Calvin's GE8 Build Thread!
Hey everyone! I'm Calvin a fellow fit owner in SoCal. I got my 2012 Honda Fit Sport GE8 A/T Back in May of 2013. It was pre-owned for 2 months with only 200 miles. It already had the trunk scuff protector, floor mats, trunk mat, and trunk deck lid. First thing I did when I got it was replace all the interior lights with white LEDS and 35% tint for the rear windows.

Shortly after i put on OEM Visors and did the DIY Spoiler tilt

Well, the most important, nothing worse happened. Damage looks less than the drama of hearing that Bmr's brakes screaching to a halt!!!
Pics are great!!! Chrome trim and tint - nice touch!!!
Will be putting stickers (like you) but i-vtec DOHC in RED on the rear doors when the GK finally arrives.

It's not as bad as what happened to mine... A box truck stopped for no reason, and I ended up hitting it and my hood and front bumped were messed up.

less than a month after that collision, I was hit by an uninsured driver who was speeding in a 35mph zone. I was switching lanes, next thing your know....bam.



He had to be going about 50mph since he ended up about 6 cars ahead of me seconds after the collision

Added a blue windshield banner for some extra shade. Chose blue cause I like the SPOON banner, but didn't want SPOON on it. Also, how she currently sits after lowering and adjustments
