Last night, I snapped this picture while on the road in my Fit (after pulling over in a safe place, of course).

Maybe. The concern is shipping it.

Whats your instagram bud? And is that a Genesis behind your car with a wide body and marlboro theme? Sorry I couldn't make it. Too much going on this weekend.

Wheels look great on there too by the way. Glad your tires came in and you got them mounted in time. You went with the nitto next gens right? how you liking them?

I like the front bumper add on lips. What wing do you have on the car? Do you have any issues with rear vision and adjusting the Spoon mirrors? I'm asking because the Spoon mirrors for the EK/E.G./DC are specifically for RHD cars. I only found that out after I paid $800 and installed them.

Thats the JDP Duckbill. Its fiberglass with a carbon top layer. He painted it, or had it painted to be more accurate.

Yes it is a wide body genesis that is Marlboro themed. He had a Nissan 350Z with the same livery next to him. On his comment card he wrote "Smoking kills " which I though was funny.

Do a local pick up only. There are enough fits in SoCal where someone would be willing to drive to get it.

Thanks! The Neo Gens are not bad, although I don't like how they are not directional. In fact they have a specific "outside" wall direction and "inside" wall direction. The guys with a lot of camber love them because they are built to have the inside wall ware slower than a standard tire. I liked the old direzza dz102 a little more as the cost about the same. But all in all its a good looking meaty tire

Like Shinjari said its the JDP duckbill painted Taffeta White. Unfortunately my "spoon" mirrors are replicas. But they have no issue whatsoever. The "spork" mirrors as I call them, have grown in popularity and I can think of 4 people of the bat with them and nobody has ever complained with vision problems.

Digging the wheels and lack of wheel gap =)

Looks like it rained, did you plug those holes?

My upper Cusco braces came in today. Very happy with them. As you can see, you just need to make slots for he rear brace.

Snazzy looking bars. Sucks that your rear passengers can no longer pretend they are in an airplane and recline the rear seat a whole 2 degrees. Also, does the front one block your brake resi?

I'm still researching amps for the subs I want. I found a great deal on a rockford fosgate mono amp with bass knob (helpful since I listen to various genre's of music), but its nearly double the RMS I require. They do say better to overpower, but I think they mean a little...not double LOL.

It's either that or I find a super compact one with no external remote but able to tuck it anywhere I want.

Had to wash the roof of the Fit when I got home because some Pterodactyl at work had IBS and annihilated the roof.

Cusco gives you a bracket that lowers the resi so the bar won't hit it.

I want to upgrade the stereo in my Fit.

But if I'm going to replace it, it makes no sense to do so.

I hate how wishy washy I am on these things.

Need to drive the new Civic Si.

Cool photos. I prefer the lip (STI?) you removed over the new splitter style one, but thats just me.

What year/model accord is the splitter lip for? Others may want to do this

i didnt remove it haha, just added on the splitter onto the STI since the 09-11 sport bumper doesnt go flat like the 12-14s

Splitter came from a 07 Accord

I am iffy on the new Si. It feels like a half measure now with the new type R available to the US. If anything I would look at the Sport/Touring Hatchback version. It may be down a few horses from the Si but its the same platform as the Type R so you know it will get a lot of support performance wise and cosmetically.

just my opinion though.
