Will this fit the USDM GE8??

Wonder why they didn't replace the oem antenna with a shark fin?

 

probably cause it wont work, unless its exactly the same size, shape, and countour of the base of our antennas.

 

I'm not 100% sure but I think that will fit the USDM GE8's, reason being is the JDM Honda rear spoilers are a direct swap with our spoiler. I'm guessing the dimensions should be the same in that part of our cars. Just a speculation though.

 

Looks like something from Wal-Mart. Does not go with antenna at all. Lose the antenna or move it.

Should at least be painted to match or better yet just individual fins with 3M tape.

 

If you take off he stock spoiler it will.

 

um, what is the point of these fins?

some sort of fuel efficiency aid? aesthetic preference?

 

Aids no hands driving while yakking on Cell.

 

Fins are actually a functional item. I don't know if these specific fins for the fit are.
Have you ever seen an EVO with fins AKA "vortex generators"? It creates vortexes that coninue to the wing for more downforce

 

Yes, I have seen fins used on other cars and why they are used.

So again, why on the Fit?

 

They would be purely cosmetic on the fit I'm sure. The stock wing doesn't do much for down force anyways as has already be commented on. I used to like these fins but now I'm starting to not like them. Should fit though

 

$600?

Yikes.

It better do SOMETHING other than get you style points.

Edit because science rules:

Wow, cool!

 

It is a good paper, unfortunately for us Fit owners VGs don't do a damn thing, as even with a test platform that the vortex generators are designed for (winged sedan) it only did this much good:

Application of the VGs of the optimum shape determined
through the abovementioned analyses to the
Mitsubishi LANCER EVOLUTION showed a 0.006

reduction in both the drag coefficient and lift coefficient

Does nothing for a wingless hatch.

THE WINGS! THEY DO NOTHING!

 

Nice link wanderer! And thanks for the feedback everyone, I will NOT be getting the VG's for the fit.
