My only qualms is that the VTEC in our cars is for fuel economy, not performance.

 

Factory decals are never rice.


Not even this.

 

Except a vtec sticker on a Fit isn't factory. There's no burning phoenix on the hood of my mom's Vibe .

 

the firebird on the hood is just redneck

 

showing off that you have 100hp, priceless.

 

Maybe the point is to show off you have a well engineered engine?

 

Mmm i like that 30+ mpg sticker.

 

the only vtec sticker i would rock is a red VTAK sticker or one that says SOHCit .. i dont take this car seriously performance wise .. i do respect the handling on the other hand.. its an econobox with 8/16 valve vtec nothing worth advertising imho ... if u had a K series i would say def

 

Pretty much every car on the road made in the last 5 years has some form of variable valve control that the Fit has. Like said, the only one really worth avertising would be the DOHC performance VTEC. Even then I'd have that sticker off the same day I brought my Si home if I had one.

 

To rice or not to rice? That is the question.




I think the i-vtec looks small enough, and conservative enough to actually complement the car. Especially the silver on black, it looks nice. That is; in the pics, in real life maybe different. I think I'm gonna buy the stickers and see how it looks in real life, I can always choose not to put it on.

I normally don't like putting stickers on.

Yeh, I love that 30+ MPG sticker as well.

 

As far as decals go i think their perfect. I my self do aim for the "factory aftermarket" look like red honda emblems etc, however i would only ever buy OEM Honda items. So to original question i dont think white decals on orange would look "legit" but might look good with the wheels. Get the wheels first and then see.

 

AHHHH another post from the dead.


this one's 2 years old.

I got mine from decaldude.net.... The quality is great and good pricing too...

 

 

Nice, thanks for posting that pic. My ukdm jazz si is black so was intresting to see what the decal looks like.

 

This statement would be true, outside of the United States.

This is the 'fuel efficiency vtec' engine:

"Two different valvetrains are present on this engine series. The L12A, L13A, and one of the L15A varieties use (Japanese: i-DSI), or “intelligent Dual & Sequential Ignition”. This setup utilizes 2 spark plugs per cylinder. They fire at different intervals during the combustion process to achieve a more complete burn of the gasoline. This process allows the engine to have more power while keeping fuel consumption low thanks to the better utilization of gasoline. Emissions are also reduced."

Note: our US market fits have 1 spark plug per cylinder.

The USDM Fits with the L15A:

"The other valvetrain in use is the VTEC on one of the two varieties of the L15A. This engine is aimed more at performance than efficiency with a slightly higher redline, which reaches peak torque at higher rpm. However, it still offers a good combination of both performance and fuel efficiency."

Nice pic tfreefit! Black definitely is the best color... but hard to take care...
how much did it cost u to paint ur wheels? or did u powdercoat?

 

The stock sport wheels look really good painted.

 

I know this thread is ancient. But I bought these yesterday for my 2007 Honda Fit Sport.

It was hard to find them without the "i". BTW I have the pumpkin Orange. I know BLACK and SILVER are the only smart options for the DECAL on Orange paint. White would work, but I don't think it would terrible after a year or so.

 

A simple solution seems to be just cutting the "i-" out of the decal before applying it.

Although I did manage to find this one without the "i-" in about 30 seconds of googling.
