I had a busy last few days..

Installed my Mugen license plate bolts





Removed my OEM visors to prepare for installing my Mugen visors, ended up breaking one of the rears since it was so stuck to the door itself



I also found a solution for my Pioneer bluetooth mic, wasn't feeling how it was installed

Before:



After:



I did some digging and realized that you could use the base mount for a LED light that I found at a hardware store. I just removed the mics mounting bracket and drilled a small hole and now it's nicely tucked away and no longer blocking my cup holders

Hi,
No, I don't have to adjust the exhaust. it fit perfectly
and that exhaust is just OEM exhaust with a Honda S2000 tips

@Modulo @Burzpaw here's the link of the seller oldfai831 | eBay

Shipment was very quick and the antenna came with copper wire and all that.
Installation needed a little workaround though, since you have to make your own template to measure the placement.

Burzpaw i couldnt find your post regarding this question, but i've received a notification, must be a bug
kloopon,
Which specific one did you get? I see several models, but it sounds like you didn't order one specifically for the Fit. I was planning to get the visual garage one that's painted to match the car, but is much more expensive. This looks like a really nice option.
Thanks,
Dustin

Finally finished my exhaust system today!
Had a few issues with clearance on the T1R B pipe hitting the bottom of the car but I sorted it out with extra hangers and a longer hanger support welded on.

Booty dyno is feeling a slight gain of torque in the midrange.
The sound is a nice deep and loud tone.

I am satisfied with my decisions and thankful for everyones help along the way!

Hey Dustin,
I've searched my purchase history just to be sure, but it was no longer available. But i can assure you when i bought the antenna there wasnt any description that says it fits Honda FIT.I believe this is universal, just double check your base antenna width and length and compare it with the shark fin's hole at the bottom ( the hole size is in the description ). The hole is supposed to be 5,5 cm wide and 10 cm long, whereas our antenna is like 3,5 cm wide and less than 10 cm long.
Yeah VG costs like 100 bucks? But you can order a matched paint with your car and this one is not. Thats why ive ordered the black one instead of white cause i knew this will not match.

Other than that, the fitment was perfect, no gap and holds very well til now
The link is not the same as the one i bought but the antenna is exactly like this
good luck bro, this would be a very good option for you i am sure!

Fun weekend

Hey guy I don't post here much but I'd like to start

Got a couple parts this past week and have been installing them one by one.

So I got a chance to take pictures of the boxes and the after install pics. I was too excited to remember doing a before and after photoshoot and video shoot): which I regret. Especially on my exhaust..

Anywho this is what I got.

OEM Honda visors
OEM Honda hood deflector
Injen CAI
Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust

What have I installed so far?
Thursday - Exhaust (20minutes)
Saturday - Visors (1hr)

To be completed?
Monday - Injen CAI (can't wait)
Monday - Hood deflector (if it arrives)

I will add pictures and a sound clip of the exhaust but I know most of you already know what it sounds like.

I will add pictures when I get on the computer.

I'd also like to give Waiz a shoutout. He was very cool about giving me advice on the exhaust choice. I saw his YouTube sound clip and was asking him questions. Thank you sir and I really like your fit man.

Also I've literally watched every honda fit video on YouTube and I strongly believe there should be wayyyyy more. All I ever do is watch Honda Fit videos and Instagram posts. You can even ask my gf lol

AEM UEGO Installed


I used a Modified Garmin Portable Friction Dashboard Mount
along with the Auto Meter 2204 Mounting Cup to mount the AEM UEGO,
This way I don't have to drill on the dashboard,...
I also do not want to put the AEM UEGO on top of the steering column
because it will distract my view to the RPM and Speedometer,
so I put it on the left side near the small side window...

This AEM UEGO looks Hi Tech hahaha


Now,
I just need more money to buy Boomslang Harness, AEM F/IC, Larger Fuel Injector and Higher Flow Fuel Pump
before I am ready to buy Sprintex Supercharger...
Hmmm... I got to work harder

Finally got around with installing my rear spacers. Had to add a 5 mm spacer so the oem sstuds would clear the wheel to the 11 mm spacer. So I have +16 mm to et42 wheels making that 22 offset rear. No rubbing that I can tell on swifts. No mexipoke either.

I don't want to install anything on the A-Pillar, since I worry if the airbag deployed (KNOCK ON WOOD), it would become a projectile hahaha...

beside, I don't plan to have the AEM UEGO Meter forever,
once (like don't when hahaha),...
once I had money and finished with tuning for Sprintex,
I would take out the AEM UEGO meter and hide the wiring to under the dashboard since I buy it only so I can connect it
to AEM F/IC for Logging the Air to Fuel Ratio during tuning...

now I left it there so it kinda remind me to work harder so I can get
Sprintex, tune, be done, and no longer had that AEM UEGO with all that wire on my dashboard

Thanks for the link! I'd be fine with the black also. I think it would make for a nice contrast with my silver paint.
