Cipher's 12' Sport Mod Thread.
I searched for an old thread but couldn't find that I made one for my car.
So yeah. On the rare chance I sign in here I want somewhere I can dump my current mods without starting new threads each time.
2012 Sport, Metal Metallic I think the paint is called. Metallic Grey for normal people.
-Lowered on the Eibach pro kit springs.
-T1R axle back.
-Thule Rack.
-T1R short Shifter.
-Blox 490 Gunmetal Shift knob.
-Suede T1R shift boot.
-Takeda Cold air intake (Summer only).
-PIAA Headlights, Currently 4000k "100/110w" bulbs. They use a special gas and uprate the lights even though they only draw the usual 55/60 or w/e it is.
-40" Light bar from china. Uses the CREE Led's that are a higher quality LED. We'll see how long it lasts.
-Rally Armour mud flaps I got for free.
-Buddy club knockoff rims for winter
This is before my light bar.
And my lightbar!

Bought some washers and screws from the hardware store and drilled into the bumper edges that are in the wheel well. Its pretty sturdy although I ripped out one of the rear ones and had to re-install it when I backed over the mudflap and it got caught between my tire and the 4-5 inches of harder snow. Considering it took the weight of the car moving backwards to tear out Im quite happy with how its mounted.

Still quite useful but Im loosing a bit of distance on them. Even if my high beams cant touch the bar as it is haha.
I made this crappy instagram video after first installing it. This was the notch that aimed them way too low.

Also both pictures are with the backup HID's we keep at the house. I burnt out both my yellow PIAA's and had to run these for a few weeks while I got off my ass to buy my current white PIAA's. They at least have a shroud/cutoff so they were kinda like a low beam. Some light is better then nothing lol.

^ it's like you turned on the sun.
I like those yellow PIAAs alot too if I didn't know i'd get pulled over in 5 minutes. I think i'll try the white ones next bulb change.
What's the dimensions on that light bar and where'd you get it? Want to see where it will fit on possible project car or maybe just get a few smaller ones instead. Either will go with a pair of big PIAA lamps or these newfangled things.

love the light bar…
just my .02 i think that would be better fit on an 4x4 off road vehicle than your Fit. Unless you are lighting up a football field or something then in that case good on you. What exactly are you using it for?

and please don't get me wrong.. this is what is great about car enthusiasts.. they make them their own. which in this case I am pretty positive there is no other Fit with that kind of Lumens on their ride! lol

My room mate is bringing them in direct from manufacture so I got a good deal and I like how it looks.
BUT It does see practical use! Im up in Canada so winter I only see daylight (today for example) 7:48 AM to 5:49 PM. So night time highway driving I can turn this guy on if I wont be blinding anyone else and enjoy seeing everything.
Even in summer with our long days I like to do all my big road trips from Alberta to BC through the middle of the night. Although it is illegal to run this light in BC I doubt I'd get hassled at 1-2 am unless I hit a cop with it haha.
OH and Wanderer, I still haven't gotten around to modifying the brackets. I've been lazy and super busy with getting my mustang torn down to get my new chassis into the garage.
The lightbar is just a 40 inch double row 240 watts my room mate bought direct from china. They're one of the better non-rigid ones out there and are pretty good for what you pay. Shipping is the only real killer though so bulk is a must when ordering.

Hey fellow albertan! Light bar is insane, too bad you can't use it when there's traffic around lol!
I think I've seen your ride cruising around the area, I live in the north end if you've ever seen me..

My buddy lived near me too and also had a fit up until about a year ago. It was black, same roof rack, and winters were a orange-red-rust kinda color and he had XXR's for the summer.
Not a ton of modded fits around but plenty being old people driven haha.
Love those tail lights! I like the lines of the stock tails but those are fancy! Maybe stop by Nameo timmies this summer on Thursday nights? Theres always a huge group of friends that meet there for coffee. Im in Spruce Grove now so im not out every night anymore. And if its warm Ill be in the mustang >.>

Sweet I live really close to namao so I could definitely come out on Thursdays when you guys start your meets. I'm pretty sure it was your fit I saw at that parking lot lol.
Yeah, I've only seen yours and a couple others scattered around the city, most are stock around here so I get excited when I see another modded one don't think I ever saw your buddy's though.
Would be cool to have an AB meet this summer if people are around.
