hey illusive, thanks for the hook-up with Battleendless and the c-piller..just put'er in tonight..looks sweet!! i see you have been very busy today sending out hood deflectors to the Fit Nation! i don't know where you get the energy, but speaking for myself..thanks a bunch!!

 

No worries man, anytime! YeeFit and I installed ours on Saturday and he even gave me a hand taking off my front bumper to remove my front lip. Next up: rear bumper

My Fit gives me all of my energy hehe

 

I don't think anybody makes a profile less than 40 for a 205 wide 17" rim. As far as the 195/40 goes there are a few Euro spec tires I could pick up for a premium price. I looked into some Continental Sport Contact's before, but that is kind of a last resort. Right now it is roll the fenders, then failing that I have a friend who can help me remold some new inner panels to provide more clearance above the tire.

My biggest concern right now is trying not to accidently tear the front lip off my car now that it is lower down. I think I am going to have to pull some strings and get a skid plate made up from 1/4" checkered plate or something. When I get some time I want to put my car up on ramps and take that plastic belly sheeting out and see where I can mount one up. Maybe do a design up on CAD too.

lol, yeah Illusive is on fire lately That was super nice of you to help out all those folks accross the border dude. There is some Major effort and time to be recognized for doing that! I think they should give you some kind of FitFreak award!

 

You don't need a skid plate! Just make sure you angle the crap out of it when you are going over speed bumps and coming off of driveways My front lip is scraped up undereneath on both corners from my driveway haha!

 

lol, yeah I know... don't really need one I am just looking for an interesting challange! It makes me sad everytime when I see the underside of my front air dam.

 

lol don't waste your time on that! You need more MODS!!!

 

I had a chance to snap a couple of pictures of the drop last night after I got home. Sorry about the lighting, they are pretty dark & crappy pictures.

 

looks good!

 

The drop looks perfect!

glad to hear everyone is enjoying the c-pillar bar as well. Its a great addition to the suspension.

 

looking good sugarphreak...
:Cool:

cant wait to see illusive ride when its all done

myself, got rid of the gangstah lean and completed my drop LOL

 

haha, but the gangsta lean was so cool!

Hey that looks sharp with the drop man, I like it!

 

too many modded fits
time to get rid of mine, can't keep up haha

 

So you are going S2k? It's been decided? If so DIBS ON THE HOOOOOOOD!

BTW can you give me an outline on how to remove the rear bumper? Think I'm gonna do it tonight now that the rear lip came in I know there are the two screws in the rear wheel well, two clips underneath, and two hex screws under the hatch...then pull on either side to take off the clips. But I heard that after I do all of this, there are these hooks or something in the middle of the bumper holding it onto the frame...any insight?

 

im buying a yaris!!!!!

hahahahaha no i still got parts coming for the fit
not giving in yet justin
lol

if you're doing the bumper tonight give me a call and i'll come by to check it out

 

Sounds good...I should be home aroun 5:30-6 so Ill give you a shout around that time.

 

yo! yo! im available too, day off today... I'll probably just watch you guys though haha

 

LOL! Sounds good...I was wondering how the hell you were posting

PM me your number sirhc, I'll call you when I get home

 

drove by your house but didnt see anybody... so whats the update? how'd it go? man, your Fit is goin to be so pimpd cant wait to see it up close

 

What time did you drive by? I had my bumper off by 7, then went to go pick up a package...turned out to be my sideskirts!!!

Now for the bad news, anyone who can help, I'd appreciate it. The rear lip I test fitted it with my dad. Turns out it is about one inch to an inch and a half too long. Anyone know how they fix this problem with Urethane? I know Fiberglass they just cut it in half, take out a chunk from the center, then glass it back together. Not sure how they will go about it with Urethane. Problem with this technique is that the bottom is arched and an uneven change in the center would make it look wonky...but then at the same time, I'd have to consider the placement of the rounded off arch where my muffler goes. Take out too much of one side, then it will be in an awkward place and won't fit. Second, I got my skirts off, super easy...but I'm not sure how my skirts go on. There are these hook looking pieces at the inside that my dad and I think go behind that metal piece where the jack is supposed to go when jacking up the car. It looks like it should fit up right behind it, then screw into place. Unfortunately, none of these parts use stock mounting points nor any of the multiple holes in the bumper to hold the stock one in place. Anyone wanna recommend body shops? I don't know if my buddy's dad can do this much work, it sounds like a lot. But I don't wanna get destroyed by the price! I know National does a lot of aftermarket work, and I was going to go to Screamin' Paintworks, but I have a feeling I will get reamed HC because of the stuff that needs to be done. I'm hoping the bodyshop can install them for me properly as well.

 

so.................... fit meet for SCC on saturday anyone?
i'm heading down there fo sho
