Hey guys, if any of you remember(doubt it but anyway) back in october, i got my shiny new 2010 Fit Sport. Since then, most of it has remained stock but i have done a few things to the exterior, nothing special, nothing big, but i like it and it was in my price range (relatively cheap to free)



Custom Red H emblem, prepped and painted by myself


DIY Front Lip special thanks to Sandblasted for the tutorial: Here is the link if anyone wants it https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...front-lip.html


Gotta represent my College, Cal-Baptist!






Stock tow-hook that comes with the car, prepped and painted again by myself, wear and tear as you can see, i need to repaint soon



Let me know what you guys think!

 

Loving the tag on the tow hook - your Fit is looking nice and all your own! The best kind of car to have.

 

looks freaking good! a couple things i'd do
1: drill a hole in the tow cover and reinstall it, then paint the tow hook thingy black, it'll look cleaner
2: get some longer bolts (home depo) and flip your ft plate mount upside down (like mine
looks really good though!

 

Thanks Guys! I may have to listen to your advice here. Next project!!!

P.S vtec, do you have any pics of your license plate frame, so i can kinda picture what your talking about a little easier.

 

What kind of pain did you use for the emblem?

 

For the emblem, i sanded it down so the paint had something to stick to. We used Rust Preventative Enamel Krylon: Products:
i think we put 2 or 3 coats on, and then put some clear coat on. It was pretty easy, but we did have problems, not with the paint, but with tree leaves falling on the wet paint. I've had it on for almost 3 months now with no problems what so ever

 

I'll show you something neat about the rear tow hook: I bought another tow hook bumper plug to drill through and another tow hook (Honda calls it an eyebolt) is being powdercoated red as we speak. Then, I'll put a small rubber grommet on the bumper plug and put the hook through the plug, creating a finished look. Also, be sure to put white lithium grease on the threads of the hook so the hook doesn't seize in the threads of the unibody.

I need my rear towhook to fasten my kayak to. There's a hole in the unibody on the driver's side but the muffler is in the way on the passenger side, so the towhook is the best fastening point.

 

Awesome front emblem, Kixy. How is the paint holding up? I painted mine black early 2010 and there are lots of chips on it now. Gonna have to remove it and re-paint.

 

Paints holding up great so far. No chips or anything, I'm kind of surprised. So far so good!

 

Dont hate me here, but I gotta say it. Lose the tow hook all together. Put the stock cover back on and leave it alone. Clean is better than anything.
My advice save up and lower it. You will love that the most. Im not saying slam it, just lower. Springs can be bought for under $200.

 

Nice lip.
