I am iffy on the new Si. It feels like a half measure now with the new type R available to the US. If anything I would look at the Sport/Touring Hatchback version. It may be down a few horses from the Si but its the same platform as the Type R so you know it will get a lot of support performance wise and cosmetically.
just my opinion though.
You're not wrong.
The Type R is intriguing too.
IDK why but the new Civics are starting to do it for me.
I have heard in the past that you had to purchase the bracket separately is it now just included with the bar?
there are two versions. the usdm one comes with the bracket to lower the brake reservoir. it is not necessary and the bar will fit over the reservoir, however you will need to remove the bar if u need to change your brake fluid.

I don't know about JDM vs USDM. The bar will hit the brake resivoir if not lowered. The instructions are in Japanese only. So I think that it's definitely a myth that people say the US bar comes with this or the Jdm bar comes with that. The bar came directly from Japan and blah, blah, blah. Take it for what it is.
If anyone disagrees cool. I'm not arguing on a stupid forum over he said she said car parts.

Agreed, liking the new gen a lot...

Really considering looking at a Hatchback Sport if I can find one with a 6 speed. Might be a bad idea though for my wallets sake. If I can get the payment similar to my fit payment...we might have a problem. Only complaint on the sport trim...is no Sunroof option =(

Cool. I think this has been discussed previously that without the lowering bracket you will have to remove the bar to access the resi. Not sure where one would order a "usdm" cusco bar vs a "jdm" bar though. Have you noticed any improvement in handling?
As for me....I went and ordered my audio upgrades...New Kicker 2-way speakers for the front doors, some kicker subs and a kenwood mono amp. Keeping details vague for now since its really dependent if they fit where I want to or not. Amp comes in today (thanks same day amazon prime). Speakers come sometime next week since they are shipping from the east coast.
Really the audio stuff is last thing I can do to the Fit besides wrap the roof and get a shark fin antenna.

So far very slightly. I really haven't tested the car out seriously. I don't think theres a difference between a US vs JDM bar. Most likely people don't pay attention to the parts that come with the bar and throw the bracket away, LOL!
Anyways... I want to wrap my roof as well and then get the Mugen front lip. Also that Beatrush under panel should come in next week. I plan on hookin y'all up with a shit ton of pix when I install it. I think its going to be off in the front because of the USDM bumper. I'll see how it goes.
Got my new tires on. BFG G-Force Comp2 A/S 205/50r16s. So far so good. Definitely filled in wheel well more, but there is still a small gap. Yet to see if I rub while turning on rough bumps. Got around 40k ish from the stock dunlops.
Been really liking this splitter lately. Well I ordered a CTR shift knob since my aluminum spoon one got boring and the 5 speed sticker fell out : (
It looks good. Maybe add some side skirt extensions to side skirts to help balance out the look. The front is look a little more "heavy" with the flow of the car. Just a thought.

yeah i was thinking the same so i offered some guy locally on their password jdm side splitters that i used to have. So hopefully i can buy it back.
Firstly, I apologize for a lot of the things I said awhile back, it was a rough time for me.
I have the car in my possession now, we chose to keep it instead of it going to a salvage lot. I think it was a $800 or so difference, so it was worth it to me. The only downside is that at the lot it was being kept at, they used a forklift to move it around and they lost one of my rear springs so now it'll be a pain in the a** to sell the coilovers or get another spring. If anyone wants BuddyClub N+ without one rear spring, hit me up
The Part Out is still up, check my signature.
Got a good job, starting tomorrow, and I've been steadily saving for another car. I know I was head over heels with that M3 and I said I'd buy it... Well, like I said it was a rough time for me and I was being unrealistic :/. I plan on eventually buying a 240sx hatchback for a daily and eventually doing a ca18det or sr20det swap.
Anyways, it's really sad to see the Fit sitting in my driveway in its current condition. It has more front end damage that I thought, but I still want to eventually rebuild it myself for track purposes. Then, there will be nothing holding it back from pure fun
I won't be very active in this thread anymore, at least for a long while. Thank you guys for such a fun ride, it was good getting to know everyone and their Fits. Keep up the good work and, of course, Stay Humble Stay True
I installed the under panel. As I figured I needed to adjust the install because of the USDM front bumper. Not too hard of an install. I did get the wrong bolt kit though. I have extra bolts so it didn't effect me.
