pretty much run with no front bumper

just a deflector plate covering the radiator and some of the internals like suspension and other goodies that need protection

weld that to front bar mounts and then throw some spot lamps on them

Sometimes. And then I look at a 350z and I see it's just as bland so I kinda perk up a little.

LOL

like i looked around, i dont want a lip kit for the base... not one quite good enough

and the homedepoooooot lip is too home depot for me, for now

i rather like the pre runner look, and the fact that it can also support spot lamps makes me happy cause i drive alot in the dark.....

and i dont have to worry about my front end always scratch on drive ways at all anymore with that

Can you not mount em to the stock bumper? An old friend of mine from Louisiana Tech had two massive spot lights on his STi. He loved that car. White and always covered in mud. He'd always park next to detailed lifted trucks and leave notes like "4wd... Awesome when it's actually used" lol. But ive thought of trying something similar. I just don't want to go quite as far as you with the removal of the bumper.

yeah i mean its possible to spot lamps with bumper on...

im just bored with my bumper and it might look kinda awkward with lamps on a fit when it looks almost stock

your idea could be interesting...you could also add aftermarket suspension/spot lights etc...
also you could make it go higher and give it that OFF-ROAD/MONSTER Fit look...at least your fit will be unique - you will be unique

I know right?! The Baja idea I'm not to big a fan of. I do think that there is a unique side to this and it could turn out well. Some will laugh some will approve. In the end, all that matters is what you think.

If you can do a Scion tC, you can do a Fit.

thank you for this movtivation

i was looking for something liek this tc... but not that much

i plan to keep my tein s suspension and maybe up my wheel size from 15 to 16 cause my wheels right now are 195 50 15... so short...

other than that... that front rail and spot lights are spot on

front rail/spot light with lowered suspension doesn't match you need to
make that fit go as high as possible...your car will be a stand-out!!!
