Might've found what I needed for something I've wanted to do for a long time: Custom grille. I've never liked either of Honda's options for grilles, so here's hoping the stock one I found doesn't sell so I can use it as a base. I haven't seen one go for this cheap before, and I haven't seen any Fits in junk yards at all, so here's hoping.

Progress springs don't lower it much. 1-1.25" or so up front and hardly anything in back. It looks lowered in person but it's by no means slammed. It's a budget autocross setup so it's more about performance than looks.

^ if your just looking for a sportier set up then I think its fine, but a lot of guys here look for a visual difference and measure by that.

Too each their own

My NOAH car cover all season cover failed and allowed all kinds of dirt and material through it during out last rain storm. I have mailed it in for a warranty return and should see something in the next week.

Gave it a quick wash just to get the residue off the roof and hood



I hate having my car sit outside uncovered but will just give it a quick rinse if it gets too dirty

^hows the fitment? I ask cause Mine isn't perfect. There are slight gaps on the left and right edges just past where the bolts go in. Its not perfectly curved to the top of the hatch. I think jdp will help me out with that though.

Its not much but its just enough that the tape wont make contact with the hatch on those outer corners...
