Hello all, I picked up my 09 Fit Sport 5MT about 4 months ago after my girlfriend leased an 09 base. I previously owned an 04 Mini Cooper S, but when everything started to fail on it I decided it was time to go back to Honda. I've only done a few things so far, but I have more planned. Here are some pictures:



















and one of the Mini: (you can see the girlf's Fit in the background)


I'm excited for some meets come warmer weather!

I like the painted oem wheels.

 

is the grill line painted or taped over?

 

I usually don't like painted OEM wheels, but they look pretty nice in bronze. I'm not sure about the red border on the grill though. Just need to drop.

 

thats actually not nhbp, its some crystal black someshit

 

Looking good bro. The wheels look so good im glad that people paint there stockers. I love the stock wheels and id rather keep them and paint em rather than get new wheels. I like the grille too man. Looks sick!

 

Good looking out. Yes, it's actually Crystal Black Pearl.

 

aw man not a big fan of GEs but yers looks nice dude. the rim color looks rly good and as for tha red trim on the grill, isnt tha like a vw thing? btw how did u put up wit tha mini dude? i drove one for a day nd i felt so uncomfortable!

 

i'm liking the wheel color choice. i'm not too sure i like the faux-GTi grill, though.

 

I masked then painted. I just wanted to try something out that I had not seen before on a Fit.

My future plans do include a drop (probably tein), greddy exhaust, and a k&n intake. Have to get money first though.

And sorry about the NHBP mix up, that's what I knew it as when I had my 06 Civic. heh

 

wow...
nice front grill...
like VW Golf grill!

 

looks good man!

 

lol i love that mini! i have a thing for red minis with black rims,oh and the fit looks great too.

 

nice job on the grill garnish red detail... did you just paint your rims?! looks really nice. i'm planning to do the same with my oem mags.

 

Hahah thats so funny I was looking at the Dealer plate and Thats where I bought my s2000. Its funny because I lived in Michigan at the time. I was looking at it thinking Continental how do I know that.

I was testing out the Red Grill line myself. Was not quite feeling it. So I put it all black again. However I think the one like would look better then the circle-ish on your car.

 

How did you paint the rims anyhow. I am looking at a set off of Craigs and want to give it a a shot

 

It's actually pretty simple to do..did it to my RSX some years ago. You need to get some 300 grade sand paper - something that will make your rims nice and rough for the paint to stick to. Pick up some Rust-Oleum spray paint from Home Depot as well as some Rust-Oleum clear coat and just spray 4-5 coats of paint and 3-4 coats of clear coat depending on how shiny you want it. It takes about 3 hours to dry, so plan on spending your entire day without a car.

 

how do you paint the front emblem black? I've heard of sanding it, then primer, flat or gloss black, and clear coat.. am i right?

 

I always loved that color for the rims. Great job.

 

I love the red around the grille! Looks very sharp!!!! Great looking fit you have
