Mugen style body kit for USDM model 2015+ Honda fit exist!!
3rd Gen GK Specific Fit Exterior Modifications & JDM Styling Sub-ForumThreads discussing exterior modifications and JDM styling for the 3rd Gen GK Honda Fit
Front lip is tight and fits pretty well. Slight gap on the driver side where the fog light cover is. If you paint the lip body color, it would be hard to notice
Sideskirts need to be heated up a little to make them shape to the body better. There were dimples in my lips from when they were released from the mold. They had to be filled in and smoothed
Rear lip fitment is pretty bad. Needs to be heated up to get it to get closer to the bumper (otherwise there's like a 1/4" gap in the middle). But when you do that, on the right corner where it screws into the bumper, there is now a gap that will require like 3 washers or so. Corners where it meets fake grille vents isnt that tight either
Lip kit is still at the bodyshop waiting for paint. I'll post closeups showing imperfections when i get it on
If you're a perfectionist, i'd pass on this kit. If you're getting it for the hell of it since it's only 250$ (be prepared to spend 3x more on paint and labor if you want it to look decent), go for it.
I haven't fully installed the sides and rear yet, but do you really just screw these right to the underside of the body? I think I'm just worried about rust forming.
Careful with these if you live anywhere that has cold winters. It was in the 20s for a few days and I came out of work to a crack in the center section of the front lip. The lip basically shattered in several places after that. Whatever material they used to make (at least the first round) of these kits is really brittle when cold.

That was one of my fears about purchasing this lip. I want one bad, but we just had a lot of snow, and while I was driving through it with my car I was just thinking about how much damage it would do if I had purchased the lip kit last summer. Of course I could remove it for the winter, but that's a bit of a hassle.
The ad says the lips are made of polypropylene, which is used in a lot of newer cars and is probably the same material that the bumpers are made out of, just not held to as high of quality as an OEM. I figured they would probably be FRP until I read that they could be better formed with a heat gun.
These were everywhere on eBay for $130. Now it looks like they're going for $500. Any other source for these?
I believe there is a distributor located in Southern Cali. I have yet to find them! Will share info if I do discover the company as I am visiting So.Cal again next weekend! Can't wait to run thru the mountains in my friend's 2018 STi!
I contacted a few of the sellers with the $500 and $900 pricing, the reason why the price was so high is because they are all waiting shipments for more lips and "eBay system" raised their prices to prevent people from purchasing. I'd like to purchase a front lip as well so let's keep each other posted on this thread

Thank you! Very good to know that more will be coming. I was interested in the lip and skirts, but I am even more interested in the rear bumper piece now that I know that the material is PP and not FRP, and can be heated to Fit a little better. The above story about the lip becoming brittle and shattering in the cold weather does make me a little hesitant though.
so after hours and days days of searching I realized this once cheap kit is now super expensive and unreliable. Furthermore the anti dumping laws, tariffs, and outrageous shipping charges make this more difficult to get.
i decided to say fuck it I’ll do it myself.
i bought a Taiwanese set for the JDM bumpers (minus the front lip because I opted for a full mugen front bumper) ordered on Nov. 19 2018 and expecting it to come December or January due to holiday and Anti Dumping law delays.
i will be working with my buddy’s body kit hustle, who’s instagram is @arcadeultra_ to modify the rear apron to fit a USDM model and possibly sell reps for you guys.
if you are interested stay posted I will update as the year comes along 2019.
you can also DM me on my IG @baja.brigade or his @preciadoe and @arcadeultra
I have this same kit and bought it when it first came out, paid around $250 shipped to Washington state. Was checking around for rear wings for the Fit and saw that these same kits not go for over $1000 on ebay!!!
Glad I bought mine when it first came out. OP is correct with fitment, it is pretty close but there will be some "massaging " needed if you want it show quality. And since this is my wife's daily I really don't care for show quality.
