Gosh, you keep her so shiny too! I know you probably get asked this all the time, but how comfortable are they compared to stock?

I've been contemplating on bags for a while and still haven't had the chance to ride in a car with them. I'm not looking to track my car either so as long as it doesn't break my grandpa back and isn't bouncy, I may have to give this some serious consideration

You didn't disappoint. Very nice, clean, classy look. Polish on black is a killer combo. I really hope you set this off with a retrofit one day.

Who's Fit was behind yours?

Thanks man! It was either the Mugen Or JDP lip but I'm glad I went with the Mugen. The fitment is spot on!

The ride is very close to stock. My daily driving settings are 45psi in the front bags and 40psi in the rear bags. It all depends on your bag set up though. I have the Air Runner kit made specifically for the 09+ Fit and Air Runner kits are made to have a comfortable ride. The only downside is that the kit is pretty expensive, but I didn't mind paying more for a high quality product.

Thanks! I may retrofit it in the future! I don't know much about retrofits though. How much does it generally cost to do something like this?

The Fit behind me is some guy that lives down the street from me and I always see him passing by my house lol. On my way home from my mini photoshoot, I saw his Fit parked on the street with an open space in front of him so I parked in front of him and snapped some quick pictures

$300-500 if you do it yourself, but probably $1,000+ if you have a shop/pro do it. Some who do it themselves buy a second headlight set first just in case things go wrong or if takes longer than expected, they can still drive. I didn't, but wish I did because I slightly melted one of the bottom of the headlights in the oven.

Got my stuff from retrofitsource.com, BlueBoogers on here also works there, he can pretty much tell you anything about retrofits.

Not a bad price when you DIY! I'll have to look into this.

The next thing to do is to get the rear to sit lower when aired out. Then probably gonna be tinting the windows and other little stuff after that. I pretty much have the car where I want it to be so it'll probably stay this way for a good while.

I like the look of the untinted windows as well, but tint would benefit from heat rejection and to make it harder for prying eyes to see what's in the car. I'm looking to get 35% on all 9 windows with no windshield strip. For me, it's either all windows are tinted equally or no tint at all! I'm not a big fan of different percentage tints.

Not really. I'm going to leave the tail lights as is. I may get a different set of tail lights later, but I'm cool with the OEM ones.
