Mugen Fit Photoshoot Pt.2
Thanks again for the comments guys. I was really on the verge of not getting slipstreams. Bolted them to my car and decided it looked perfect. Just the other day I parked at a local gas station. I'm used to getting dirty looks with my older Hondas. Some guy in an older restored Ford Galaxie came up to me and complimented my car. Totally blew away. I've never had a car that looked decent enough to qualify as nice.
Going to go with a run of the mill 35% tint on the side windows and visors. Also going to remove the side emblems. Also on the hunt for black center caps.

Hey--I know that my wheels are different but I've read about some of the Rotas having problems with the centercaps not fitting over the hubs. If you get some that seem to not fit over the hub, send me a pm and I'll tell you what I did to make mine fit. (the fronts were ok on mine but the back wouldn't stay on)
Ultra large diameter wheels with ultra wide, low aspect ratio tires on a Fit is getting out of hand.... It is counter productive performance wise and hard on suspensions, brakes, steering and drive train components... It is nice to see a Fit that doesn't look like a caricature of one.
DANG!!! dude i love what you've done with the car! i've got a black fit myself, haven't done much with it though... what did you do with the front bumpers? they don't look like the normal mugen front chins. i really like the rear diffuser. did you change your tail lights?
Constructive eh?
Alright, here are some things I think would set the car off:
Powdercoat the 'exhaust tips' flat black, I feel like the contrast against the gloss black would be sick as fack
Debadge the rear only leave the 'H'. This will clean it up nicely imo
Different Lug Nuts, imo blue/purple/etc. would be mucb better than the chrome (at least they look like that)

Thanks for the insight.
Tails are smoke depo LED RS's. I love my rear wiper too much to delete it, plus it serves a function in the great white north. The front and rear spoilers are regular Mugen pieces, nothing special other than some customer rock chips and scratches.
I'm buying a set of Muteki black lugs this week, the chrome ones were all I had at the time and I since got rid of my Buddy Club aluminum ones as they were stripping out.
I was planning on debading the mugen emblem on the front fenders, but now that you mention it I may take off the rear Fit emblem as well.
I've toyed with the idea of blacking out the rear exhaust garnishes and I'm 50/50 on it. They would look great blacked out to match the rest of the car, but they also would blend in too much with the rear diffuser. Might have to photoshop one of my pics to decide.
Thanks again for the comments guys!

I've been contemplating for the past week if I should get a GE8 after I saw your car. I think the black colour, matte black wheels and the Mugen full bodykit really works well together. Very well executed and definitely a head turner on the road. Kudos to you! =)
