I was planing on getting both. Looking forward to see how they look together. The only thing im a bit concerned about is how low the lip is going to hang. Im worried it will cover my exhaust so I will then have to mod the exhaust to hang lower.

Diffuser only, since the rear lip seems to bolt onto our current lips. I think you might have more success with the rear lip if it bolted directly on when the old OEM lip is removed, instead of onto the OEM lip.

Both, let's be honest, the Fit isn't known for it's high speeds so i'm into this part for the looks more than the functionality. Kinda a bling factor if you know what i'm saying. I hate admitting stuff like that but i'm just being real. No lip and I'm probably not gonna want it.

Understandable, given that rear diffusers are usually seen on race cars. But the truth is that normal highway speeds are more than adequate to see real benefits from improved aerodynamics. My Beatrush front undertray is proof of that; considerably better stability in sidewinds, better grip on freeway offramps, and improved fuel economy.

X2 I really want it for the bling factor, lol. If it adds benefits to the car as well then thats fantastic.

If something only looks good and doesn't perform like it is meant to, I don't need it..... I have always had the same attitude about women..... You know, the kind that are on their monthly cycle, have hemorrhoids and a sore throat all at the same time and are a knock down dead on the money sex goddess until the topic of sex arises.

I am thinking that I would take both too. It looks like the rear piece will work with the HFP exhaust. Do you have a pic of it on the car? I saw the pic of it on the bumper but do you have a pic of it on the car.

I want to be added to the list, I just need to get the funds together first.

Very much appreciate all the feedback from everyone.

I'm glad the rear lip isn't a waste. I'll be moving forward with this full project.

Can't wait for the diffuser pics! I kinda' hope it's a bit aggressive looking to go w/my wing! Haha! But if I like it, I'm more than happy to drop the $200 right off the bat!

Exclamation Rear Diffuser only...

I agree with WDB, I love my Beatrush front undertray and it does help. I am only interested in the rear diffuser only with the fins.

No need for bling on my part but I am still interested in the rear diffuser.

What ever happened to your "belly pans" that you were considering making for the Fit to complete the whole underpanel assembly?

Waiting anxiously for pics....

Patience is a virtue guys..... I have looked at the parts that have already been made by JDP and feel confident that when he has worked out all of the details the diffuser will be a work of art just like the other products he is selling..... I will be very impressed if it functions as well as I know it's going to work.... It is the belly pan in combination with the diffuser that will make a major difference in fuel mileage and acceleration at high speed.
