Hello all. Wanted to start my own build thread and share some photos as it progresses. Only had the car for 2 weeks and I've already made it an itasha.

I have plans of tinting the windows as soon as I get my license plate and registration in when I get my tint waiver.

Ordered Enkei RPF1 already and going to powder coat them teal.
Lowering on TEIN springs tomorrow, but for now, stock wheels and height.

The character is Kirisaki Chitoge from the anime, Nisekoi.

I do not like GK.

I occasionally like Itasha style. Not this one, execution gets a D-.

 

Give it time mike you will soon come to love the GK's. If I remember correctly you where not a big fan of the GE's

 

I lowered my Fit on TEIN springs today. Part#SKB74-AUB00
Dropped about 1.5" Exactly what I wanted. Not slammed like my previous car.
I can actually drive over speed bumps without snaking and go up the driveway.
The install was pretty easy. Took an hour to do all 4.

Some updates.
I installed the air deflector onto the hood.
Also tinted it out 5% all the way around.
It really changes the way the car looks just from such small details.
My wheels are in the shop getting powder coated at the moment.

Drop looks really good. Are you planning to put any graphics on your hood? What color are the wheels going to be?

 

I plan on it. I gotta mock up a design. The Wheels are gonna be jamaican teal over chrome RPF1.

 

Oh nice! I see it there in your avatar duh! So what is the process for doing this? Are those just vinyl and do you cut them out yourself? How do you get such a high res image like that?

Love that Evangelion sunshade btw. I've been looking for a Misato doll to hang from my rearview mirror. I had a Ham Ham Hamtaro one in my Subaru, but I feel a definite Misato vibe from my black Fit. Either her or a Gundam Haro doll.

 

I had the vinyl shop print, cut, and install it for me. I did my own photoshop mock up, gave it to them, and they took care of it.

 

I finally got my Enkei RPF1 powder coated!
Jamaican teal over chrome.
The photos don't do it justice at all.
Also put the Project Mu lug nuts on too.
They are similar in color.
17 inch wheels look so much better!
Also, these wheels are super light weight!

Congratulations, the look is really good. I love your wheels.

 

Thank you!

 

Wrapped my hood today!

 

I wasn't to sure about everything until you put the wheels on. It really pulls it all together!

 

That it does!

 

The Itasha on the hood looks great! Where did you get it made? The Enkeis are perfect!

 

I got it printed and installed at Formula One in Newark, DE.

 

I added a THULE roof rack on my GK5 Fit.

I know haters gonna hate, but it didn't stop me from doing what I want. Put some LED underglow on. Just the front and two sides. There is nowhere to mount the rear tube.
