Well the one i got, which was a second hand from someone in the forum, didnt fit. The guy said he used it on his 09 fit, but when i went home and installed it, one of the metal mounts were way off. I guess there was a slight change from 09 to 10 in where the mounts are located for the exhausts. But on the box that it came with said 2009-2010 honda fit GE8 so i was confused. I got it mounted and used a clothes hanger temporarily and brought it to a exhaust shop and they welded a new mount for $30 and now its positioned perfectly.

thanks for the input, yeah idk if ill do the trunk or hood, probaby just the roof. I looked into the eibach prokit, but ive read about sagging, and bumpy rides. and the T1rs are only 175 with free shipping. I was also thinking about the megan coilovers, but its out of the budget right now.

i got the yellow film from ebay, i think the seller was R-vinyl. It hasnt burned in the middle like some people have, and it was pretty cheap. The taillight tints, i bought from a wholesale website that sold vinyl film, but i forgot where i got it. it was a roll of 15" x 10 yards and cost me around 30 dollars.

intake should be installed by next week. i dont see any negative effects on my milage, if anything ive noticed a bit of an improvement, but not much.
also, any suggestions on springs? i was thinking t1-r springs and swift springs, but the t1-rs are cheaper, but the swifts are higher in price. One thing i like about the swifts tho is that ill be able to keep my stock suspension for a while compared to the t1-r's where i would eventually have to upgrade to coilovers.
also wondering if the t1-r V.2 springs are bouncy

updated pictures coming soon. I painted the rims, added a short ram intake, and painted emblems.
still need to get windows tinted, get window visors, paint rear diffuser, and need to buy lowering springs.

I just took the license plate mount that came with the car, flipped it upside down, then zip tied it to the lower grill.
Swifts are my first choice in springs. wheres the cheapest place to get them?

its pretty difficult to do if you have no experience in vinyl application. the curves on the taillights make it even harder.
I did it by myself tho, and it would have been a lot easier if i had someone hold the hair dryer for me, but it was 1am when i did it and everyone was sleeping haha

Update
Went to 85 degree bakery in Irvine and decided to take some shots before I left.
And sorry for the dirty car, its been raining a lot in California lately
The rims were painted with gunmetal gray paint and then added a pinstripe vinyl for the lip. I don't think ive seen anyone else with the same rims


Painted the H emblem on the back and front with left over gunmetal gray paint.






sorry for the dark blurry night shots.
