Protint in Elizabeth. Did great work and I paid $100 for the entire car, with a lifetime warranty.

And yes that was me! Saw your fit and did a double take lol

Sorry for the late response. But yes I did! And I used black exterior trim screws. They can be found at any autoparts store. then just lined them up the way I wanted, taped them on the car, drilled the holes and mounted them!

Most recent pic of the fit. Unfortunantly my crx has been getting all the love lately. Next couple of months ill be working on the fit again, since I finished the crx project. Plan is to pick up a new set of wheels (messed two up bad this winter...fit BLOWS in the snow) OEM hoodbra, hopefully jdm mugen front lip, and maybe some mugen floor mats.

I live in northern Michigan and had no problems with my fit the winter I could go anywhere an AWD Subaru could go. It all depends on the driver, that was with the stock tires as well. The only time i had an issue was when I had a 3 ft. snow drift across my road.

Stock tires= easier in the snow.

the stock tires are 185 width vs mine that are low profile and 215 width. Plus the fact that I don't have the tpms sensors in so I cannot disable the vsa. Compared to driving the crx with winter tires this thing sucks!

Thanks man!

And yeah, going to pick up an STI lip this week. It needs some mods to fit, but for $52 I cant complain lol. Was going to get the jdp lip, even put a deposit out for it, but didn't like the look.

I put a STI lip on my 2012 MR Fit I like it and glad I did it any fiberglass lip would be destroyed. I have Eibach Prosprings and scrap all the time with the lip. Shorten mine and painted MR. Not a good picture.

Shit! Why did you have to post that Now you made my decision to get a visor or a hood bra even harder lol! The sti lip looks awesome which is why I wanna do it. How much modifications did you have to do to secure it? and what did you use?

thanks man! car looks great btw

I like the visor had bras always seem like a pain of worrying about water getting under neath. My car is in the ad on the Zeta Products website.

I cut my STI lip short on both sides try and cut at a angle with a Dremel. Also cut where it raises on each side to curve it downward. I put the car up on Rhino ramps and used self tapping screws and drilled a couple other ones where it curves. Seems to be holding up good by still scraps going in and out of certain driveways.

Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. Im gunna leave mine full length when I get it and see what happens. Self tapping screws is what I figured. And I know what you mean lol I scrape on everything now. Atleast its polyurethane so It wont crack.

I checked for that visor, looks like its out of stock, I have his armrest and I love it. A lot more space than the factory one.

Looks good! What I did with my STi lip was take a heat gun to it to mold it into that gap thats near the outer part of the bottom grill.
