JDP goodies installed and shift boot and knob
havent posted pics in awhile, havent really dont much to the car. sorry the car is filthy, its been raining here. here are some pics of the jdp grill, painted to match, painted the inner part gloss black though. installed the rear diffuser and also got a black leather shift boot with gray stitching to match the center armrest and a mugen shift knob. love the way the car looks with the grill, i also have the cf radiator plate but i forgot to take pics and im too lazy to go outside and take pics again lol. now for the rear diffuser, install was easy, it came with pre drilled holes, the piece itself is well made, but i do wish that its put on with other than double sided sticky tape, if i had to drill a couple holes into the bumper than use the sticky tape, i would. the last pics will show how it looks if your looking down at the diffuser and you can see the tape. other than that, JDP stuff FTW!

Your Fit looks happy (it's smiling).
Man I love those wheels!
Where did you get the leather boot? I was looking at getting one from Redline but I wasn't sure that the little ring at the top would be able to be fitted back into the aftermarket boot.

Looks really good.
For the tape, you could always get some 3M .5 or .7mm thick tape that still has very good holding power. This way the diffuser will actually look like it part of the body and not tacked on as much. Regardless as I said, it looks good.
About the grill, people say the USDM and JDM are not interchangeable, but I just don't see what is different between them as far as shape and size. The JDP grill is nice and how you had it painted makes it look even better.

Can you take more pics of the boot? Like some various angles, etc. Did it come with a ring or did you have to reuse the stock ring? I'm asking because I really want a boot that will fit over the aftermarket knob adjustment nut. Thanks!

You're welcome. I'll always have a soft spot for silver Hondas. My first EF3 Si Civic was Satin Silver Metallic, my EG9 SiR Ferio was the same and my AP2 was Silverstone. I chose white for the Fit as I wanted a reminder somewhat of my DC5R and I just feel white is the proper color for a Honda. hahaha

Personally, I think the drop on your ride looks good as it is... but to each his own! ![Smile](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Again, to each his/her own... I have no problems with totally slammed. It looks great when done properly. It's just that it can look a little strange to me.
Also, I don't need to be rubbing in ANY situation... let alone every time I go over a hump more than 1-1/2 inches high!
![Big Grin](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I do like the car lowered more than stock. Even so, getting the front a little lower than the rear is more important to me. I've noticed some springs and even rides with coilovers sometime appear to be lower in the rear than they are in the front. I don't know why, but it definitely appears that way to me. I don't care for the lower rear, higher front look.
Then again, I'm fairly picky... I tend to notice things I perceive as being "off" even 1/4 inch or less. Once I notice, or at least perceive it that way, it makes me crazy until it's right in my eyes.

Anyway, nice ride. Do what makes you happy, and what feels/performs best for you.
Thanks for the pics! More, more, more!
