i did mines today but didnt do it as good as the pics in the DIY...still looks nice though, im diggin it.

 

Looking good. I like the wheels more now for some reason. The red badge really works on those white cars. Type r y0!

 

Nice thread

 

*****UPDATE*****


we recently got some snow....and more snow, and well, more snow. my driveway is shit, and had a huge ice patch across it, so i had to drive over it to get out, or home. the lip, and bumper scrape everytime of course. and well, the lip said "NO MORE!!!"

 

Thanks for this DIY post and with everybody's suggestions I got a good idea of exactly how I will install it on my White Fit. +1 rep!! Thanks Sandblasted

 

post up some pics when you get it on. i wanted a white fit, but they couldn't get me one, so i had to settle for black......i hold a special place in my heart for white cars.....lol so i love seeing what they look like

 

while i'm in this thread, i might as well update how my lip is, compared to last week when i posted. lol. the drivers side, is gone. i have 3/4 of a lip on my car now. lol. i have pics on my phone, my cord is in the car, i'll have them up in a couple of hours. also, we are getting pounded by a god damn weather bomb and its snowin like a mutha out there. oh how i hate winter, and snow, and wish i lived in sunny cali with nice roads to drive my lowered car on. sigh

 

pics as promised...lol. kinda snowy today....yea....the lip is fucked....

 

WOW that crazy weather for any car or any THING to go through. Im really surprised that cars can even be started in that kind of environment. Im such a california native. When it's winter I'm thinkin "ah man it might rain this week which means i dont get to wash my car" or "it might down in the 40's today i better wear a light jacket" LOL. But i would love to visit Canada someday.

And my lip is holding up just fine heres some pics


Oh and I took these Yesterday 1/26/11 it was 68 degrees or so. Sorry about your snow storm! Come down for the Bay area Fit winter meet should be sunny!

 

LMAO! oh my. i'm so jealous. my car hasn't been washed in a few months now. no sense. snow, salt, sand...and 35 below zero just 2 days ago......i'd love to go to cali someday....its a dreem place for me....wanna come to canada, comon up...but you have to come up in the middle of winter. lol. our summers are great, but are winters are what you have to experience if you never have. lol

 

so i ventured out into the snow, and well, more of my lip is gone. lmao

 

Let's get an update on the lip please. I've been reading this thread for the last twenty minutes or so. I feel like I've been watching a good t.v. show and the last episode is missing from the series lol. Trying to find out the "fate of the lip"

 

I love how the snow is just packed into the grill. Does that cause any overheating issues with limited air flow. I guess in that temperature it impossible for anything to OVERheat haha. Bummer that the lip has given up the ghost but in the spring you can just spend 13 more dollars and have a brand new one. not bad if it last a year or so.

 

Great Pic.


Reminds me of when someone has a mouth full of whipped cream and smiles




Clay

 

UPDATE:

Well since I have installed my lip I have had no problems so far. I have hit the lip against parking curbs and curbs and would get out of my car to see it bent but when I back up it is fine. It has gotten a little dirty and seemed to lose its blackness but I just use Armor All tire shine spray and spray the lip to make it glisten

But so far all is well. But I also did not have to drive in the snow like others haha. But still I wonder how mine would hold up in the snow cause I used tons of screws!

 

same here, just use armorall protectant for interior and plastic and it seems to keep it looking better than new. I think it also helped to loosen the rubber a little bit so it wasn't sticking straight out and probably helps with the occasional scrape being that the rubber is softer and looser rather than dried out and brittle. one of my favorite mods that was a diy for sure glad i found this and thanks for writing it up

 

lol...i thought that pic was a good one too. the fog lights are in there somewhere too eh. as for the lip, theres pieces here and there hanging, and it looks like i have something broke off my car. i get ppl saying to me all the time...man, you broke something on the front of your car...i laugh and say yeah. i'll take some pics this weekend of whats left. i've been working 5 ten hour shifts a week now and traveling 100kms each way...so i leave in the dark and get home in the dark. glad you've been having fun with the thread. new lip for spring for sure, maybe work on making it look a bit lower......i got some ideas

 

Looks good when you cover it in duct tape

 

Dude I am digging the duct tape on the lip! I am gonna go by me some zebra patterned duct tape today! And as far as the update on my lip, well after scraping a ton (damn tyler streets) and hitting curbs when I park, it is still on. Yup, still holding on strong!

Will post a pic if I can find some zebra tape to put on my fit. I have been trying to figure out a low cost way of pimpin the fit

 

haha, duude, zebra print for the win!
