Who's bashing? If I were to post a picture of my modded car on here would I expect everyone to love what I did to MY car? Obviously I'd like to hear NICE comments, who doesn't? But the fact of the matter is, not everyone will love it, and that's just fine if I like what I've done to MY car.

Doesn't matter who follows what trend, YOU justify what you do to YOUR car, isn't that all the matters?

I think there are reasons the trends in Japan aren't carrying over here IMO, and thats cause it looks tacky. To each his own, it is your car do what you want with it, as long as you are happy thats all that matters.

Most people here have very little knowledge of the trends and styles that are coming from Japan.

The VIP scene is HUGE with the K-Cars of Japan (fit, bB, ist, Step Wagon, Wagon R, etc).

Do not go bashing people about the styling they choose on THEIR CAR. They are following trends that aren't done here which makes everything about there car unique and great. stop hating and start studying and learning about things outside your own little "fast and furious worlds"

I personally love Gene's and BDR's car. Both have mods that flow very nicely together and pull the scheme of everything into a whole.
Basically kinda what I said allready I think people just hating its possible they just dont like it, to each is own but never hate especially when you know you want to do the same things. Yo trav any of them Hyper rev mags you have come in english???? If so tell me where you got them from

How much did you have to modify the spoiler to get it to fit properly?
I like the rims!

Thats SEXY. Any specs on the wheels like size and offset, and did you just add side skirt and a spoiler to a other wise stock fit sport, there is a subtle, difference in this as compared to a stock fit but I cant quite put my hands on it yet. Looks better and looks the same with the new wheels. I like it. Gene you should do a part by part build thread on here to show us the work that went into it, and mabey it would help some of the GE owners figure out how the car comes apart, so they could get there own Ideas on were to run speaker wires, what the seat brackets look like dissasembled from the seats, how the panels come of etc...etc...

We had to shave down some of the underside of the mounting points, other than that we were good.

The wheels are 18x9 all around, don't remember the offsets off the top of my head, I'd have to look it up. About the build-up, I didn't take pictures of any of it so that won't be possible.

Looks much better now! Man, the Fit should have the option for a sunroof. That'd be pretty cool.

WOW, now I'm even more in love with it. Those buckets look awesome there!

BTW, why do you guys don't change the radio surround for a OEM navi one? I think it will finish the interior a lot better.

We actually tossed the OEM head unit and put that piece in there, it's got navigation, iPod hookup, rear view camera and like 49 other functions built in.
