Got my in between the seat and the console pads from SickSpeed. For $20 shipped, they do what they advertise. Nice and subtle with some nice blue stitching.

Will be bringing her home and detailing all the dealer missed and closely inspecting/assessing the minor rust on the lower front corner of the drivers side front door..


On the Lot.

kudakev is that the JDP duckbill spoiler you got on there? did you paint the white mounting tab covers?

also like how you painted the rear diffuser area... is that plastidip or regular spray paint?

The spoiler that's currently on the car is a carbon duck bill that was sold by a member on here yrs back. I forget his SN but it was like slideshow and he had a 240 in his avi. But I did get the jdp spoiler and carbon splitters back from the body shop on Monday. I'll mount them later on in the summer time. I bought OE black Honda spoiler tabs for like 25 bux to use wit the spoiler. And the rear bumper section is just plastidipped. I had the jdp carbon diff piece but sold it b/c of some fitment issues.

Wow, it is Mugen day

I just finished installing my JDM Fit RS Mugen LED Rear Fog Light,
but I CONVERT it into a Fourth Brake Light

Here are the link to the DIY:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ml#post1305869


and here is The Final Products (more pictures on my DIY thread with the link above)

Please NOTE that the 2 Round RED Reflector on both side of the Mugen Under Spoiler do NOT have any light, the reason why they look like they
have light is because I use Flash Light from my camera when I took this picture !!!

Now, I can finally say, the back side is done and perfect for me

Hi Connor55, Thanks

It does NOT blink,
it is actually fog light,
the kit actually come with a COMPLETE wiring that goes to the front fuse box,
and it came with a Fog Light Switch,
plus a CONTROL BOX,
yes a CONTROL BOX,
apparently, this rear fog light can not be turn on by itself,
unless the front fog light is turn on too (at least that is what I guess
from the Japanese language on the installation manual)...

but of course I don't use those control box or the switch and the rest of the wiring, all I do is run parallel wiring to the rear brake light hehehe

if you really want,
you can somehow modified your USDM Mugen rear lower spoiler to accept this LED fog light,
there are also several replica that look almost like the Mugen one...
I see those on Rakuten Japan and they install much easier with just double tape.

That's one fantastic-looking car BMW ALPINA.

I lowered my Fit last week:

(After)

Finally got the alignment done yesterday:

I was hoping to get more out of the Eibach camber kit I bought but that's all she was giving out. I watched the alignment guy do it and he was doing it correctly so I'm not sure why it was so little. I was hoping to get over -1 out of it.

This week I'm taking the rear shocks apart to grease them up. The top bushings are making horrendous noise (they did before as well) so I picked up some Shin-Etsu grease to see if that'll help. While I'm doing that I'm installing a full LED light kit (interior and exterior).

Saturday is the big day as I'm participating in an autocross school all day long. I have plenty of autocrossing under my belt but never with a pro riding with me. I'm going to get GoPro footage of my first and last run in hopes of showing off a nice improvement!

That drop seems almost negligible. Maybe when they settle.

Thanks n0thing,
by the way, how many camber bolt per side do you use?
I used 2 camber bolt per side (total 4) and I manage to get -2.5 camber,
I could get more but the knuckle hit my Bilstein otherwise, it should go more, so unless I want to modify my Bilstein or the knuckle, I am stuck at around -2.5 camber.

I just used one on the bottom. I had read from a couple of sites that using two wasn't recommended since the bolts aren't technically the correct size for the struts.
