Well it's wet, raining and right at freezing temps, but went ahead and installed the 3 Carbing bars. First the hatchbar, had to remove the rear bumper at least partially to get my hands behind it. Didn't take any pics of it as it is hidden from view because of the carpet I have in the hatch area. The 2 bars underneath, really quick and easy install. Remove the 4 bolts, place bar and replacement bolts and washers, done. The other bar ties in the left and right rear lower humps in the chassis.

Only the front bumper is actually different. The rest is the same and he ordered the rear lip.

Rear lip is in! Time to chop up the rear bumper. Hoping to take measurements for the J's Racing exhaust as well.

The rear sway brace also goes in today after being powdercoated bright red.

Today, I parked my car in "long term" parking (its three days)... funny thing, I parked right next to ANOTHER Honda Fit!

I'm travelling on what my friend aptly described as "a service call." Giving my mom an iPad and have to show her how to use it. And I have to finish the work I did on my brother's computer (didn't setup up a USB NIC or his printer). I have to spend $300 for three days of work... not earn. Bleh

This car is going have a really well put together look. Nice extra effort!

What are the boxes in front of all the cars? Is it an outlet to plug in engine block heaters?

I've seen power sources for you to plug your engine heater into before in parking lots up north...don't know if that's what those are though

This Fit needs more hiGH!!!

Are the Legend calipers heavy also? I'm referencing to NS-X calipers, I sent my friend years back all 4 and the box weighed like 82lbs. Honestly though, I can't recall if the rotors were also in the box, I'm hoping so now that I think about that weight. I also remember carrying the box like 600m to my office from the car, my arms were quite at my mind.

About the rotors, what are you using to mate up with the calipers?
