Just for fun

My photoshop skills are still kind of rough, but this is what I'm planning to do to my Fit when I get it:

SSM Base AT
25% Tint
Enkei FN-18s in gunmetal gray
Mugen underbody kit and USDM spoiler
HIDs and Fog Light kit with amber fogs
JDM Tails
RS and Mugen badges

I'm considering getting 18" wheels although I'm not sure it's possible without any rubbing. Has anyone tried 18s? If it's not possible, I might just get smaller wheels and drop it on some Tanabes.

What do you guys think? Good, bad, ricer?

I'm still new to car modding, so any suggestions would help.

now you just need to paint it cheddar yellow for the true cheese wedge look.

that actually makes the fit look a little longer but to each his own, its not my cup of tea.

I wouldn't go 18"s but others on here would say you should. 16"s with meaty tires FTW

Don't kill the Fit's eco performance with 18's. You'll also probably be running rubberband tires and the ride comfort will be lost as well. Keep it stock with 16's and 55 series! It's the tuner way!!!

Ok, I'll compromise and go with 17s.

What happens with eco performance on larger wheels? Do you lose mpg since they are heavier or are there other factors?

I'm going to go with 17's with 205-40's.

I have a Base SSM AT! Nice choice! I have the front and rear red H badges and the RS badge. Also have the hood deflector and window visors. I was thinking of side skirts but I want the mud guards next so that's a no no.

I'll probably do the same tire size as well.

Yeah I like the base SSM, too. I don't think I'm missing out on too much from the Sport. I'll probably miss cruise control and I'd rather have the black seats, but I can settle for a lower price and aftermarket parts/JDM swaps.

Yeah the black headlight housing definitely looks a lot better than all that chrome, at least on SSM. Have you got some HIDs in yours? And which?

go with 13s...

Huge tires on a Fit are not beneficial for anything
