V_Fit's SSM: "A Honda in Disguise"
 
so... it's been a long time coming, (nearly a year in the making!) but i felt my GE SSM needed to set itself apart before i start creating just another useless picture thread of how awesome a 'stock' fit looks like.. so here goes:

Nice um Wing. My advice is simple:
1.Dump it
2. Wheels
3. Lose the transformer badges.


After that she will look real nice.

Ummm.

Sorry but your car really doesn't pull off that GT wing.

Hi....The Fit look nice.I can see that you like Transformers movies.I like them too.It's a shame that Megan wasn't in the third one.She is really a HOT girl.About your Fit the Transformers badge look good but i hope you still have the Honda badge in case you want the OEM look again.I think that with black aftermarket rims your ride will look really good.Imagine a nice black rims with transformers center caps.SICK!!!Did your ride has a drop?If not it will look MORE better too.Have fun driving it my friend.:vtec:

Lovin that hood. I can't tell, but it looks like your decals say DOHC. Your car's a SOHC. ;)

Vanct Sep 15, 2011 10:56 AM

Needs moar downfarce! lol jk

I agree in most part with Bthasht, it would be a lot better without the Transformers badges (coming from a huge Transformers fan). You've got some very nice parts on the car, keep it clean. :)

in response to criticisms:

1) the wing is either love it or hate it. there's too few aftermarket spoiler's for the GE. and lets face it.. its pretty much non existent or extremely rare for the USDM. to own a piece of J's Racing that actually fits on a USDM is pretty cool. it's a unique wing.. take it for what it is...

2) yea i know i need a drop and some rims. but here's my explanation.
a) my fit's the daily driver. why get an "economy car" and fix it up just to hide it in the garage? it's living its purpose. so the wear and tear of driving to-from-work and everywhere else, 'springs' would be cheaper, but will eventually ruin the shocks/dampeners, so i'm looking into coil-overs...
b) i'm making 'use' of the stock rims/tires, 70% tread left, eh. i'll drive em til they go bald.

3)the transformers emblems. yea. i could go with the red "H" but meh. i'd rather be unique (like the rest of my fit) i like getting ppl doing double takes on the crosswalk, or walking out to my car in a parking lot finding ppl standing there going. "i think it's a honda? naw.. maybe it's one of those fancy scions..toyota makes em.." i love leaving ppl guessing what kind of car this is underneath the surface. like the title of this thread; "honda in disguise"

mike410b Sep 15, 2011 12:42 PM

Umm to compare your car to that GE is a disgrace to that GE. Look at the things he has on his car to balance the aggressive of the GT wing. You're lacking in all of those things.

urbanoutfit Sep 15, 2011 12:44 PM

wth? this car is ricey. people stop and look at the care thinking what a damn shame.

This wing is more elevated than yours, from what I can tell from the pictures. If you can do the same, and not have it like it was just slapped on there, it would look much better

V_Fit Sep 15, 2011 01:28 PM

just thought i'd share my progress. didn't realize i was building a fire. thanx for the flames guys.. next time bring marshmellows. i'll bring the graham crackers and hersey bars. we can makes s'mores? sing a little kumbaya?

forreal. build your car for you, not for car forum "critics". i like your tails. keep doing what you do. the only thing i'd try to dissuade you from doing is your planned 6000k HIDs if they're not behind a nice clean projector.

Perrenoud Fit Sep 15, 2011 09:37 PM

Look'n Good

A mild drop could be cool?? what are your thoughts V?
Mike :D

Hey you stole my name. LOL.

fawbusha Sep 15, 2011 10:50 PM

Not my style at all but I'm a firm believer of doing whatever you want to your car.

blackvitzrs Sep 15, 2011 11:07 PM
