VIS makes this bumper, it 's a replica of the JDM Mugen Front.

It is fiberglass and as far as fitment, it was a catastrophe. I do body work and paint and it took me countless hours. Lots of cutting out, lots of adding, lots of surface smoothing and prep.

My VIS kit didnt come with fog light mounts so I custom glassed mounts. The foglights I have in there are Raybrigs, stock from a 2005 Honda Element. =)

Ive glassed in SS brackets for the mounts so I can use the stock screws and clips to hold it tight.

The real JDM is exactly what you think, tons of parts, tons of money, tons of time. So yeah, mine a fake. =)

This is a total DIY project for me and a Daily Driver, so not only does it look legit, it is fully functional and strong. I have tons of in progress pics if anyone wants to see how I did stuff.

I saw yours when I was looking around and really liked them. As far as style, they are very similiar.. I just took mine a little lower, just to the point where they dont effect the beam pattern. I also added a little mascara (thin pin striping) for style points.

Hello everyone,

As of last night I purchased a 2012 Alabaster Silver Honda Fit Sport, without test driving it.

I had sold a 2008 Accord which I also did not test drive before purchasing.

Anyway the TPMS light came on about 30 minutes after the dealership, the car has 5 miles on it. I'm assuming the tires are fine but it wasn't calibrated correctly after sitting on the lot for some time, I'll check the pressure soon.

The dealership installed the front license plate (argh). Otherwise I think the car looks great for what it is. I will be using it for winter and gardening in the spring (with the 4ft tall mode).

Pictures soon, but it's just a stock silver.

Is it easy to purchase/install the sport pedals? I always had a problem with fits and their tiny pedals, work fine but I want something more grippy or beefy to step on.

My other car is a BMW 330 convertible:


Thanks,
ELmO
