Thank you.

It is the mid-sized one. I think 2.5" (I think). I cut it so it tapers on the sides 14" to the full amount to the middle.

 

Mt front bumper started to sag and it developed a gap between the fender and bumper. Here's how I fixed it:

There's piece of adhesive foam stuck inside the bumper cover and it rests on the bumper itself. If it degrades or falls out, the bumper will sag. You will have to remove the bumper cover:



I added an additional piece to make it thicker and add more support:





Here's where it will contact the bumper:

Use double sided tape or glue and reattach it inside the bumper cover. You can see some sticky residue where it was originally:



Reinstall bumper cover, taking care not to knock out or shift the location of the foam during installation. Reach in and hold the foam while placing bumper cover in position.

All done. Nice and tight.

 

 

Looks good!

 

Just went through the 6 pages. Bad ass car you have and very nice setup. I spend too much time in the modification forum and need to stop over here to see all the goodies.

 

Thanks buddy. I just can't stop messing with this thing!

 

Thank you!

 

I ditched the all-fit lip. I installed a Mugen style valance today:

 

Out in the rain

 

looks good. u got it painted quick!

 

Yup looks really good. How was the fit of the lip? Did it come with mounting screws or just 3m tape? I was thinking of just doing this lip too and it looks good with just the lip without the full kit. Did the painters use the flex additive for bumpers when painting?

 

It didn't include anything. Tape and screws are seperate.

It fits surprisingly well. Fitment exceeded my expectations. I ran an extra screw in the side into the plastic wheel well to pull the sides tighter.

Flex agent on PP plastic is a must-have. I'm not doing the rest. I don't like the look of the skirts or the rear piece.

 

Thank you, I appreciate the response. Your car looks better and better the more you do to it.

 

I had a great time at the track over the weekend. All the mods I've done really enhanced the handling. Very little body roll:

 

That grill looks awesome.

 

I'm in the process of some new mods that should improve handling even further...

 

Nice, camber will definitely help in autocross. What are you going to do with that lower control arm? I'm guessing replacing the bushings or filling it with urethane like you did in the rear.

 

I'm bumping negative camber from -1.7 to -2.2. Adding arp studs with open lug nuts. Stiffer Hardrace bushings with a Megan brace across the front of the arms to strengthen it from the added shear of the stiffer bushings. Stiffer 3" bumpstops as well.


My RE71's are getting some heavy wear on the outer edge. I'm trying to correct it. Almost there:

 

Ok so I replaced the 38mm stock wheel studs with 73mm ARP studs. Honda sort of screwed us on the front stud replacement, so take care of your studs, use a torque wrench everytime, and hand start the lugs ( no power tools). If you strip or break a stud, you must understand you will need to remove the knuckle, press out the hub, replace the bearing because it will likely break, change the studs (finally, then put it back together. There's just no room behind the hub to get a new stud back into the hole.

I went with long studs and open ended long lug nuts. My idea here it when its removal time, I can spray the threads with pb blaster or liquid wrench or something to help loosen any seized threads. That's why I'm here. I had a seized lug that damaged the threads when I finally got it off. I really don't know what happened so if you know why this happened, chime in. I do not want to go through this again. Honda Fit + front stud replacement = pain.



While I have it this far apart, I made other changes. I found Hardrace makes replacement bushings, so I pulled the control arms and pressed out the old, in the new.



I'm increasing negative camber and I pulled the struts apart and added stiffer bump stops to boost the spring rate. I'm adding a Megan brace to strengthen the loads of stiffer bushings as well.

Much stiffer bushings compared to stock

 

When you added the foam for the front bumper, what kind of foam did you use? I want to give this a try to fix my sagging front bumper. TIA
