My 2nd gen new Fit GE8 in South China

Honda Fits are real popular in China, it's a left hand drive country here unlike Hong Kong. The GE's came out in September, got mine back then. I believe the first set of Tein's for the GE in China are on my car , special ordered from Japan. Had a destroyed rim on this long roadtrip I took, so that explains the mismatched rims. Also, yes that's carbon fiber sticker, will get real cf when them hood prices go down. Replica kit and wing, custom muffler. Let me know what you guys think. Would have gotten 18's but the roads here are pretty messed up. If I was still back in LA...then 18's for sure guys!!!

Yea I hear ya. I was trying to go for a VIP tuning look, and that kit was one of the more unique ones that was available a couple months back. I will probably end up switching to a different style kit later on.

your car seems to be littered with replica parts, and i fear for its life when you mention you want to put 18's on it. putting 18's on your fit will slow the car down and decrease her ability to stop! also, with a car as cool and unique as the fit, over the top body kits are not needed. i would save and purchase tasteful industry proven upgrades (the tien susp. works). more often than not (99 out of 100), "less is more" when it comes to modding a car and making it look special.

Well the Fit for me is more of a showcase car, I come from a turbo rotary background, FC3S race prepped. Yea, brake upgrades are definitely due for some extra stopping power.

i agree with everyone else... those cheekbones are a little much, doesn't look VIP either. the CF sticker on your hood looks like a CF sticker on a stock hood ... but what i think and anyone else thinks on this forum shouldn't matter, if you're happy then your modifications have served 99% their purpose.

i do like the spoiler though

I'm not one for replica parts or anything like that, but other than the front bumper, I think the car looks pretty good! And it's not that the front bumper is bad, it just doesn't flow well to me because it is lower on the sides and comes up some in the middle, but overall nicely done. Keep us updated.

p.s. I was looking at the front bumper some more, are those just some add on pieces? If so I'd take em off and just get a front lip. That would clean up the car alot IMO. Just keep doing what you like though bro!

The CF sticker was basically cuz I wanted the Fit to match my Swift which actually does have a real CF hood. Both cars are silver so they are kind of like brother cars...got some of that CF sticker all up on the aftermarket OEM grill too. It is cheesy, but it did come out clean, it was my own idea and I ain't seen no one else do the hood/grill CF sticker combo. I just couldn't justify importing a real 2nd gen Fit CF hood from Japan since it is really really expensive right now, I would just wait until they are making them in China. The body kit rather than have to custom order from Japan, I just got a replica thats already being made. Quality isn't anything great, but kits are cheap here and so is paint/install at the Honda dealership. Later down the line I can just switch to a different kit when theres more selection available.
