Arrow Project Mad Panda - My 2010 Taffeta White GE8 Build

Before anything else, I would like to give props to this forum. I have been here for a week and have been able to find
things very easy since you guys do a good job of keeping things organized.

A little background on the car, I picked it up last Sunday, May 12th and it's a 2010 Sport AT with pretty low miles for almost a 3 year old car. Overall in the week of ownership I have really enjoyed it and look forward to keeping it for awhile. This car is my daily and I normally carpool with 4 people total in my car so I can't go too crazy with the suspension or wheel & tire setup.

Engine:
Injen CAI
Apex-I Throttle Controller
Mobil 1 synthetic oil & Mobil 1 Oil filter
Mugen Exhaust
Mugen Oil cap (black version)
Mugen Radiator cap
Mugen brake fluid reservoir cover
Stock resonator removed

Suspension:
Tanabe DF210 Springs
KONI STR.T shocks
Cusco Front Strut bar
Progress Rear Sway bar

Brakes
Wilwood DPHA 4-piston front calipers & pads
R1 slotted & drilled rotors
Motul RBF 600

Wheels/Tires:
Flat Black SSR Type-F's 16x7 (+42) with limited edition center caps
KYO-EI 5mm spacers (rear only)
Continental ContiSportContact2's 195-50-16
KYO-EI black lug nuts
Gorilla black wheel locks

Exterior:
Mugen front lip
Mugen rear lip
Mugen door visors
Mugen Crystal Black front grille
Mugen license plate bolts
2013 Sport Headlights
DEPO LED Tailights
Window tint (35% front windows, 20% rest)
Rear bumper vinyl garnish
Blox shorty antenna
Roof wrapped in gloss black vinyl

Interior:
Mugen Milano Red mirror cover
Mugen Floor mats
OEM Cargo cover
OEM Cargo mat
OEM Cargo net
OEM AT Leather shift knob
Sport Pedals
Full LED bulb conversion
Zeta center console
OEM Door sills
Aftermarket dead pedal
2013 Black sport shifter cover

Misc:
SSR license plate frame
DRL fuse removed
Basix Magic Shade Super Jumbo
NOAH all-season car cover
LED License plate bulbs
Valet key
Replaced inside hatch liner plastic
Replaced scratched guage cluster (twice lol)

2015 setup with Wilwood DHPA calipers, Mugen visors, and Mugen license plate bolts











Closeup of the Wilwoods, very happy with the upgrade



January 2015 setup:

Starting out with my new front, you can really see how distinct the new headlights are. I am very happy with the end result





Straight front shot



One of my favorite mods, my Mugen grille



Side shot showing how far the Mugen front extends



My SSR's



I am very happy with the side view now that I have a front and rear lip on the car. Prior I always felt that the car did not look even.



I also took the opportunity to wash my engine bay



The great rear end with the Mugen rear



My fitment and a little peek of my Mugen exhaust



Closeup of the Mugen rear emblem



Lastly before the sun went down with my taillights on

Thanks, I originally wanted to go with RPF1's but when I jumped on the chance to buy these wheels instead.

They are ridiculously light with the tires installed compared to the OEM's

I agree, I already like the exterior of the car from the factory so I won't be doing much.

Thanks, this is my first white color and I really like the fact that the car stays cooler inside than other colors do.

Little update, ordered the OEM cover and was surprised that it was a pretty legit Kimberly Clarke Evolution cover

This is not the cheesy OEM covers that you get with most cars, this is a really good aftermarket one but it still has the Fit logo on it. I was also worried that it would be blue like the one in the brochures but as you can see it's just a mellow sliver.
