I would have just did a muffler with a single tip. Maybe an oval tip?
The wheels really arent that bad. All VIP wheels look the same.

Instead of rear 1/4 mods I would have just did some negative camber.

That's cheating

Still need to break the sub in, so I haven't really pushed it, but the doors are done with it as well and the speakers sound really clean

Loving the sweet tale of a little car that could, thinking as I am reading it all, nice wheels...gone with a Coach theme in on the manifold paint to match the interior rear area. Nice touches, then it all went BOOM! A weird bubble thing where the spare tire was, foil covering the interior, seat covers, a mad sound system and and no he didn't....cutting, bending and wedging massive tires under it all.

Crazy really. Well in a good way and I wish I had the option of doing likewise.

Thanks for adding a little bit of Yokohama to my evening, I miss those wacked Japanese doing the most to their ride.

Keep more pics coming.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Should I keep going? Remember this is my daily

VIP kit maybe? I dunno. There's a super clean 05 Lotus Elise calling my name for $34K, that might be money better spent

Well done

Wow you really pulled off the 18 inch wheels very well on your GD... The best I have seen so far.... and I`m sure that the 205/35/18`s helped a little too

BTW how much did you get each tire for.?? if you don`t mind

I'm using this car in my SEMA booth, so the interior was provided free of charge. I used Roadwire in our main show truck I built as well. Plus, I sent Roadwire a ton of parts for their SEMA vehicles.

One set of tires was provided by Toyo on a SEMA sponsorship, and I bought a second set for something like $170 a tire

If she wanted to switch again, I'd give her back the Fit and drive the CR-V I bought her. Air Runner makes a kit for that too.

Nah, I think I'm pretty much done. This is my daily driver. Still might get the Ken Style Kit, and do an FX35 HID retrofit, but that's really about it.
