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.

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?

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.

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?

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

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:




https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F264288353592




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




So i settled for this instead:




https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F253913117543




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... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G2BHLG6...p_mob_ap_share




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










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.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Rear-...53.m1438.l2649

hope you're doing well.

Thanks,
Dan
