I don't think I'll ever get the full Mugen kit, I don't really like how the rear bumper has slots for a dual exhaust which I probably wouldn't ever do. I like my JDP rear diffuser too much as well lol. If I had the money, a rear JDM conversion with the J's diffuser would be sick. Maybe the Mugen side skirts one day.

I waited a while because I was not sure if I could justify the price. I was thinking of going debadged for the front with a JDP grill, but I'd get it painted SSM. In the end, it would come close to the cost of the Mugen grill anyways and I like the OEM fitment and since I have the Mugen front spoiler, it matches and flows better. Wish we had a J's grill that fits like the GDs have.

I may get some different wheels before Wekfest TX in September. If I don't I'll most likely pick up a T1R b-pipe and a RSB.

^Thanks, I'll take classy any day.

Went to a car show last Sunday, but only spectating and doing some coverage:


My friend and I finally got a chance to try out my new LED light and gave light painting a try...it's definitely not as easy as it looks lol:

Vanct, you're in Fort Worth?

Man, I'm surprised I have not run into you yet. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.

Awesome looking car man.

I like your Fit! Good job on having quality parts all around. I wish you didn't have that hole on your front bumper though

Thanks. Yeah, I'm usually driving around everywhere, especially on the weekends if there any car shows or meets.

Thanks, I try to stick with quality parts that will last, but it's not cheap.

I have yet to figure out a good fix for that hole in the bumper without having actual body work done. At one point I was thinking of applying some Bondo to the back side of it and add touch up paint over it but it still may not look right. They make little bumper plugs but they also look kind of weird. If anyone knows a good solution, please let me know.

Here's some pictures taken lately:










And a few rolling shots taken by a friend:

I want to see this thing on different wheels. Other than that I enjoy it thoroughly.

Oh believe me, I've been trying recently. I've thrown out a few fair offers but no one seems to be willing to ship wheels, as if it's unheard of thing to do lol. I've been checking a few sites that sell used JDM wheels but there's barely any in 4x100. If there are, it's usually 16" or below, crazy offsets, or something that doesn't really flow with the style I'm going for. At this point I'm about to say fk it and just buy new
