Thanks! The link shows me only a search page in Bernardi's web page, not a result of a search. But now I know what i'm looking for, a bumper spoiler. Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Can you take a picture of looking at the mirrors inside the car? Looks super cool bit just want to see what the view actually looks like.
Thanks.

Don't have to sell me on that.

Where are your winglets? What kind/where did you get them?

^^the winglets I got from S2Carbonworks.com. They are a knockoff brand and a lot cheaper than the arc winglets....unfortunately, they won't mount up to the base bumper b/c of the inward curvature at the bottom edge. I think they will mount to the sport bumper because it has a sharp angle at the lower edges. That probably isn't clear....it's hard to explain. These would also mount up to the side skirts by the rear wheel if anybody wanted to use them as a side splitter (again, not gonna work on the base....no skirt).

Check em out...if you like them I'll cut you a deal on mine since I can't use them.

@lungfish and krimson,
I will as soon as I get the glass mounted...maybe Monday. I'm working all day today.


@anyone interested int the PRM intake,

Mirrors are in and pics are up. Initial thoughts...there is an extreme amount of adjustability. As I stated before, side-to-side lateral view is retained and vertical view was compromised for aerodynamics...I'll let you judge from the pics:

The outer edge looks funny in this pic b/c I over-adjusted the mirror instead of adjusting the mirror housing itself...this is an easy fix but it shows how much adjustability there is....left/right/down/up

notice any increase in MPG since there's less resistance? hahaha.. kidding

Looks really good though. I'm surprise with the amount that you see. I was skeptical about it since I thought you were taking away your visibility...

That's some serious mirrors. Puts a European flair to the Fit. Sweet.

LOL...that's a good thin, right?

Ninja edit: the carbon shells are so light weight...unfortunately, I never weighed the OEM part.

Proud to say...no blind spots on the drivers side....however, I never trust my passenger side mirror when you can just turn your head

It's a good thing.
I just watched this and it came to mind for some bizzare reason.

YouTube - Proffessor Layton and the malignant growth Part 5

starts around 3:13 I think.
