Looks great man!

One suggestion? A hub centric spacer for the rear. My Buddy Clubs are 42mm and when I mount them this week I'm planning on using a 5mm spacer in the rear. I've got a 20mm spacer on my oem rear wheels effectively making them 33mm offset, and they have a nice aggressive stance with no poke.

Car looks great tho! I'm really starting to dig the mugen grill... hhmm...

The button on the left is the VSA that comes standard in 2011, and the other one is the switch for the interior illumination.

lol you did tape the sh1t out of the box, the UPS guy and I ripped a lot of tape off the cardboard to inspect for damage. It hood itself looks great, but I will have to get used to it on the car. Thanks man!

I've already dropped it on Swift Springs. Not a big drop, but it's subtle. I go up hills and sloped/uneven driveways so I think it's just fine. Nice improvement over stock and highly recommended.

Hood looks nice!

Some ask me the same about lowering mine and I'm on Swifts too haha it's low enough for my taste (and function).

Hmmm, personally, I'm not a fan of the carbon fiber stuff. However, it works with the theme you have.

Loving those rims....Might pull the trigger on some 17's. How are the continentals for ya?

580 in the background!!! Woot! My stompin ground! =)

The Conti DW's are excellent. The ride is more comfortable than stock Dunlop's, less road noise, handles like it's on rails. I plan to get a front strut bar and lower arm bar to stabilize the car.

It rained the 2nd or 3rd day in June and the tires performed well. It was very stable. I really wanted summer tires and first time running max summer tires. I used to run ultra high perf all seasons on previous cars. The worst weather we get is rain + wind, and I don't think the Conti DW will pose any issues...it's got very good reviews. Can't go wrong with Conti DWS either.

Thanks vinnymac, I don't think anyone makes the mugen grille in CF, but JDP does make an open nose type CF grille.

Your car looks awesome! Your car is vortex blue, correct? How well do those blue sensation Mugen pieces match? It looks like the grill matches perfectly! Did you have it repainted? I'm planning on getting the Mugen kit but was disappointed to see it isn't offered in the vortex blue. Is the blue sensation close enough that I can just order it in that color?

It is vortex blue Blue sensation does not match well at all. I'm glad I got the Mugen mirror cover, pretty much did the color test right there lol. I got the Mugen grille painted; I bought mine with the white color. Don't get BSP colored parts for a VBP, it won't match.

Recently picked up T1R midpipe from a member here and got a chance to install in on my Fit and omg it's sweeeeeeet. It brought out my Greddy SE; it feels lively now. It sounds amazing whenever I give it throttle. It's not overly loud because the Greddy SE isn't a really loud muffler, but it's freakin sweet lol.
