My GD3 Fit
 

After being a member for a few weeks, I felt it was only right for you guys to see my ride. She is a stock Fit base model. Original driver, bought in 2007 and I have put on 142,xxxkm since day 1.

Here is a pic from my oil change a few days ago. This was a disaster. If you care to read I made a thread in General Fit Talk about what happened. "Oil change gone wrong"

I have JDM badges coming in the mail that will be going on soon. I intend to get door visors, rear LED, even 3rd brake light LED as well. Adding a JDM coin holder and black leather shift boot to replace my peeling rubber one. Other than that I have not thought of any other realistic and cheap mods to do.

Nice, thoughts of lowering it and putting some rims on it ever?

Yes to both your questions. I do intend to put rims. Not sure when, maybe for next spring. Money is tight and have not found rims I like.

Same money situation to lower. I would like an inch drop on coilovers as well. But these mods I think I can live without for a bit. I would rather have a rear duckbill wing and some tint on the car. And don't get me starts on the rear disc conversion that needs to get done. And that needs to be done before rims. Need to see calipers on the rear through the rim haha. Drums are dust.

Today I was feeling great. Sun was shinning decided to head to the shop and do a JDM rear Wiper conversion. Yup, I did it haha. Only took like 30 minutes with the tea breaks I had to do lol. Its been a while since I showed some pics of my ride, so I also decided to do a lakeshore cruise and snipe some photos of my GD3. That's how good of a mood I was in. Hope you guys enjoy the scenery. And yeah I know, I could have cleaned the car before hand, but meh.:iough:

Photo outside "the shop" immediately following the JDM conversion. It's my buddy's shop, not mine.

After leaving the shop, hit up the good old Lakeshore Blvd and got these photos:

Some pics after I did a solid wash and wax job on my Fit.

GSR Blades need to be polished. I bought em for $180 with that crappy paint job.

Tow hook doesn't exist anymore. It was hit and broke off lol. $15 from eBay. Not concerned. Saved my bumper.

I also had purchased OEM keyless entry from Honda in Canada. Not discontinued for all you who want it. Here is a pic of the part number and box. Came with everything. Well worth it since my keyhole was having huge issues.

Mod List:

OEM keyless entry
OEM leather red stitched shift knob and boot from GE fit.
JDM wiper mod.
GSR blades.
Fog lights replica OEM.
Red badges front and rear.

Get yourself a nice sport lip kit and you'll be looking great! Or a duckbill spoiler cause those look awesome.

Those GSRs would look so much better with a different shade on 'em imo!

I just noticed that you have a different shift boot than I do. I thought it was because you had a sport model, but you're missing the ground effects. Must be a Canadian thing. Looks good! Reminds me of my car when I bought it 8 years ago.

Haven't found a lip I like. Really looking at a J's Racing lip. Spoiler I think im going with a vshape one from Aj-racing. Duckbill I was going to go with originally. But now I really think the v shape looks better.

I see you have the OEM fog lights now. Did your original bumper get destroyed?

Original bumber is on there. I cut it for the fogs with a hack saw then sanded with a dremel. Wiring needs to be re done. All show. Do not work yet.

Shift boot was once rubber. I bought the 2009 type r knob and boot for Fit. I used a dremel and made modification to the knob. I also painted the bezel of it as well matte black. Take a look at this picture. I removed the inner ring as well. That is what the dremel was for. My rubber shift boot started to rip apart after 130,000km. Bought the leather knob and boot from rakuten and had it shipped from Japan.

Newest addition is my 17% all around tint charcoal film. Had it done in Richmond Hill. Love the tint. Now I gotta wait till Friday to roll the windows down.

The black bezel piece looks really good, I just painted mine black last week too, looks much nicer than the silver. I just noticed the other day my rubber boot started to tear on the front side :mad: so I guess I'll be looking for a suede boot now lol

Looking really clean and simple

I may be wiring up my aftermarket fogs this weekend. I have had them installed since April. But they do not work. I think I have figured out the wires. Going to hook up the switch and then I am going to wire the switch into my head lights. So when my headlights are on I flick my switch and my fogs come on. Fogs have their own relay as well. Maybe I'll finally have fog lights on my fit.

V spoiler to come soon and possible DC coil overs before winter.

Great Mod on the the Shiftboot and shift knob! looks very nice! :thumbups:

Do you have a link for where you bought the shift boot?

I like the painted shift bezel. Looks so much cleaner matte black.
