Naw I have coilovers. ****ed coilovers, but I have them lol. I couldn't get the endlinks to connect so I'm using stock ones that are bound to blow out sooner or later on NJ roads...might take it to a shop to have them fix it and align it.

I have eyelids to put on, taillights to tint dark, rear panel to delete the emblem/wiper, soften the suspension just a bit, possibly raise the front up 1/2", install my black tow hooks and hood damper, buy ikona's emblem-delete front grille + AJ-X spoiler, and green Konig Daylites.

That'll probably be it for the year. Next year I'll focus on suspension bars and such

What are your plans?

Have a Mugen Replica spoiler sitting in my room waiting to be painted. Have been painting my stock rims black. Two are done they came out great just need to sandblast the other two again to paint them. Working with I-Kona and I will be recieving Grill, upper rear garnish badge delete, lower garnish very soon. Then some new tires and that is it for the plans rite now. But after those I might be saving up for some crazy vinyl wrap or doing mugen lip kit all around.

Let me know how that Mugen spoiler replica install goes. I always liked that wing.

We're gonna be rockin ikona's trio of parts lol the Fit looks great without emblems/wiper. Plus the rear lower garnish is awesome because I ****in hate how flat it is back there. Waterspots and dirt love settling on it..

I'm sure I will, but I don't want stickers lol. The green stars on my back window are the only stickers I'll ever have.

Oh, ill change your mind on the sticker

So the mugen replica spoiler is looking great but to bad it's only primed and sitting in my room not painted and on my car. So far it looks like one hole on each side will match the stock then two other holes have to be drilled. I wont be doing this my self I will have someone that knows what there doing take care of this. now it looks like the posts just rest on the window, well that doesnt seem to sturdy, safe, and secure so I think i will be using some 3M double sided tape to get this thing on my car good.

I'm not sure the OEM spoiler holes will be plugged by the Mugen rep. I heard somewhere there's a tailgate garnish you'll need to cover the OEM holes on the roof.

I dunno. I havent pulled my stock spoiler off yet to even check but I heard that one set of the holes will actually use the stock holes. I guess we will have to wait and see when it's painted.

Removed the stock spoiler to see what was under there. Holy shit theres 5 holes!

None of them will be used for the new spoiler. Now how am i supposed to put this spoiler on as it leaves an open gap you can see ALL of the holes. Not to mention water getting in them. Has no one replaced there stock spoiler?

you'll have to grind down the existing holes, putty them, drill new ones, sand everything down to bare metal, prime, paint, clear, and install. That's what i did with mine. Unless you order the Mugen tailgate garnish for like 200+ dollars. AJR or King Motorsports should be able to get it for you. If you go that route call Scott at King first. Much better imo and you wont have to pay crazy shipping from Canada.

wow such an expensive solution either way. Due to me not being a body worker i would have to pay for all this work. Does'nt sanding those holes require the whole trunk cover to be removed to be worked on? Then they have to putty it and paint back over it then paint the spoiler then mount it. Damn i need to go get a qoute. Will see what solution is cheaper. Even if i get the tailgate garnish for 308! its still unpainted..

modding is expensive lol. I almost wonder sometimes why I do it. Hundreds of dollars on something so small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. I'm getting old and I think this will be the last car I ever tinker with.
