As a moderator in the FF FB group, if most of us have moved on to FaceBook, I'm not seeing it. Just a bunch of spammers posting weird porn that I have to delete or lazy people posting the same questions that have been asked ∞ times here.

 

We just had a small talk about how a lot of honda enthusiast gravitate towards white hondas. I think its a nostalgia thing, rooting in the old type r days. Also again I agree that its easier to see mods on white cars. A lot of cars today have black trim pieces on the body, but on black cars you don't even notice them.

I think honda fans and white cars will go hand in hand for many years to come.

 

Back on topic!

Got what I ordered from rhdJapan a little over a week ago, only took about 10 days total from original order for them to ship the box from Japan









They also threw in a free Mugen desktop calendar with my order!

 

I just wrote a DIY with step by step pictures on how to install JDM Fit RS Mugen Rear Under Spoiler,

What do you guys think?

 

bad ass! 10char

 

here i am thinking u ordered something crazy. nice pick up nonetheless. how much was the shipping after all?

 

That is a really cool Mugen rear!

I think shipping was $41 with DHL, they shipped it on a Thursday and I got it on a Saturday

That should be my last purchase for awhile now I need to detail the car in the spring

 

Beautiful, now you just gotta get to the front end!!

 

@bmwalpina, I love the takeros rear wing add on!

 

ALPINA, I like the rear, but IMO it just accentuates how huge the OZ are.

 

what happens to the odometer?!? I'm about to buy these HELIUM wheels, they haven't exploded on the OP yet have they? I'm rolling in a 2012 base (alabaster silver)

what do you guys think?

 

I always wondered about the reliability of dealers like rhdjapan. If I had money, I'd be all over that Toda pulley kit they have on there.

 

Thanks Guys,


Thanks connor55, the USDM Mugen front spoiler only work for pre facelift Honda Fit Bumper, and since mine is 2013, the only Mugen front spoiler that work is the JDM Fit Shuttle Mugen front spoiler, and I personally think it make the car really look like a mini van which is the Fit Shuttle is..., of course I can buy a 2011 USDM Fit bumper and install USDM Mugen front, but then it make my car look... pre facelifted
and I want my car to look like a 2013 hehehe
so I am happy with my current Modulo Lips



Hi FittinglyFittedFit, Thanks, I also love the takero's rear wing lips,
actually my current look was inspired by takeros's car:






Thanks mike410b,
actually that is the exact look that I am looking for,
in real world, the 18in oz don't look that big
and I do want to make it look larger
to FIT and FILL better with the line of the fender,

plus, now my car had little fender gap, lowered,
and yet it still retain almost stock like ground clearance
due to the tall wheel/tire, which is very practical for my daily drive.
I don't want to scrape whenever I go with small wheel and lowered car.

I understand that small wheel would be better for acceleration,
due to our weak power plant
but my priority for my modification is for "looks"
and hopefully when budget allow,
I can finally buy a Sprintex Supercharger to over come the weak power plant

Please take note that the current modern performance model from Honda are now wearing large wheel,
for example the latest upcoming Civic Type R are now wearing 19in from factory.
actually
I already bought (one) new Honda Accord Coupe (pre 2012) 19in HFP wheel for test fitting purpose,
I need 19in so it can clear my plan 380mm front brake rotor,

but just 2 days ago I got my first tire bubble from hitting a pothole,
and my current tire are 40 profile,
I imagine a 35 stretch profile would be even easier to get tire bubble (on the sidewall), and since this car is a daily driver,
I don't think I can afford the downtime,
so I just decided to scrap the plan to go 5 lugs conversion and 19in,
and stick with the current 18in wheel and 4 lugs.

This mean my plan to use 380mm brake rotor would not work too,
so I have to go back to 355mm or 350mm rotor
which mean now the inside surface of the rotor will
most likely hit/rub the lower control arm,
which mean I need to space out the wheel,
which mean I need to change my tire from current 225/40-18 (barely rubbing) to smaller 215/40-18...

I just ordered
a pair of 215/40-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport from TireRack yesterday...
I am going to put this for front pair,
later when the rear worn out then I will switch to 215 also...

the tires should be here this Friday

Look at this Civic Type R, I think it is gorgeous with 19in wheel,
too bad I can not have a 19in wheel (with "STRETCH" 35 profile) on my daily driven Fit
unless I want/prepare to buy new tires every few months or so

 

Your speedometer will state the wrong MPH, the tire won't explode lol

On the 350z forum alot of us use them. They sell everything in Yen so as long as the Yen drops to your currency you can score

 

Washed, waxed and added jdm emblems today

 

Looking good,

I need to wash my car too

 

No I mean you gotta do the JDM front end just like takero

 

Oh, now I got it hahaha...

No, no way...
I read one person do it here to a pre face lifted JDM front,
and it is complicated and some parts is not readily available,
and other headache... and lots of body paint job...
and well. bla bla bla hahaha...

no... I know our USDM front is not as pretty as JDM front,
but I think I am ok...

no thanks hahaha

unless... ah no... still no....

 

I think your car is the most grown up, well put together car on this forum. Everything fits together perfectly and was well thought out and executed.

I don't even like big wheels but they fit the theme. I know you have a central theme in mind and that's why the car is coming together as well as it is.

 

Hi Wanderer,
wow, Thanks for your kind words Sir,
I really appreciate it
