Help me find the owner of this Fit!

Long time lurker here, having always dreamed of owning and modifying a Fit, I found the car of my dreams in Mid-Ohio.



I just wanted to thank the owner of this car of their taste and their style. I will take excellent care of your car. I'm going to see it tomorrow, to decide if I should drop the money.

In case you ever see this, thank you! I'll take care of your baby!

Hmm looks like it has a CF J's style hood and CF Mugen style front lip. Some rando wheels and lowered in one way or another. Either real or rep Mugen visors, and blackened fog housings.

OP: do you mind divulging the asking price, miles, trans, year, etc?

BTW: I don't recognize the car from the forums and unless its before my time (basically a 2007 member) then I'd know the car

2008 @ 50K~ Miles

KWSC High Boost Kit

Whether or not the parts are replica or not, I will find out today. I'm more concerned about the supercharger.

Notice the "Christmas Tree" air freshener in the last pic?

Better make sure the car wasn't in a FLOOD...

Already done a background on this car, it's been in two "minor" front/rear end collisions, as long as it tracks straight, I don't really care.

They'r definitely fake parts (the lip and hood), I also see a CF hatch, I really have no idea what wheels are on there.

I would change the steering wheel if I were you. That thing is unsafe.

It's a Seibon Hood, Seibon Hatch, Mugen Window Flares, Spoon Shift Knob, saw them all today.

I am still out on the rims though. The symbol I saw looked like a little Q or something.

Edit- This thing has the KWSC High Boost Kit, I want my cruise control back. Is reinstalling the stock steering wheel on this fairly straight forward?

I saw this heap on Columbus, OH Craigslist... looks like a mess I'd want to stay away from.

Personly I'd stay away from a car that has already been fairly modded. With it having KWSC kit you can be sure the car was probable beaten on pretty hard. For them to also drop the car off like that at the dealer and not part out the aftermarket parts makes you wonder.

Yup! With it looking like that it is fair to say someone has most likely been hard on it. I like everything but the rims and the lip. LOL! I know then it kinda looks like mine! Good luck with your new Fit and good to have you on the forum. I would like to see a picture of the engine bay too. The Seibon CF hoods are awesome and a good coat of wax will keep it looking good.

Repo

I'm assuming it was some high school / college kid's car that got repoed. Dealer probably picked it up at the auction for cheap.
