Looks nice.. Similar route to how I am going.. 2014 taffeta white ge8 here ..
Very interested in how you did the vinyl.. What color/finish.. And did you do it yourself or get it done for you? Trying to figure out what size vinyl is needed to cover that front area
Any close up shots of the vinyl? Curious how the vinyl ends and how the line looks
I'm also in the process of getting the red jdm emblems and the rs badge.. Probably get the front rs badge as well
P.s. Nice accord.. Had a 99 green integra before my fit as well

Thanks, great minds think alike.
As for the vinyl, I will be honest it does have some rough areas. If you get within a foot you see the wrinkles and such. It was just an experiment because I didn't want spray the bumper black, this way I can remove it.
My advice is purchase some 3M di-noc brand carbon fiber vinyl. The vinyl I used is not official 3m di-noc. The di-noc is really thin and can wrap around corners much easier than the ebay brand I ordered.
Also if you know a website where to buy legit jdm red badges I would love to know. Its hard knowing who has authentic badges vs knock offs. Thanks.

I thought about spraying the bumper, but with my luck I would screw it up...so I chose vinyl wrap. I plan on eventually buying a jdp front lip and will remove the vinyl.

The picture makes it look way darker than in real life. The tint shop I used didn't use %, but its dark (not limo dark) on the back windows and medium on the front two.
The back are dark but you can still kinda see through them during the day.

Thanks, Ebay Lebra...be warned they are custom made to order, so it will take about a month for you to get it. Message the dealer beforehand.

However, I know they can be usually purchased from ebay. They are the stock jdm taillights that come on the jdm Jazz.
Just be warned its not a direct plug-n-play, although there is a really good DIY on youtube to help.

Although it is only fits the 12-13 GEs.
It is a custom bracket. I didn't want to drill holes into my bumper. so I bought a straight metal bracket from home depot and drilled holes and ran hardware through it using the existing holes and hardware from the stock license plate holder. Then I purchased the bell tilt license plate and attached that to the straight bracket.
Here is a close up shot.
Also it is always angled but you can adjust the angle with an allen wrench.

I purchased them from Rakuten global market through the seller Desir de vivre. It is the modulo front lip kit for the jdm fit shuttle.
Although it is only fits the 12-13 GEs.

looking good! my fit seems to be following a very similar route to yours.
What kind of vinyl did you use for the fogs? i have yellow vinyl, but wondering if I should buy the thicker stuff from headlight armor
also whats the design on the rear bumper? or is that shadows of some kind playing tricks on my eyes
