Smile My Fit, Pic's

I've had my Fit for over a month now and haven't posted any pic's of it so here are some. (not that nobdy's seen the blue GE sport before)

you'll notice in the last two pic's my hidden hitch. When I installed it I didn't like how you could see it hang down from the chassis.. i wanted it to look more finished/flush w/the back end. So I bought this rubber garage door sweep, and cut it and mounted it to the hitch so that it looks flush w/the rear end I think it looks way better.

other than the hitch, the only other exterior mods I have done and probably will do are the tinted windows, and the OEM rear Splash Guards.

Doesn't the sweep change the aerodynamics on the underside of the car, defeating the purpose of the rear diffuser?

Not that the Fit really pushes any limits.

sure I'll try & take a few tomorrow. of course i wouldn't have put them on if it looked silly or awkward. I think it looks fine.

with the added weight of the hitch & the sweep I haven't noticed any difference in MPG's.. I've been averaging 41mpg's (i drive very conservatively)
