Hey guys just realized I never really made a mod thread for my car so I figured I would make one. Bought this new in Oct of 2013 and started modding soon after taking delivery.

First mod was the wiper mod

Then threw on some Tein S Techs along with OE window visors, Cargo Cover, Cargo Tray, Bumper Applique, OE center armrest for starters.

Had my buddy at the body shop color match a new rear wiper garnish and I painted the emblem Carbon Grey

looks nice bro. just put on my jdp lip, rear diffuser, and duckbill wing. nice setup your running.

Looks great! I don't dig chrome either, I like how you blacked it out.

BTW, you have the same 48 LED dome light panel as I do in my GD. Did you have to take the double sided tape off or did it fit without any issue? The cover wouldn't clip on for me unless I took off the double sided tape.

hi i noticed that you are in morreno valley and that is not to far from me and we should meet up one of these days. like the setup.

Nice, I'm still debating whether or not to get the mugen kit. The only thing that's holding me back is the rear since I don't like it as much but seeing you dip the chrome black makes me lean more towards getting it.

I left the tape on for insurance just trimmed it in some places to make it fit perfect.

Yup I am in Moreno Valley. Not a lot of free time I juggle lots of weekend activities.
You should try and make the Cerritos monthly Fit meet I am usually always there.
