hello there , just got me a new fit 08 sport blaze orange color like this http://autoimages.gabriels.net/stati..._2007/9288.jpg
i have like about $$ 2000 that i would like to invest on it , i just wanna make it look nice and sexxy >.> , can i get any good recomandations on body kits,rims,trims at hand i can blow $$2000 on it then if i see its worth it i can always drop more and more over time ^ may not be much but i guess its a start i would really appreciate some help... if u can link the site or show pics of the items u find thanks.

 

If i had to 2k for my Fit, i would save a extra 1500$ for the KW Supercharger.

Or another 3-4 and do a k-swap and dont **** with the 1.5L

 

Throw the $500 down on the KW supercharger now, and if you can save up the rest from the time you place the deposit till the time it is shipped you got yourself a sweet little ride. If not I would definitely get the nicest and lightest rims and tires you can get OR the best suspension you can get. Either of these items are something that quite a bit of money should be spent on, because they will effect the way your car looks and performs dramatically either in racing or just daily driving. My recommendations would be either Volk racing wheels (aluminum forged monoblock wheel) and any high dollar coil over supension or Mugen 5 way adjustable suspension (best shocks money can buy).

 

Doesn't the Mugen suspension require modification to the USDM fit to work?

 

im gonna say invest $150 on springs, and the rest, put it into teh car payment.

 

Word, $1850 less than you owe now!

 

yep. i'd rather wait a little, and mod MY car. not HONDA/the bank's car lol

 

sounds like he just wants looks not speed .....


"i just wanna make it look nice and sexxy"

 

yeah for now looks just for now , not plannin on showin off like oh look at me the fast fit ^^ just wanted to look nice and different all of a sudden there is like 10 fits at work after i got mine lol... my friend got a versa he was gonna geta fit but he saw too many of em and 2 weeks after i got mine some prick parked his orange fit next to mine too.. i loled really hard not that i have a huge problem with it , i just want it to stand out u know.. and in the future i would like to hook it up boost its performence yes no doubt but as of now not yet .. besides i am kind of a car n00b haha like u guys talkin about kw supercharger i know its to improve performence and all but idk about it really and thanks for all the replys guys/girls i really appreciate it.

 

lower it, wheels, tint, and exhaust. that'll really set it off. good luck, and congrats on the fit!!!

 

to maybe some1 that bought or knows anybody that gotten the best recommended gold or any other color really... Volk racing wheels (aluminum forged monoblock wheel) 16 's for my fit ?? or the Mugen 5 way adjustable suspension i've done some research and i run into diff prices off diff places and i dont wanna just go ahead with it in case i could of gotten a better deal u know either one of those i would like to start hookin my fit up for now thanks any help is greatly appreciated if u got some links or information post up plz ^^

 

imo why get real rims? you're paying 2-3 times teh price as the knockoff rota/konig/maxxim/drag rim.

 

probably cuz he can afford it, and maybe he wants to baby his brand spankin new ride? i know i would if i could, but i can't so it don't matter.

 

meh...because they look better. for me personally....its more respect. when i see a car...the first thing i look at are the rims.

you can tell if they are fake. knock offs personally do not look the same...and they dont look as good.

 

The knock of wheels are not bad, but when it comes to the Fit, in my personal opinion every little bit helps, when you are talking about anywhere above a pound of weight difference on each wheel, you are looking at an actual realized performance benefit of dropping about 20lbs off the car. Lighter wheels will improve handling, braking, and acceleration, and engine response. Another benefit you might see is an improvement in the fuel economy. If you were to run a cheaper heavier wheel, you would in turn get a negative response in all those areas.

On another note I noticed you weren't looking at going for performance as much as looks. In this case you should probably get a coil over suspension rather than the Mugen 5 way. The nice thing is that a coil over can be installed now and the height and dampening adjusted later to adjust for changes in the wheel. In my opinion you should always replace the wheels before the springs, as the wheels make the car, and the wheels available for you to choose might be affected by the springs you installed. With coil overs you will not have that issue as ride height is adjustable and can be later matched to your wheels. Just my $0.02.

 

Striping, wheels, tires, lowering, and seat covers will just about cover your wanting to have a nicer & customized look. And in that order.

 

If all you're going for is looks, I'd get:

$795 - HondaFitTuner.com Mugen style wide body kit.


$145 - Skunk2 lowering springs

and that leaves you with over $1000 to pick out wheels and tires.
