lol to be honest... cuz when i open the hatch and see a big aluminum gas tank in there i think it will look pretty sweet.

not to mention the extra fuel capacity will be nice!!!!

i say you cut a hole behind your rear license plate. put the plate on hinges with a magnet so it doesnt flap. put your fill spout right there.

having the spout there makes for quicker gas fillups in pit stops. having the cell is to be able to hold more fuel, weight distribution and having a big polished aluminum cube in your trunk is just damn cool.

it is to help redistribute the fits awful 68/32 weight balance. the spoon fit also weighs a mere 1800lbs so it is really in a league of its own.

I would move the battery to the passenger side to help offset the weight of the driver and balance the car out a bit...just a thought

Looks exactly like my interior minus the cage and track stuff. Spoon should just swap one of their built K motors into the Fit. Isn't J's Racing GD3 has K24 whereas the Spoon GD3 only has 130whp?

j's has a k20 head on a k24 block running ITB and pushing right around 300hp on their gt spec fit. its the most balanced k20 fit. spoon wanted to keep the l15 to keep things simple and show that they have a few tricks to make a slow car fast with stock parts.
