Arrow Body mods for JDM/EDM Honda Fit

Hi,

while having a look at a load of websites, I saw a lot of body kits but most of them don't fit on a JDM/EDM Honda Fit /Jazz. I own a post facelift car from 2005 that looks exactly the same as the basis for this car (see pics). I do only have foglights and the colour is Helios Yellow.

Do you have any tips for body styling? I think the USDM car has a different feel and therefore I can't use a lot of stuff. The car on the pictures looks ace but I don't know what parts are used. I think there's a Spoon spoiler, a CF hood but what kind of lip is that on the front? What is more, what size of rims is that? Unfortunately I could not contact the owner (Booyaa! on honda-tech.com) so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks man, nice link. I think the front lip looks similar to a Modulo part but the one in the picture is a bit bigger and made of cf. Any other idea which part this could be?

i have been looking into the same front splitter, many ppl i have contacted have said its just painted black, if it is carbon then it must be a one off...

Awesome! Thank you for the info and the photo. I am currently searching for the right tyre/rim size to fit the body style, so I guess it's 205/40/17? I think I'll get TEIN s.tech springs but I'm quite unsure of the height drop.

In this picture, the car has 17"s and is lowered with H&R springs (similar to TEIN). On the forums, the car looks low as hell with TEIN springs but in that picture the car is on stilts. Any idea? I think this is really important because all these mods do not look good if the car is not low enough, imo.

I might remember the TEIN springs have a drop by prolly 1.5 inch. Nevertheless, I will get'em in connection with GramLights 57S in 205/40/17. Hopefully there's no rubbing and later on I might buy a Spoon spoiler for a good JDM look.
