Danielg @ Memoryfab, New Fit GE8 Build Thread

oh. I installed the side skirts on friday, no pics tho. It's a subtle change from the OEM skirts, but I think it makes a big difference. The OEM piece has that little "M3" style twist, the mugens dont. No pics for today. Ill take some tomorrow and update then.
BTW I picked up another GE JDM Rear bumper. I dont think I need two. lol

nice car progress and mods... keep it up and keep us updated
the only thing i dislike about the mugen front lip is the 3 shark-teeth like fins or should i say FANGS.. thing is huge i seriously thought about shaving mine lol.
for the stock bumper, they are very tiny but it seemed like the mugen just made it look like shark fangs instead of teeth.
f i were to get that lip.. i'd paint the hideos shark teeth like fins black ...
personally it looks better IMO.

I agree. They are so pronounced. I initially wanted to shave them, then I realized they came pre-painted. So then we though about painting the fins black, or wrapping them in black vinyl or ?..... that didnt work because the fins come out fairly far. We thought about doing what you did in the picture, but we felt the line wouldn't look right. My last idea was to make that entire lower center section black. That's still on the table, but we'll see after I'm lowered and the kit is fully installed.

Another productive day.
We installed the skirts on Friday. Here are are the pics of the skirts and flow with the front spoiler
OK, so today we did the cargo cover. I thought it was retarded that it had that back piece with the button cap screws. I was not drilling into anything in the interior for a damn cargo cover. Solution, remove the flap! Just a couple clips.
So the mugen rear piece is pretty cool. The chrome trim pieces are actually ducts where the exhaust exits. The driver side plate is blocked off.
Because the driver side has that exit duct there, we had to cut into the OEM bumper to make it clear.
REAR INSTALLED
DEBADGED FIT EMBLEM
The kit came with 3 mugen emblems. 2 were suppose to be installed on the front fenders *gross* I just put on one the rear
AND MEMORYFAB FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey... cqn u send me a pic of where the corner of the grill lines up with the bumper? I installed mine but idk if its right... i followed the directions to a T but it doesn't look right up close, but looks good like 4 feet away

I'm pretty sure mine looks like yours. It's not 100% flush. What we did was just make sure the gap was the same on both sides. Up close you can see it's not flush, but we did the best we could do.
