installed my OEM armrest today. 99% done. had a couple of issues. the two bolts for the ebrake plate fell under the carpet. had to open up the rear passenger side carpet and fish for it. good thing they were both at the same spot. by the time i got them out, it was already dark. finished up attaching the armrest to the console. however, i couldn't get the rear left bolt to go into the bracket and my hole screw thingy is too small. i'll see if i can do it tomorrow morning. otherwise it's functional. =)

Congrats! Welcome to the Mugen Phat Ass club! Makes the Fit's rear so much better. Definitely stick with the black bra. The white looked very strange in pictures.

Lol thanks dude. I love it so much more than my previous setup. I need spacers for my rear wheels now

I agree it looked weird in pics. Looked better in person, but yeah I'm sticking with this now until I get the hood repaired and fully clear bra'ed.

Christmas for the Fit

I cannot say enough how AWESOME(!!!!!) of a job John at JDP Engineering does. He was nice enough to wrap the winglets and made them flawless and seamless. LOVE!







After installing winglets on and using door edge trim to line the lip so it doesn't cut into the bumper, we learned out lesson after the first one

&on the Fit









All I got for now

Got the car back from my body man today. To say the least I'm pleased with the outcome.

Finally changed my stock shocks after 3 years today. I recently lowered my 10 fit on swift springs and soon after I noticed the rear shocks started leaking so today I replaced the rear ones with some kyb excel-g's. Not sure if it's because they still havent settled in or what but they feel a bit stiffer then stock shocks. Also did a my transmission flush at 62,000 miles and also changed the cabin air filter. I must say, today was a fun and productive day for my baby

My cargo mat came in today! Still debating if I'm going to get the cargo cover or not, but I love that the mat matches my floor mats.

Which cargo mat did you get, the OEM version?

I would definitely get the cargo cover, comes in handy when you have groceries or anything else that you want to keep out of the sun.
