Can't seem to convince the wife to get me to drop her Fit, but she does love the idea of white out Fit. I showed her a pick of another member's TW Fit with white Sport rims ( I forget who's it was, sorry). Just wondering if anyone has plasti-dipped or powdercoated their sport rims and kept the stock ride height? I would love to see a pic of it if you're willing to share

 

run swifts and she probably wont be able to tell the difference.

i have a tw '09 but prefer the stock silver wheels especially from the cleaning point of view.

 

Thanks for suggesting swifts. I'm looking at their site now and it looks like a minimal 1.2/1.0 drop. And I like their emphasis on maintaining comfort level. Could be something we can agree on. Meeting in the middle. I wonder if this will void our extended bumper-to-bumper warranty?

 

I believe it will void anything related to the suspension and maybe axles, but nothing concerning the engine or transmission.

 

^^ yah, the shocks/strut damper would be out of warraty but the others should be fine. dealer might be a pita and not cover your cv joint if something happened to it down the road.

the swifts are great. makes the car feel like it should, and does not overwelm the stock dampers.

 

There's some pics in this thread:

I think you guys are right. That's why I asked if plastid-dip would look good with stock height.

Thanks!

 

yah but dampers are cheap to replace. swift your ride.

 

Haha! We will see. I think I'll go and plasti-dip it first and go from there.

 

I was thinking about doing that to my stock wheels but idk

Also getting springs to drop it just a bit

 

dont do them at stock height. it wont look good, dont bother. put the money you would spend on the plasti-dip for suspension!

 

Yes they look fine, here are mine!

Red is just red plastidip, bronze is black plasti dip'd then painted with duplicolor wheel paint bronze +clear

 

Very nice!
