Just want to introduce myself. My name is Shane and I recently picked up a 08 BOM fit sport. I came from a 07 Si Sedan that I recently totaled by falling asleep at the wheel on the way to work a 5:30 am...

Anyways here is where I am calling out for help. This week I will be ordering my wheels and tires and springs but I only have 1 hand to work with due to a broken coller bone and wrist. Taking my car to a shop to install springs will run me a arm and a leg so if anyone knows someone who will do it cheap (shop wise) or if anyone wants to do it themselves i wouldn't mind paying them just dont want to pay the $50 a corner I have been quoted to install springs..

Anyways here are a few pics of my old car and of the new..

 

WIndows have been tinted, springs/wheels in a week or so! So far Im loving it.

 

someone help this man!

BTW welcome to FitFreak!

 

Thanks for the welcome chris. Man I miss my SI but the fit has its plusses. 1st tank of gas I got 34mpg and it is fun to drive in the corners.

 

check the FI forum and kraftwerks thread... that will make the car WAY more fun than the Si

 

Glad you're ok...that wreck looks like it was nasty.

Sorry I'm not closer or I'd be glad to help. Welcome to the forum!

 

thanks for the reply, yeah it was bad but luckily the SI was a really safe car. Hell I got out of the car and walked away after getting in a accident at 65. That shows that honda is on top of their safety game.

 

Where are you located Shane?

 

Shane that was a sweet SI - OMG - sorry you totaled it but glad you came out OK. The BOM is the BOMB!!!!!!!!! I love that color! Can't help with your questions but we have a lot of Texas Fit Freaks that should be able to. Welcome to the forum and look forward to seeing what you have planned out for your Fit.

Cat :x

 

wondering if you sold your wheels yet? are those works xd9s btw?

 

if you need springs i have some for sale and also SSM headlights that look good on the BOM fit. welcome to fitfreak! !


what part of texas you in

 

It looks like you ran into an elephant o.O

Did you happen to be over at 8thcivic.com?

 

Im located just outside of austin. Im going to try and make the meet on the 26th if I get my car setup the way I want.

Yes they were work emotion Xd-9 18x8 45mm offset.

I miss the SI sooo much. The fit with some suspension work and wheels will tide me over.

Going to not go crazy on wheels on the fit. Most likely rpf1's or Heliums something cheap this time around.

Edit: Yes I was on 8th gen also.

 

do you still have them??? if so how much
