Well dayum! Been with my wife for 26yrs and she never ordered me cool car stuff. Guess it's time to trade her in.

She's officially totally off her rocker... I just got a text notification from the Honda dealership that I have an appointment the day after my birthday.

So of course I called to see what it was all about... she ordered me the HFP sideskirts and they're being installed @ the dealer!!!

I bought her an iPhone X for Xmas so I think she is trying to get even. We’re also pregnant with our first kid so it’s probably her way of saying no more spending money on the car, haha.

Ill just have to tell her the springs will make it handle better so it will be safer for the baby.

Today is the day. Dropped the Fit off at 6am at the dealership. Next time I see her she'll have HFP side skirts. I'll post pics tonight!

As promised here are pics. I’m extremely happy. Super tasteful and the black goes perfect with my wrap and wheels.

These are the HFP option skirts. $449 installed at my dealership. You can get them for $252 plus shipping online from college hills Honda but I wanted the warranty and pro install. The instructions looked a little daunting.

Looks like this outfit will make one custom for you, then I would get creative with the mounting: Front Wind Splitters | APR Performance

They market more towards actual racers though, i'd be scared to check the price for something likely to get nicked up on the road.

I'm going to have to look into the differences between 17 and 18 bumper.

the APR one is damn nice. I'm not 100% sure if this guy did a custom order .... OR .... if he was able to find out if they actually stock them, for GK5's

the shape of the aeroflowdynamics one appears to be more rounded with less pronounced/hard edges .... it may flow well/look nice with 2018+ bumpers
