Im probably gonna have to pull mine with my new setup. Did you take it somewhere or DIY? Does it look "non oem?"

Rented a fender roller from TRU motorsports. $40. You can't tell it's been done really unless you compare to a stock one side by side

I would quote myself, but to save time, on the other side of the plastic is my oil pan. Not protected by anything as you see all the protection has been ripped off.

And thank you for posting a kinda low car. I'm glad I discovered who the forum hater is who doesn't even have a nice car himself to back up any talk.

mike410b 07-30-2012 10:24 AM

OMG your oil pan has 1"+ of clearance? tell us more! You've accomplished so much.

Its so difficult to lower a car.

Wait.

No.

Its far from it.

BTW, you suck at cars. Don't come at me bro.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. I missed when my car looked like this. It was so functional then.

It's not difficult to lower a car, but to achieve proper fitment, it takes time.

I'm bad at cars?

Hahahaha. You are now my favorite member on this board.
Can you post any high res shots of your car? I'm interested to see what you drive!

jdmjunkie561 07-30-2012 10:41 AM

U know what's sad? The sarcasm that people have with one another when the forums are ment to share and learn on certain subjects about unknown parts of the car build but yet smart asses come on and waste time! If u are that great then Why are u here ? general discussions dont need smart asses! But back to the discussion!

I'm here to see what people have been doing to the Fit, and that guy got butthurt that I said I haven't found anyone that low or wide yet, then decides to call me out. That is what happened.

I just wanted to see what offsets people have been running and the luck they have had with pulling fenders and stretching tires. I assumed with a thread title like this, fitment fans would be jumping on this thread posting up THEIR OWN cars with the details instead of talking tough about everyone elses cars.

I've been a great member on many forums (DSMTuners to VWVortex to E90Post) but I just can't stand guys who brag about others cars when someone says something. All my friends probably have the nicest, lowest, cleanest VWs in the Northeast, but I have never posted their cars once when someone was talking about stance/fitment/low.

Joined 2 months ago, less than 30 posts, hasn't seen low Fits, probably didn't use the search function to find low Fits, he and his friends are God's gift to the "stance" world...

Go back under your bridge, troll

You are a probationary member with 8 Tech posts on DSMTuners... 280awhp on a mustang dyno with a 16G @ 20psi seems a little low. Got a log?

All the tuning maps and logs and everything I had from my DSMLink are on my old Macbook, so whoever stole that has a pretty nice conservative tune on there.

The car had 33k original miles on it, so I was in no rush to blow it up (until my father totaled it.... :()

Bought Fit 2 months ago, why the heck would I join this forum before I got it???
30 posts seems like a lot, there is nothing to talk about on here and it's not a very active board.
Search function? I know how to find picture threads, and I just wasn't impressed, I'm sorry.

Fit's can even run 14 and 15 inch wheels! There is no excuse not to find a ton of crushingly low cars. Hahaha.

God's gift? That is the worst use of that. But I'll post a picture so you guys understand where my standards are at so you can stop acting like I should be impressed at all the cars on here:

My buddy Pat's car

Cool, two pics of completely average VW's. I'm so impressed by them >_>

And also, Style 5's are my least favorite BBS ever. You're not helping your cause.

As for high res shots of my car? I don't have any. Its just like any other Fit currently in progress.

Average? Shaved fenders, door cups, boser hoods, 3 piece wheels, R32s, yep.... average.... :rotfl: .....

I don't care about your opinion of my wheels. I loved them and they were pretty low offset after adapters/
I build my cars for me and I happen to get enough buzz for a feature on one of the biggest car blogs in the world right now. So I must be bad at cars

A lot of talk in this thread for actually having nothing to contribute to.
If you don't have any experience with a low Fit with wide, low offset wheels and stretched tires, why did you even bother posting?

I made this thread to gain some info, not to bicker with people over other people's cars.
