Pocky's 2013 FIT

So I wanted to post some photos of our current DD after some basic mods to make it look proper!

Purchased Sept 2012. Has about 23K on the clock already. Wife drives 100 miles a day.

It was bought purely as a nice DD with lots of room! I was only planning to add little by little to enhance the experience of the vehicle. But came across a good deal on RPF1's, I couldn't pass up. So with wheels, we gotta have a proper stance too! Got some SWIFT Springs to go along with the wheels.

Plenty more to come, but this will do for now.

I like your fit as I have a 2013 white fit and I am holding back putting rpf1s on it.

Car looks great what is the specs on your RPF-1s? Both cars look great. What color is your IS300?

Thanks!

Specs 17x7 +43 SBC finish.

The IS300 is Diamond White. So a trio of white cars.

I was hell bent on getting Orangeburst for the Fit, but we opt for the "easy" color.

Never thought the day I would ever own a new car but after dumping money into multiple cars and always needing to repair them from poor first purchases on my part. I am glad I bought a new car. There are many differences from an older car to a new car but I feel new is a good way so you just dont have to think about anything.

I have to do so little to the Fit that I just want to buy an older car to mess with

Both clean cars OP, welcome

Thank you!

I'm actually quite the opposite, I much prefer a used vehicle. Mainly from a price standpoint. You just SAVE so much that is, if you can find a car that has been taken care of.

However, you will never get that awesome new car buying process feeling.

I should have said it all depends on the current living situation you are in. I have always bought used cars and most of them have been great with minor work but I am crazy picky and fix everything as I can not ride around on blown shocks and misfiring spark plugs. But when life changes and requires you to drive 2 hours to work and you can not worry about the vehicle you drive then for me a new car was needed even though you may spend 20k over 5 years. Yes with used cars you can get lucky and not spend a dime on them. But anyways I like your car as I want 16in rpf1s for the fit but I do not want to spend the money.

That is true, completely agree! Wait for a used set, as a incentive, the RPF1 might even give you more gains in MPG. My 17's were lighter than the factory 16" Sport wheels with tires.

Thank you sir!

Yeah it's still in the garage, haven't had time to get it painted yet. On my day off I always remember AFTER the body shop is closed.

Your fit looks fresh. NT03's ftw on the S2K. I just sold my set off of my old accord and bought the rpf1's for my fit.

Yeah the old set on your Accord, that's what I wanted for the Fit! It looks real good on the GE8. You should have re-drilled it haha
