i would LOVE a sturdy, functional, inexpensive, replica of the J's Racing GT wing. I cant justify 1,000 for the legit one. well not yet. lol

heres a pic


I would also LOVE a front splitter that is molded to the GD front lip so there is no extra space created.

example:


I would also LOVE some front fender flares. doesnt have to be carbon, just fiberglass would be fine. with the intend to paint. that way when I run big meats, I can just cut my fenders off and put some non-universal attachments on them or if you just modified the oem fender to be wider in the front. would be DOPE!
but something smooth and flowing. like below
front only!


or an attachable one, still looks great and smooth


NOTHING BOXY like this..


but like i said, if its Fit GD specific, would be awesome!

or just piss Felix off and replicate his entire fender.. lol useing an oem model haha

and i know you said keep it to aero, but if you are looking to pretty much guaranteed make some killa money, make a rear METAL shim kit for camber and toe adjustments. Most fabricators have usually ran into a metal fabricator sometime in their business life style. make a friend, make a ton of kits, congratulations, you now own a monopoly and rake in the bank.

For aero parts, I look at the way the part fits. I will only buy something that will fit like or close to OEM. The quality of the contruction of the product also plays an important factor as well. The products needs to last and not break too easily.

My request: functional track stuff, as mentioned by others. Between the Sport, Mugen and JDP products, I think the car has a lot of that covered for the looks department, done in a tasteful manner. A big ugly kit is not what this car needs. I do like the smooth VIP stuff, but execution needs to be top notch, and that's rare for a small company.

JCrimson, great job on the breakdown and thank you for providing pics!

I also understand that flexibility and durability of the bumper are very important. All of our parts are made with Duraflex, Carbon, or Polyurethane.

Backyard special style spoiler that mounts to stock points and still allows the hatch to fully open?






Maybe halfway between that and a ducktail?
Speaking for the GE.

this...... :/ I messaged the people over at realcamber.com and they said they were working on a shim for the Fit but may abandon it because it's too pricy

you're welcome. And I've read a lot on Duraflex, pretty impressive. My friend has a ridiculously sturdy carbon fiber hood from your guys. Great stuff.

GD has no options without going with a jdm type s rear bumper and a noblesse diffuser




doesnt need to be cf, just something that will work with the USDM rear bumper.

I dont mind getting that put into production. The two questions I have though are, Is there enough demand? Does anyone currently own this diffuser?

Then we are going to have to make a custom piece. The mold process in that can drive up the prices per piece, it will be hard to justify a $500-$600 rear diffuser.

We will try for sure. But we would need more demand.

GD3 in real carbon radiator breastplate, which would be challenging becuz the upper bumper clips are there already. I wrap'd mine but I'd love to see something worked out up there....

Keep in mind all of our items are hand made overseas, not machined. Which means it will be more difficult to get items such as the breastplate to sit flush and fit at all ends perfectly.
