Random pictures taken with an actual DSLR.


















Thank you Flickr for ruining photo quality. Either way, enjoy!

Looks really good with the RPF1s.

Flickr is pretty much top notch when it comes to maintaining image quality. These look great.

This has probably been asked, but where did that grill come from? I've had my mugen grill for almost four years now and I'm bored. Haha

True, it's much better than Photobucket. They just look better through iPhoto.
Thanks!

It's off the JDM Fit Shuttle for the 2012+ bumper. Had to import it.

I feel you. It's the emblem on the hood, license plate bolt, exhaust tip, and the Circuit Soul sticker on the back. I'm liking how it sits right now, but I do know what you mean. I'm deciding how to simplify it down a bit, just not sure how to go about the process. Any recommendations?

What I would do (obviously take that with a grain of salt, my cars suck) is:

-Remove Honda badge
-Remove canards....and replace with bigger, more obnoxious ones (IE: DMax Universal Canards)
-Remove side moldings
-Remove boso tip.

Always keep CS sticker.

I also like the blacked out tips on the Mugen rear.

Hm, interesting thoughts.

-Mixed feelings about the Honda emblem, it was an impulse from the start.
-I like the idea of bigger canards, but I don't want to go too crazy when the motor is only intake / exhaust.
-The body line that the molding follows is only prominent in low light, or else it just disappears and blends into the car. Plus, it's saved it from a few door dings already.
-I'm debating on either leaving it empty or doing something different, not sure.

Great ideas tho, I'll take them into consideration on what to do from here.

I personally like the car as it sits.

The only thing I dont like and this applies to most all the Fits is the color matched mirror caps.

Makes the mirror seem large and out of place.

Maybe a light shade of tint all around also.

Fair points. Bigger canards can go on any/all cars, as long as the rest of the car is styled accordingly. I was going to get MASSIVE canards for my car, however I've abandoned modding it....and am leaving them for the next car I play with.

Black mirrors have crossed my mind, especially after seeing your setup. I still have my Spoon rep mirrors sitting in the garage if I decide to go with the black mirrors, but I think I'm going to leave it for now.
It used to be tinted 35% all around, but I like the fishbowl better for the time being.

I did some measurements with the DMax specs and I feel like it'd be a bit too much. I'll leave it for now until I make a complete decision, I don't wanna drill more holes into the bumper than I have to.

Love the car too, but I'm with mike410. It seems like it's stuck somewhere between Honda's new styling initiatives (projectors and grille) and a track car (rpf1's, canards, race seat) . Maybe commit to one style, or at least tone the other one down.
