Well it's not really "pimped" but I did add a few things to make it look a little less base-ish.

Here she is after the trip home. Seems like Honda really goes out of their way to make the base look plain.



First thing to get was wheels. The plastic hubcaps simply don't cut it. I stuck with the 15s because I like more of a classic '80s honda look which I think works well on the base Fit.

I could also just swap the stock tires back on which made the rim install a little simpler but the tires probably will get replaced soon. They are not good for having fun .

Found these 5 spoke dealer option rims for the '02-'05 civics. Thought they would work well with the silver. I def wanted a wheel with a machined face to compliment the alabaster silver.



These are 15X6 with a +45 offset. Seems like the perfect offset for a non-radical wheel upgrade.



Next thing I did was undercoat the rear fenderwells. The un-coated fenderwells look cheap to me with the light color.



Then I installed the splash guards. A must for the base and also a must for the '80s honda look.

After that I installed the Honda door visors and did some light smoke tint on the upper part of the tail lights.

Some random pix.









Last but not least I did my patented base Fit tail pipe polish like I did on my '09.



Here she is next to momma's Sport Fit.



Hope to leave it like this for now but it feels like I've got the mod bug going with this car.

Also installed the Progress rear sway the other night.

 

Looks nice.

 

Those wheels look pretty sharp.

 

What a great look from Base to Pimped. Love the offset of the rims, Prefect! Udercoated nice!
+rep 2ya.

Dig the rims! Personally I like the lines of the Base (without spoiler/skirts) but wish I could get some "real" wheels.

 

What substance and/or paint did you use for the undercoating? I too dislike how the rear wheel wells look extremely unfinished. And it looks like "homemade crap" when it gets dirty under there.

I need to coat mine too.


Looks really nice so far. There are things I like about the base model too. Though personally, I couldn't do without the Sport's front spoiler... but that's just me. Base doesn't look any less cool, just different. I just REALLY like the Sport model's front... the angled pillars between the grill and the fog lights look pretty nice to my eyes. One of the things that first caught my eye about the GE.

As far as mods? Go for it! It would seem the Fit gives people that mod bug... especially if they happen to find this place.

More mods, more pics, more mods, more pics... then, some more mods, and some more pics!!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Mike I was just checking out your wheels man you really know how to pimp it up. I like those though. Man nice and light. If I had seen those I proabably would have gone for a set.

These suckers are heavy. I almost sent them back because they weigh 19.3 lbs. Once I started looking them over I had to put them on the car though. They just had the look I was after. They are 1.5 lbs heavier than the steelies so not too noticeable with the stock tires.

I used 3M rubberized undercoating. I've had good luck with the stuff. It's expensive though and it goes quick. I used about 1 1/2 cans on just the back fenderwells. It's like $10 a can.

There was some cheaper stuff that I might use for the front and bottom sides which I still plan to do.

Whatever you get just make sure it says "rubberized" on it. Otherwise it will stay sticky and gooey forever.

The base bumper cover is a little basic. I like them both the base is just more my speed. Plus I gotta have those Honda splash guards.

 

Wow, that looks really good. I'm slightly kicking myself for not waiting. I got the 2010 sport in the same color 6 weeks ago because the payments would be the same as the 2011 base (0.9% wasn't for 2011 at the time, but was for 2010). I prefer the base look, especially after yours with the upgraded wheels.

 

little things go a long way... props to you!

 

New Schpoiler to ad to the pimpage.

 

okay... there's something about this picture that just doesn't sit right with me. Despite owning a Fit, myself... your Fit seems to look like a minivan here. My best guess is because of the size of the wheels.

 

I think it's the 15's. Needs a drop IMO.

 

I normally don't say this... but, yeah... that one needs a drop. having 15s and the stock gap makes the car look like a minivan. that, or bigger wheels... or both.


Even this picture makes it look like an SUV, or minivan on an SUV chassis (like some Mercedes I've been seeing... oversized POS, I hate those Mercs).

 

The mods improve and personalize the looks.

I say dump the advertising frame around the rear license plate and get a plain black narrow frame with no lettering. That will clean up the rear more.

 

Thanks! I always forget about those stupid frames. Been meaning to do that actually. Thanks for the reminder.

 

i want that spoiler. have you thought of painting the top part of the hatch gloss or satin black (where the spoiler mounts) for a more continuous look?

 

simple, effective, and budget friendly. i like

 

Looks GREAT!! Front fogs would finish it off...I actually like the base bumper (when equipped with fogs) better than the sport.

Nice job

 

love the alabaster! what spoiler is that and about no much does it cost? do you know if they make it in fiberglass? wanna trade headlights?? i'll ship mine first, so you don't have to be without headlights as i have two cars, and can park the fit for a week or so

 

Haven't thought about that but you really can't see that part from the ground. That one pic is from my roof.

Thanks! I actually thought about getting the fog light bezels and just having holes through them so they looked like air ducts. I think they just might look like empty fog light bezels though.

The spoiler is a seibon TR for the '09 Fit. Cost me $330 shipped from carbonfiberhoods.net. You have to ship it to a business though.

Not looking to swap headlights.
