Good luck ;p
Its too bad that his customers have to work so hard just to buy something from him. But its all good, his lack of communication actually pushed me to buy the modulo front lip and garnish. Legit JDM parts!

I had to reread that a few times, because I thought it read you traded your seat covers and arm rest for some mugen bolts.

I was like, DANG MAN, your mugen obsession has gotten out of hand. Darn things only cost 25 bucks. haha

Although I am super confused on how to install.

No directions and tons of hardware, and I assume I have to drill into the front of the bumper for those little black push pins? If I ever remove it I'll have holes in front of the bumper that you can see

Wow, it is good that you choose Taffeta White right away,
long time ago, I though of doing a 2 tone theme and buy the Mugen Pearl White, hoping that later I will install Mugen side skirt and Mugen rear lower spoiler in pearl white too...
bad choice hahaha...
the Pearl White look so yellow compare to taffeta white so I end up painting my modulo lips taffeta white, which of course not as good as factory Honda paint...

anyway... here is a DIY that I made,
hope it help:

I've got a set of Konig Heliums in bronze on order. Unfortunately they got held up in the west coast port strike, so I'm still waiting.

Spent way too long installing these LED strips. Totally worth it.

Morimoto XB LED type H fog lights

Received my new XB LED fogs today and attempted install only to find out they do not fit. The housing is a bit too large for the bracket. On the web page it states compatibility with the 2009-2013 base models but doesn't make sense since they do not come with fogs standard. I emailed TRS for an answer or else will need to return them. Perhaps I got too excited when ordering. Some heavy cutting might be required for fabrication but I was hoping for a straight pnp

Thanks I'll take a look at the link before I install.

Did you mind drilling the holes on the front edge of the bumper? I am just nervous that if for some reason I get rid of the modulo lips I will have these 2 big holes in the front.

I don't worry about the holes because I would not take out the modulo lips,

I actually nervous that if someday I cracked my modulo lips,
I could not find a replacement since the lips might be out of production someday

Placed an order for a Takeda intake from this shop- 4wheelonline. Not expecting a huge hp gain, but let's how it would sound. Will post a short review once it is installed.

Yeah i don't think I would ever take them off, but if for some reason I had to sell the car I would either have to sell if with them on or take them off and then sell it with the holes :/

But I don't see myself selling my fit.

Well from what I gather these rear adjustable spring mechanism things received lots of good response on the fd2 civics and they hope these parts will also be good.

Although I still have no clue what your buying lol

Ordered some LED bulbs off Amazon. Also ordered new tires. Not big on money, but spring is coming. Ended up on Falken Ziex 912s. Lots of good reviews, but I've also heard people say they're pretty overrated.

Seeker is saying they launched an adjustable bracket for the rear springs, pretty cool idea

Mounted on an aftermarket spring as per their Facebook:
