I'm either going to stop while I'm ahead or...Work Emotion CR Kai wheels, flat black wrap, JDP vented hood.


Something like this:









I'm having trouble thinking of dropping another 5k on this car, that may or may not be worth the $. What do you guys think: consider it as a possibility or keep it a dream?

 

Keep it a dream. This is going to sound like a dick comment but:

You won't be able to pull that off. Your execution will not be that good.

That's not a dig on you, that guy just pulled off something that should be ugly.

 

Ha! Isn't that the beauty of the look? Flat paint and dull wheels: fugly, but f#@kable?

 

On that car, yes. On yours it'll just be fugly haha.

S-chassis' look rad as hell with vented hoods, that's why there are so many options (Koguchi Power, DMax, Chargespeed, BN, Masa, M-Sports, etc.) versus the Fit just having the JDP.

S15 also has the huge benefit of being able to fit man-size, thus concave, wheels.

The S-chassis can pull off a ton of looks, I doubt this is one that can replicated on this platform.

 

Ha! Don't get me wrong, I love what I've done so far. However, everytime I consider something more I have this flashing vision of a turbocharged Geo Metro w/ a bodykit...don't wanna be that guy.

 

^Hot. Fire.

 

Yes to CR Kais in gunmetal or work metal buff. With your fender pull, you could easily fit like 17x8 +42 or even +32. I've wanted a set in WMB forever.

No to the flat black, it's a super aggressive color and needs the parts to back it up IMO. With the 2K or so you would have spent, go the Mugen aero route if you want more aggressiveness. Then the rest for seats and call it a day lol.

 

non concave cr kai don't rook good

IMO anyway

 

I would hit it.




Not. I love the fit of yours just not the red emblems

 

This. Some wheels should just not be made in non-concave sizing, TE37 and CR Kai are the first that come to mind for me.

 

Here is a set of 17x7 work emotion cr kai wheels on a Honda Work Emotion, Gold wheels, Buffer

 

Your car right now + lower + Works > that dream.

Leave the flat black to Rough World, domestics and drift cars.

 

Please keep the flat black away from everything except RWB.

 

plus it's still slow. save up your $ on your future car.

 

Work is nice i like mine. But VOLK is always a winner. I had CE28N Time Attacks on my AP2 and boy do i miss those. Light as a mofo!

Advan RG2 is nice too. VOLK and ADVAN are a lil old school but i always have loved those wheels. and a Mugen kit is always FTW!!! might be my next mod.

 

You all are right on all fronts...but about that flat black (not going to do it but still want it)

 

But I think proving an earlier point, the sexy RWD coupe looks good in matte but the Fit does not. Probably this has something to do with the Fit not being a terribly pretty car to begin with!

If good looks is your thing and your additional budget is $5k, I bet you can find a relatively new coupe to pimp out. Haven't given this a lot of thought, but: Scion Tc, Mazda RX8, Civic coupe (rare: a pretty Honda, easy to make look nice.) Those old SXs and the rest of the Japanese sports cars went the way of the dino until the current Scion/Subaru twins came about, of course those are not cheap (affordable, but not cheap) cars because they are new, low-volume, and high-spec.

I say make your red badge stock (or black) and enjoy driving a nice car

 

BTW what's wrong w/ the red badge?

 

Let me see if I can get this across in a useful way because in no way do I intend to criticize someone's car and I have seen yours enough to know you certainly know how to take care of it and make it look like you want. You can just take my observations and do whatever you want, either ignoring them or disagreeing or anything else.

Mostly I think there is a risk in using too WIDE a color range on a car (or when decorating a room in a home, or building a corporate logo, or anything else.) Nothing is wrong with red, or using it on the badge. I think (as a general guideline) you want two or maybe three primary colors and of course they should all sort of go together. On yours you have black mostly, yellow/gold from the wheels/fogs/turns and the natural white that reflects off the lenses. The last one, unfortunately you can't do much about. Three I think is sufficient, and the red is an "extra" color.

Note I do not say that red is of itself undesirable - it's only that there are too many colors going on at once. That's it! Nothing else wrong with the red badge. You could even make the fogs clear, the wheels black or silver, and add another red touch somewhere (RS badge?) if you love the red accent And if you think it's not good advice, that's OK too because you're talking to someone whose current modifications are adding a condenser guard, reaiming the headlights, rectifying the Bluetooth lack, and putting on those convex side mirrors for blind spots.

 

I like the look what grille and bumper? I always have to step back on mods when I get a new car I went over broad on my Miata will never get back what I spent. I like my Fit a lot probably will keep it for quite awhile but I am trying to do mods in stages first any suspension since after a winter here it will be harder to work on. Then exterior followed by interior. It's not the fastest car so I am trying to work it main attributes such as handling.
