Looks nice. Those wheels are super played out, but they still look legit.

Mmmmm, base dropped on wheels.
Sometimes I really wish I had a base. Then I think of Sam and Britt; how they dont have cruise, or wings, or a sweet steering wheel.

Hahaha il-them.

Yah thats okay I got them cause they are light weight and inexpensive.. probably why they are played out.. that and the fact that they look pretty good.. I was gonna get the Desmonds in Silver but i didn't wanna spend that much..

I don't really use cruise control to be honest.. my last three cars had it (turbo'd 98 LS Integra, 05 RSX-S, 04 RX-8) and i never used it... I'd rather have volume controls for the stereo on there =) thats handy...

I'll probably get a wing and i won't have the extra wholes =) that you sport guys have to deal with.. trying to decide if i should get a lip kit hmmmmm...??? not much to choose from its either the mugen or the mugen and then theres the mugen.. unless i go JDM.. we'll see i like that mugen lip that you guys have.. yours looks pretty cleean, did you have to do anything to get it to fit right?

pssh forget about that mugen lip that everyone has. get the lip that i had.

hahaha but i would get the fiberglass one. because if it cracks...its easier to fix i suppose.


uh....lip kit would be nice. depends on which one you get. i would rock mugen sides and the mugen rear bumper.

other then that, rock a spoiler and you will be set. anyone will do. the fit NEEDS a bigger wing though.

Ive used my CC once. Hahaha!
Its just like to make fun of the Florida base owners. Just like white Fits and tan interior. AHHHH!

If you get a lip, get the same one James (above me) has. CF or not CF, up to you. James can suggest one. Hehh
That lip is different from the one I have, which is hella popular.

If i was gonna get a lip i would get the one that SD has but i'd definitely need sides and a rear because the front would be way too loud... i'm definitely thinking of getting a wing though maybe the mugen style wing i wanna see some good pics of it though, i'd get the spoon but i can't deal with the wiper hitting it so scratch that..

I like the base Fits with a front lip and skirts. No rear lip.
Has a nice stance.

I kinda like the base just the way it is =) maybe i'll just get a wing until they have more options for lips (i doubt thats gonna happen), i'd like a more subtle look than the mugen lip but not the stock sport lip..

i have the seibon spoon rep.


who said that the wipers hit the duckbill? i mean i havnt used my rear windshield wipers but i dont think it will hit.

its tooo high up, even higher then the stock spoiler...so it should have any problems.


i HAD the spoiler and the lip. haha

the lip is from hondafittuner.com just tell them you want the lip that james with the red fit has.

for the lip its the mugen rep that hugs the oem lines. it something different that everyone else has. if i do get another good lip, it will be the fiberglass one. i uh, basically destroyed 2 carbon fiber lips in 1 month...so im over carbon fiber. looking at mxgt89 and illusives fit makes me want to color match my stuff.
they only have fiberglass and carbon fiber. and i didnt understand the whole, i need the sides and rear or else it would be too loud?

maybe i miss read it or so.

the second reason why i would suggest that lip, is because its more pointed in the front. unlike the abs which is rounder. i like the look of the lip when you look at the car sideways. it has more of an aggressive stance to it. which is muy beuno!

Sorry i meant that if i just did the lip with no side skirts it would look unbalanced.. like to much going on in the front and lacking at the sides and the back..

As for the spoon spoiler hitting the wiper problem i think it was Ben at AJR that said that his wiper hits the spoiler, but don't quote me on that but i'm sure i can find the thread where he is testing fitting alot of parts on the white fit they have.

I do like the spoiler when its painted to match i'd be curious to see what yours would look like i almost attempted to photoshop it but its hard to color something black.

Hey do you rub at all with the setup you have? looks like the offset is far enough out there that if you hit a bump you might actually rub on the fender? Don't get me wrong i think your fit looks sick.. it would also look sick if you had the gun metal versions of those wheels that came with the 2008 USDM ITR

looks good, i like the rims, i think i'm getting the same ones next. i dont think they are as played out as everyone says they are. i have not seen any other ssm with bronze heliums, or have i seen any other nhbp (me) those wheels. hey if it looks good, who cares how many people have it, i would hate to have ugly rims for the sake of being different.
i say no lip kit, maybe just a rear wing.

Thanks! I agree i dont' care how many people have them as long as they look good.. i'd rather look good than be unique and ugly .. I have seen other SSM's with bronze heliums thou, i believe atleast 2 other guys on here have em... Yazzflute and i don't remember the other.. I think i'm gonna order my spoiler today..
