My 09 fit Progressive thread. TW/ Stance wheels/ etc.

Not much to show but decided to make a progressive thread like others.

How it sits now.
I was planning to run lower, but i scraped(tire+lip) few times today to drive to costa mesa (~20min drive on fwy) So i think the height will stay as is.

Future plan:

-Mugen Rear
-Some sort of front lip
-CF hood
-Double din w/navigation
-Key Light (world1 keylight. Will be going to japan in a month so i'll be purchasing few)
-Roll/Pull fender.

Edit 3.16.13

Installed OEM Cup holder light to my fit using SuperBrightLED to go along with it. I had a DIY light already done but this looked very clean so installed it. Took around ~10min (mostly soldering part since space was so limited on that darn plug and if soldered too much, it won't fit in the cover.)

Nice blue light

Love the rims, they remind me a lot of a Lexus vehicles. Also enjoy the interior. Ford used to have something like it, they called it "Porno Red".

New Update:

JDM MBRO LED Tail Light straight from Japan ^-^. It was a hassle carrying it in my carry on bag for the airline. Carried it 10hours from Tokyo - LA. It was well worth it.

Dam ryu that must have been a pia! I was so anal about mine i didn't get any rest on the plane!

I wanted to carry back my JDM RS rear bumper but no way in hell i was able to. Its just sitting in my girl's room right now......and her room is not that big hahahah.

Eyy. Did you only redo your front interior red? Or the backs as well? And how much roughly did you pay? I feel this color change in a black '13 sport would look dopee

cool but apparently... the only aftermarket tailight for the GE which is made in Japan is StellarV (J's).
My new tails that replaced the StellarV is not even made in Japan

I did it myself and yes the back is done as well just like the front. Its not that hard just very time consuming.

exactly true! I do like what I have now and have gotten lots of props from it. I guess I was just spoiled with stellarv's perfect fit and direct plug and play, I have to mod 2 connectors on each tail to make it work http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws...0a9f0a0c_7.jpg


so what's next on your list
