I think clearance is going to be an issue for any lip we put on, especially those of use that plan on lowering our cars. Trust me I have been trying to once-over the geometry of my daily course into and out of my garage just to get a feel for what I might scrape of damage once the car is finished or near finished. With that said I like the little pieces in the middle of the spoon lip.
While I do agree with clearance being an issue in our case, both lip will geometrically have the same clearance issues based on their front lower most line. As with anything it will be a case by case issue. Whether it is the edges or the middle all of us will have to find ways of minimizing or avoiding the inherent scrapes and scuffs. At the same time I must acknowledge that if I wanted it to stay perfect I would put it on and leave it parked.

I don't like the Spoon lip so much because it looks bulky. The proposed design is nice because it's slim.

Okay...so I basing on my lips I've designed and make for the Integra...it'll be in the range of $200-$230...

Hey guys...i just test drove a bunch of cars at American Honda..one being the fit sport and starting to get more ideas since the Mugen Fit was there too.

Since I'll have the car for the weekend, any other things you guys would want? There's a Mugen rear view mirror cap I want to make in carbon that i think would look awesome....

Hmmmmm.....my vote is for $200 shipped
You can put me down right now, I will pay ASAP.


As far as other things to make, a spoiler wouldn't be too much to ask would it? And it doesn't have to be CF, if it was available in both I think you would see alot of sales. Sometimes too much CF kills the look of the car...

But yeah, a spoiler

i like the idea of the spoiler too! but what about a carbon fiber underspoiler to replace the underspoiler that's on the fit now? ( not a real underspoiler but you know what i mean )

Uhhh....if you're talking about the front then you obviously didn't read the first post lawlz. He is currently working on a front lower diffuser.

If you're talking about the rear, then hell yeah I'm down

yup i second that also LOL

something im also interested in is the MODULO front lower skirt. if you can make a replica of that it would make the front end of the fit look so agressive! check out japanparts.com i want that on my car so bad. it looks too sexy

I will make final decision on price after I make one...but just to clarify, $200-$230 is an estimate for only the lip. Shipping is usually $50-$60 depending on the size of the lip/box.

I wish I could do better but this stuff isn't made in China.

this one yes, the other one sucks. But this one is not that pricey from japanparts.com and it would come prepainted from there.

Rear spoiler, front lip, grille, maybe interior pieces like upper glove box hatch and meter visor.
