Had a 2004 Fit when I was stationed in Japan form '08 to '11


Well after the wife flooded out her Saturn back in September, we picked up a '15 EX 18.5k on it, with the intention of it being hers.



Well December time frame the heater core went out in my '99 Cherokee daily driver :/ So I convinced her that she wanted a more comfortable sedan and we got her a '14 Nissan Sentra with 12k, which made the Fit my new daily driver. Well stock is not my thing, so now the adventure stats. Picked the legit Mugens up for a steal, 16x6.5.







While waiting for those to get here I detailed the car inside and out, shaved the rear carpet to make it look better.

Half done






Then we got snow, so the wheels didn't go on yet


Snow went away, got them on finally.












Color matched some of the interior pieces




Applied a few of "JDM" decals I got from a Japanese friend








I have more plans, just need to save $$$ and decide what direction I want to go. Need to take care of that wheel gap I want to keep the MPG up on this on as she is my daily now. Since December my average MPG is 40.8, it was 40.9 before I put the Mugen wheels, .1 mpg is acceptable
Thanks for looking

 

yah, some swifts would take care of dat nicely probably.

cute kid, btw.

 

Welcome back! Cute pic of your kid in front of the Fit. I thought "Thug Life" when I saw it! haha

Good idea with painting the trim pieces. They have a reflection on my tinted windows that are annoying and I always told myself they needed to be darkened. Are they difficult to pop off?

 

Thanks, trying to beg the wife to send me back Tein coilovers back from Japan when she goes this summer(yeah right )

They come off fairly easy, I just went super slow being overly paranoid. Thanks, he loved that car.

 

Almost forgot, installed some of the ebay upper LED tailghts when it was the wife's(for visibility) I plan of changing these out for the full LED upper and lowers.

 

Got any pics of what the interior looks like with the painted trim pieces?

 

Yes, they are in my thread I started today "Axlline's Fit"
