Tfc is truefitcrew. Join them on fb, make an account with an avatar if you dont want to be on Facebook for real. Sadly this forum is dying, its been like 4-5 of the same guys posting here for the last year. Lots of good archived info here though

Yeah it seems like TFC is the go-to for up-to-date information, posts, and pictures. Yes, this forum is still incredibly useful for finding DIYs, threads, and pictures, but Facebook allows for real-time talking and organizing. Kinda nice. It's definitely worth creating a Facebook account just to join.

Any pics of this? I'm still considering the visual Garage shark fin to get rid of the RC-car looking antenna.
good luck with that. the guy also has the same thread in the TFC page and I already reached out to him about the Modolu piece...he wont ship because he has no boxes and he sucks with communication.

I've been on this forum for many many years (different screen name) and its definitely quiet. TFC is not a bad FB page...Lot of nice builds, good people, handful of knowledgable people on the page and we get to connect with fit owners all over the country/world in real time. Its more convenient.

And with this forum not being responsive to tablets/phones, I only sign on here when im on my desktop @ work.

Haha I thought about a DIY but I forgot to take pictures. Its actually super easy its just really time consuming, thats the hardest part. If you are serious about making one I can scan and message you my template.

Tools needed:
black acrylic sheet 1/8 " thick. 12Hx24W via amazon (about $20)
Sharp box cutter (blades)
24" long straight edge (aka ruler)
Dremel with sanding bits
sand paper (220 & 150)
drill gun or drill press with 3/4" thick drill bit or step bit
Patience
It consists of 3 cuts and using the Dremel to make the rounded edges. and sanding of edges.

Build time 2-3 hours depending on level of distraction.



----Also yeah the forums are on its last leg, has anyone heard from BMW Alpina recently? Dude vanished.

There is so much valuable information here, that FB groups won't ever have. If you are here to just shoot the breeze and look at cool car inspiration its fine, but that resource of information on parts, builds, DIYS, trial and error dies with the forum.

Also I just generally hate FB. I did make a IG finally, although I use my alias and I don't have any of my personal info on there. Even made a brand new email so I couldn't be found by friends of family haha

I hope the forum stays up even if the activity stops. Theres way too much valuable info here that would get lost.

As far as joining FB goes, why not just use an alias there as well? All you need to do is join tfc anyway haha

Thanks! Please send template if possible. This sounds exactly how I would've made it. How is it attached to the car? Using the license plate hardware? Also did you put anything between the plastic and the paint/trunk area to protect the paint?

Also yeah Alpina was getting super busy at work last I heard...but that was over a month ago and he was a daily poster for a LONG time.

Planning on getting windshield tint done. Was quoted <$50 for lifetime warranty tint. I will admit it will really only be useful at early morning and sunset. If I have time this weekend I plan to get it done and will take pics.

Picked up my BC Racing Coilovers today! Cant wait!

The wheels are the OZ Alleggerita. 17x7 +37. Hopefully I get my suspension early enough in the day, I can put them on and give a review with pics.

^^ Nice looking Fit!!

For any of you who replaced a cracked fog light, how did you do it? Did you have remove the bumper? Or is it possible to just remove the wheel or under bumper splash guard?
