The New Egg

My Girl just bought the 09 fit, i like it.

seems like there's a lot of good info here.

i'm on some other boards for my car, mostly just stopping by to see what wheel specs work, and any updates that will be coming out in the future.

kinda wish it didnt have a huge nose, but overall its great.

Very nice. The red is very rich and swoopy in a good way.

Never thought about the "egg" thing but yeah, that's true.

Even more eggy in white.

after tax 19k.

i dunno, she wants rims, she like these. but i want to try and convince her to get something different, and lower it... but she doesnt want to go lower

we'll see.... something with a decent lip.. maybe try and give it a little vip stance, but who knows...


lol first thing that popped into my head was how it looked like an egg on its side.. but its not ugly at all

I find JDM fits have much smaller noses, why the US does these things, IDK!!! I still love the look of the new fit though. Nice accord BTW..

extended studs have nothing to do with offset. The problem with the new Fit is the track has been pushed out more than the last Gen, so it makes running any wheel lower than +40 virtually impossible without major modification to the fender wells.

But there are still lots of options in wheels running 7" with a 4x offset, and you should be able to run a 205/45 tire on this setup(this includes lowering the car to get more negative camber)and easily fit them in the wheel wells.

gotcha well, shes gunna start small, just some little things she wants to give it, some tint, probably just 35% b/c of the black interior it will look darker without having problems with the police.

and some 6000k hids for the headlights and some 3000k for the fogs
