^^ looks good on the taping. and you did it correctly with the overlapping to cut through air. perfect!

ive seen some bozo's do the layering without thinking and it starts peeing up while driving especially through rain. lol


drove my 12 to work today.... hopefully i dont get keyed again. not that i got key'ed at work, i dont think.

 

How long did that tape job take, looks oem lol

 

@kenchan: thanks... yes, I've seen those that peel because it was done the other way around lol.
the fit hasn't been keyed thank god but my black ct got keyed twice just weeks after getting it... fucking losers.

@Speedlimitz: just a little over an hour

 

First time I've seen this done...but I'm new to this forum, new to my fit, and unfamiliar with lots of things done by those younger than my 61 years...

Is it for style, or purely to cut down on bug and road debris damage to your front end? (or,
I suspect, both.)

What type tape is it you used? Does it come off without large amounts of residue to clean off, or do you leave it forever til it's really far gone, then just tape again?

I doubt I'll become "a taper", but want to find out more about this.

Thanks, Paul H

 

damn, sorry to hear bout the black CT getting keyed. karma will bite them in the arse so i dont think about it much especially now that i was able to polish mine off.

prh- you can use painter's tape blue. if you get any adhesive after removal, just take some wax and it will all come off. or do the ocd way, remove with claybar and wax afterwards.

 

I have to take the fit to MS here next weekend - thinking about taping her up

i always do funny designs on mine haha

 

@prhkgh: yes they are for any road debris... it's a paint saver to say the least... worth the time.

@SportGirl11: I was supposed to do a blue and green stripes with FrogTape

 

Domo up the side with the left over tape is always my favorite haha

 

looking good there bud!!

 

^how did I miss that??? look damn good FittedOnEm!!!

 

That's a sexy a$$.

That tail is going to be one of my next mods

 

where does one source those tail lamps and rear diffuser?

 

^ they're JDP diffuser and jdm tailights

 

thanks! i'll ck out the diffuser first.

 

My first foray fitting things in the Fit: While I usually walk with a cane due to a stroke a while back, occasionally I take a wheelchair with me if I'm going to be somewhere longer than I can comfortably stand. This afternoon I'm taking my wife and daughter to SF to watch America's Cup sailboat racing at Marina Green, sure to be very crowded.

So I wanted my foldable wheelchair along, but also seating for 3 of us. If the Fit didn't work I'd take my Ford Explorer instead, but parking would be tougher. Not to worry, the wheelchair fit just fine standing behind the seats. Just had to lean it back while putting it in past the lower rear ceiling.

So, as many others have said, "It Fits in the Fit."

^the fit is all you need... have fun and do post pics

 

^^ +1, have fun out there! Fit fits in everything well, including life.

 

Got a new expansion valve put in under warranty since my A/C was blowing warm. I also got my eyelids back from paint and attached them.

 

lids look good!

 

Thanks, I bought them off a guy on here that made them himself. He's trying to put together a group buy.
