I will share one picture so far. Wasn't too happy with this photoshoot before the car got rear ended so I will just post one. I have kinda cheated and parked on a slope. Car is not that low.

it is held on my 3M tape. But because there are two "bumps" on the top part of the hatch where the stock bolt holes are, the spoiler won't sit flush. You have to drill two holes without puncturing the aftermarket spoiler that correspond to the factory bolt holes in order for the wing to sit flush so that 3M tape will hold it in place.

New Update: Car is fixed from the rear ender after 3 weeks.
Newest addition to my mod list is these highly dope blinging Axis tails.

say HI next time!!

I bought it from japanparts.com. It was quite a hefty amount, though insurance covered it. Even if they didn't cover it, it is well worth the money in terms of quality. I doubt even OEM can beat the quality of these lights.

Nice ride!
Need more pictures.

Can you get a shot on the front bumper where you painted the area between the fogs and lower grill? Been thinking about doing this, how did you do it, Plastidip?

Hey blackvitzrs,

You have a very nice GE Fit. I was wondering on the fitment on the JDP diffuser, as some other members have said its not 100%. That there's a minor, very minor gap on the passenger side.

Also, what about the quality of the CF and clear coat? Has it hold up? Any bubbling?

And finally. Is it true that the fitment is very tight, which could potentially scratch the paint, and that you have to drill holes to make it fit properly?



Im asking because a different made this comments and I would like to see if this is the same with everyone.

I would appreciate a reply. Thanks.

Thanks for the input. Did you have to mod anything(drill holes) for anything to fit?

I have experience with TWO of these lips. The first one was when it first came out. I think it was one of the first five that was ever made by JDP. Honestly, the quality of the first one was crap, fitment was crap, isn't tight at all, gaps left and right and center.

I was rear ended and the local body shop was able to track down another one. This one was much better quality wise. Fitment from what I can see is very good as well. I have no complaints on this new one.
