its a canadian Fit Sport, never came with paddle steering, all i lost was cruise control which i never use
the canadian Fit's got the shaft, i wish i went down to the states and bought a fit, our Fit's dont have paddle shift, no navigation, no stability control, no map lights, and i didnt even get a spare tire, it came with some liquid sealant

awww that sucks for you canadians. what are the incentives for getting a sport when you dont get map lights and paddles.

either ways, your fit is looking sweet. keep up the progress!

Looks sweet--you should paint the rear "diffuser" area black. I think that would set it off.

when did you buy yours?
also is yours manual transmission?
i asked the salesman at the dealer that sold me the fit, and he said it had to meet a weight restriction to qualify as a fuel efficient car to get my $1000 off, and the auto were heavier, so they took out the spare tire to meet that weight limit, not sure if that offer is still valid, so they may have put the spare tire back in the auto Fit's

surprisingly no, this setup on my Yaris rubbed quite a bit so i was afraid it might rub on the Fit,
so i did roll the rear fenders and played around with the front fender liner, but not much ribbing at all, only some big bumps i will hear the tire graze the plastic liner and its quite minor,
so i think i will lower it some more this week

i've got the same intake... i love the sound of it.

For a couple months, i had a K&N cone filter at the end of it instead, and that produced a whole other sound that sounded equally great as the PRM. try it out when you get bored, lol.

i have lowered my car alittle more than 2"
they are not moded, they have about 1/2" left to go
if the collars are removed would gain anthoer 1-1.25", just to give you an idea of how much more it can drop

i was so thinking of doing that, since the k&n filters are easy to get, when i have to clean the prm filter i would just have a backup to swap in, did you use the RC-9630 filter? i think thats the one for the Fit, short and narrow, i dont think the normal fat ones will clear the master cylinder

I've always wanted a set of those AXIS tail lights. But I ended up buying the depo red / clear lights because it was cheaper.

anyways, more pics of those tails
