are dangerously low, so waiting till it comes on is not totally out of the question. Just check your tire pressure regularly. Also make sure you're checking your tires when they are cold, so not right after a decent length drive. That's why manufacturers give a recommended cold tire pressure. Don't want to check them when the tires are warm because then you'll get a high reading.

You should consider filling your tires with nitrogen so you don't have to worry nearly as much about the temperature fluctuation. Costco does it for free/really cheap.

Thanks Meatbaby and Connor - No Costco in my rural town and few in this half of the State, but interesting to know. I'll probably stick w checking it frequently for now. Maybe once a month or w a big temp drop. What PSI is optimal?

What part of the western slope you from? I'm from Grand Junction and I put 36-37 psi in my tires and it lasted all winter.

Hey V Fit - I'm from Montrose but work for CMU, so am up in GJ twice a week. Thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot. We get a little colder but we don't get those lazy inversions!
