CHECK THE NEXT FEW PAGES FOR PROGRESS PICTURES OF THE CAR!!



Hey guys. I figured since theres only a few people with 2012s modding their cars that I would post mine up. Picked this car up 2/9/12. One of 13 Milano red 5 speed manual fits in the country.

Anyway heres a few pictures from the day I picked it up at the dealer. First mod I did when I brought it home was a Karcepts shift knob that I took out of my old rsx before I sold it:

The car looks crazy right now at stock rideheight, but I have tanabe df210s going in friday

How did you find out there are only 13 milano red 5 speeds? I would be curious as to how many 2009 Orange Revolution Metallic Sport 5 speeds there are...

Thats how many there were in the country (at the dealerships) when I was looking for mine. Before I bought this one, I went to another dealership who told me there were 13 in the whole country. So I had to buy it from this dealership, joyce honda, who are a bunch of assholes.

Thanks

There is a little bit of gap. I think the springs need to settle a little more. But I am on an uneven surface as well. And these tires seem to have less tread depth than most 205/45 ive seen

Since they dont make mudflaps for a sport.. I decided to get creative, and make some of my own. These are the rally armor mudflaps often seen on evo, sti, impreza etc. Adapted them to fit a Fit, lol.

Why did you choose to go with 205/45 size, just curious? Take good care of the paint so it doesn't turn into Milano Pink over time.

Looks nice, black roof and bonnet would really look sick in my opinion.

After doing some research I found that 205/45 is the proper size for a 16x7 rim. Anything less is stretching it on the wheel. And the stock dunlop tires, even though they are brand new, sucked. Im going to be using them for the winter. In my opinion if you are using a 16x7 wheel I would go with 205/45 or 205/50

And Im thinking about doing the roof in black vinyl. Not sure yet. When I get the duckbill spoiler that is going to be gloss black.

Well 205/50 would of been better as it is almost exactly the same diameter as the stock 185/55 and your speedo and mileage would not be compromised, and works well on wheels up to 7.5" is width. Your current diameter is like running a 205/50R15. It will help with acceleration, well possibly, not sure how heavy or light those wheels are.

Well doing vinyl will be a viable option, if you don't like it or grow tired of it, you can just remove.
