I plan on some suspension mods next. Has anybody used the H&R Springs?

 

Are those Ferrari stickers lol? nice taillights btw!

 

lol I was wondering the same thing! Car looks real good, I'm thinking of blacking out my grille too once I get it back from the shop but I'm not sure if it'll look right on an orange fit..

 

I never would have thought a Ferrari sticker would EVER look good on a car. Well done, sir! Welcome to the group! Eibach pro/sportline, Swift, and Tanabe DF/GF's have all been battle tested on this site with good results. I would imagine the H&R's are just as good. Shocks will go faster if you just buy springs, but it is the most cost effective way to lower your Ferra...er, Fit. =P

 

Thanks for the compliments. I have applied for a prestige license plate that reads: ENZO JR It will compliment the "Ferrari In Training" theme, I think.

Who has the best adjustable strut/ shock package for the GE8? I don't want to go to the expense of coilovers. I think springs, shocks and a rear sway bar will be all that I need.

 

Wow...really really really rice. Stock suspension and tires...check. Race Inspired Cosmetically Enhancing stickers....check.
I'm betting everyone who sees you on the road is laughing hysterically. Seriously, how can anyone think Ferrari stickers look legit on a Honda?!? This is why people who drive Hondas get made fun of. Thanks for giving me pix to add to the "local ricers" thread on other forums!:thumbup:

 

very nice! It works really well.

 

OP - Therein lies the rub....there are currently no aftermarket dampers readily available for the GE. In order to get higher damper rates at this point, you have to go with a coilover. I took a chance on some Tein's and am very happy...but only cuz I got a great deal. If ride quality is important to you AT ALL, consider AMR (custom, pricey), Bilstein, or Tein. Most other coilovers come from Taiwan or other market and have been known to have very high spring rates and damper rates, so ride quality suffers. However, if you wanna DROP that thing and you can deal with a rough ride, many others will work for less money.

As with everything else, the saying holds true with coilovers: You get what you pay for!

 

LOL +rep on the F.I.T. theme... for some reason you made it work haha

 

Nice photos bro - I think the yellow sticker blend in nice with the red...

 

good job with the car dude!!! The Ferrari stickers are okay dude! but the tail lights i'm loving broooo! where'd you get em or did you do it yourself?! thanks!

 

I did the tail lights myself. I'm very experienced in the application of adhesive-backed films and getting the film to conform to the compound curves of the tail light was still really challenging.

 

dang... it looks like it dude! good job.. good job... are those the same with the tints we use on the windows?!

 

A FITERARI. I was going to get this plate but already have my BLACK3SR.

 

I didn't use a conventional window tint film. Those films are not intended for complex compound curved surfaces The film that I used was Oracal Transparent 8300-073 Dark Gray. It's a more flexible film and it's available in 15" x 10 yd. rolls for about $30USD.

 

There's NO amount of training that will make a Fit a Ferrari, not even a mid-engined Dino V6 in our car with RWD. Ferrari's are awesome cars for sure, but honestly, that's a bit much IMO, well, our opinion.

I hope you don't get offended but I'm sure you expect it coming, right

To the origninator of this thread, I just noticed your in Georgia, were you on the Dragon the 2nd weekend in Oct? The reason I ask is because I saw a red GE out there and I waved to yah, but didn't notice the Ferrari stickers though.

 

The Ferrari stickers were done on a very lighthearted note. I had just sold off my '08 MINI Cooper S (with mods). Even next to the MINI, the FIT has some serious performance deficiencies. But the gas mileage is slightly better than the MINI and the cost of maintenance and reliability will prove to be much better. I know that is absurd to compare a Honda with a Ferrari, but sometimes you can "own" a Ferrari with a Honda...movie

 

It's been a long time since I've posted any pics of my Fit here. It's been through a lot of changes in the last 2 years:

 

to each his own. way to be different. i like the drop though
