Thank you! Will do!

Thank you you so much!

New plastic front lip and rear diffuser
 

Hell Everyone,




So my first front lip I made ended up falling off. I actually liked it a lot but because it took me over 6 hours to remove all of the adhesive from the bottom of the front bumper i committed to a bolt on front lip. Original choice was this mock unpainted garage V lip:

However the seller quoted a shipping charge that was as much as the lip itself.




So i settled for this instead:

While I was at it I picked up a mock noblesse rear bumper cover. I’ve seen it here before on the forum and really liked how it looked. The bumper cover is a matte black but for the front lip I went black gloss because I figure i could always spray it with plasti sip if I wanted matte black. Both the front lip and rear bumper cover are pretty straight forward. They use at least two original clips to the bumpers and have holes for screwing into the bumpers. The rear bumper cover does use double sided 3m tape.




Be sure to clean the application area then wipe down that same area with rubbing alcohol then apply this special 3m adhesive primer:




3M 4298 Adhesion Promoter, 5...



The front lip came with screws where as the rear bumper cover didn’t. Luckily the front lip had extra screws i used. Drilling into my bumpers was pretty scary but i applies the rear bumper cover/diffuser first and it only required two holes to be drilled which gave me the confidence to do the front.




Btw yes, I know i need wheels but i figured while i save up for wheels & tires i might as well do these add ons and get a better feel of what it will look like once fully complete.




Please let me know you’re thoughts guys!




Thanks,




Dan

lookin good




I have the same rear diffuser, cept mine is glossy.

I have the same front lip, but in matte and I destroyed it. I bought a 2nd one, this time I went gloss, to match my glossy rear diffuser.

Looks nice.

great looking!!!

Thank You!! By the pictures for mine I really thought it’d be semi glossy but oh well. What happened to the front lip? Just daily driving messed it up?

Thank you all! If anyone has any recommendations/advice I’d appreciate them.

i think you are going the righ way
I personally would change wheels and springs

thank you!! Im looking at this style of wheel but i really want a 7”. Any particular springs you’d recommend to go down about 1”?

Konig Helium YHI MATTE BLACK Wheel (15x6.5____/4x100mm)

I have Megan Racing on my Fit, in the specs you can read that this model down less than an 1" in front but mine down like 1,2", i really dont know if is because my Fit is year 2017, this springs model in particular was made for 15-16, but they put a + in they display so that suppouse to mean that are made for years 16 and up, I decide for this brand because i heard good opinions abou it, also the eibach are a really good option, in my case i decide to choose megan because suppouse to down 1", but in real life they down the same as eibach to my ride, now I have the doubt if had been the same with eibach ( they also made the springs for 15-16). but in your case if you want down more than 1" go for eibach.

did you cut bump stop?

Looks good! Thanks for the info, did you feel better control on turns with Megan? Have you already added RCAs or bushings? I really want a better ride/handling.

Btw what does cut bump mean?

Noo, why do you think I did?

definitely you gonna feel better control on turns, I guess you gonna feel better control once you down your car no matter with brand you choose, but the quality depend of the brand you choose, there is some good options out there. in my case I only put the springs with all the OEM parts and feels really good in turns, much better control, for the price I think they are doing the job.

and I have the same doubt about cut bump, but I already ask him

That front lip looks great, where’d you purchase the rear diffuser? Thanks Ethan

Hello Ethan, sorry for the suuuper late reply. I havent been on in a while to try and calm the itch to spend on my fit. I bought the rear diffuser from ebay link below. It says sold out but I think if you keep a saved search one should come back up again.

hope you're doing well.

Thanks,

Hello Everyone,

Boy have I been busy with my fit. Finally invested in legit HFP sideskirts. Reason for choosing the HFP is several reasons but mainly the price was right and they let me keep my mud guards. Shout out to Galaxy for letting me know these were compatible with 2016 and no modifications needed. I also added some fog lights since I love how they look and I think I've only seen one LX with fogs added. Below is a breakdown with plenty of photos for both the skirts and fogs. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know and thanks for visiting!


HFP SIDE SKIRTS
I purchased them from this Honda dealer on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-OEM...72.m2749.l2649

The skirts are painted and shipped quickly for less than $340.00 altogether. Installation was pretty straight forward using the attached PDF. My key recommendation would be to make sure you purchase the proper adhesion promoter. It must be the 3M automotive adhesion promoter. The ones I found on Amazon were just your regular non-automotive promoters. I had to get mine at the Advance Auto Parts. Other recommendation would be to of course clan the area properly then wipe with alcohol but once you've removed the backing for the double sided tape and pressed the skirt to the car you can use a rubber wheel to press it down gently. I bought mine at the hardware store for $3.00.

FOG LIGHTS
I purchased them at the link below on Amazon:


Adding fogs is tricky. First, the plastic housing has clips that are so flimsy we had to use a zip tie on one of the clips on each one. Second, the electrical part a super tricky because the instructions that came with the fogs are pretty weak. Also, the fitment of the fogs wasn't exact to the plastic housing so we had to shave some plastic down.

Basically the fogs connect directly to the batter and you'll need to use the provided connector to connect it to the daytime running lights. The reason for this is you don't want the fog light button on all of the time and also I wanted the fogs to be able to be on independently of the headlights. Another challenge is you have to poke through the thick rubber where the main wiring connects (pic provided) so that it can connect cleanly to the provided fog button. The grounds were connected to a couple different bolts on the frame of the front of the car and the fuse was screwed in just next to the outside of the frame next to the radiator.

Below is a link on how to remove the front bumper, its highly recommended you check this video out and also buy extra replacement clips as these guys rolled around very easily.
