Love the wheels, those tires look damn wide. Exhaust isnt that bad, I have 2 mufflers now. Hahahh!
I was waiting for somebody else to comment on it.

Try this mesh instead. You put all that work into the car, that chicken wire crap really brings the look of car down.

Your exhaust looks great and I love those wheels on your car. I'm not a big fan of the mesh grill but who cares it's your car.

Not feeling the interior trim (except the seats which look sick) or the ridiculous huge dual exhausts. Come on, we have 1.5L engines! It's like the new Impreza STi which has four exhaust outlets using an I4 engine--pointless and showy. Are those coilovers?

it's not chicken wire it is very fine grill mesh from customcargrills.com.

I like it so that's what counts. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comments. actually the exhaust is an axle back that converts to a dual outlet. I dont think it will be pointless at all when i am boosted. yes it is showy and it is the baddest axle back out imo. mugen is 1st class. and yes i am also dropped on the mugen sports suspension kit.

Tire size? 205 or wider?

The mesh does not come out nice on the photos... But I suspect they might look more aggressive in real. The car really calls for boost. I hope you get it soon and share the fun with the rest of us!

For the record, Mugen employees have stolen/steal some of their designs from some of the local designers and fabricators. I'm not at all a Mugen supporter, but I'm glad you're happy with your ride. That's all that matters.

EDIT: How's the ride on those wheels by the way? I was thinking about doing 17 or 18s, but your 18s fit very nicely in the fenders. Any rubbing when you turn or anything? I thought an 8" was wide for the Fit, but then I thought about all the Scions on 18 x 8s. Thumbs up.

didn't know that. still love it though. the ride is fantastic. i have a much wider footprint and stance. alot of work went into getting them to fit without rub. still very slightly in the front on hard bumps. the rear was a bitch to correct. if you look at the inside of the rear wheel well you will see a 3/4 inch lip that runs throughout. that has been completely removed. several hours of test fitting and grinding but well worth it. when i had my 17's it barely hit it but the wider 8 inch combined with the +40 offset the wheels are completely flush with the side of the vehicle. in the front they actually stick out a quarter inch or so. had to pull the front fender out with my hand. made it better.

Even with boost and a whopping 160whp you don't need two fart cans the size of your head

you dont have a clue what you're talking about. they are not big at all. looking at them in person they are actually small compared to the other axle backs with a large muffler like skunk2 for example which is what i had before. and they are not fart cans at all. i know because i have heard many. it sounds very mellow and has a nice tone.

do you have a stock fit or is it modded? Tell you what...why don't you come out to a meet and see it in person before you start spouting negativity. There's one in may in CT. Then we'll see what's what.

I didn't mean to be rude, I figured the smiley at the end of my last post showed that I was joking. But sorry it was misconstrued as such!

what exhaust did you get? custom? the grill has been a real pain in the ass. keeps coming loose but i always liked it cause it was different. have been debating for a while now actually about replacing it. might get the seibon carbon grill. plus i love their mugen style spoiler. might just get both.

Hey, leonine! Maybe people havent seen your car in real person yet thats why they have all these criticisms. Pictures cant depict the details that good. I have seen your car during the meet and it is HOT. Props for you!

P.S. I always wished I could get the $800+ "fart cans" that people were talking about. Nice tone. Hope to see you next meet!
