  • Static LipLow Honda Fit GE8

    Edit: Here's some motivation for you to scroll through this thread. This is how the car sits as of 5/1/16

    Now that I can confidently say my Fit is one of the lowest in the US, if not the lowest, I can start my S/W thread lol. So I bought my fit new in March 2013. It's a manual sport model in Taffeta White. I went through all the basic ricer mods and finally found my way and started to stance the shit out of it. As it sits now it's static and the winner of 1st Slammed at Offset Kings Chicago. I'm not gonna waste my time explaining my shitty old mods but I'll post a few pics so you guys can see the progression. Feel free to ask questions, I'm not the type of person who won't tell you specs on anything lol. Let's begin the photo dump.

    After that point I got serious and got real wheels, had them powder coated, got Swift springs:

    Oh yeah the passenger side NUE's are Candy Gold and the drivers side is Candy Teal.

    I wasn't nearly satisfied with how low my car was so I started doing custom work on my suspension. First thing I did was cut and reweld all 4 lower mounts nearly 2" shorter. Heres a pic of that:

    If the new mount looks like it was rewelded crooked that's because it was lol. I had to redo it. These new mounts let me go lower than I ever dreamed. So I got a lip and painted that and made some side skirt extensions. I have done a lot more to the car like lots of lighting stuff, a retrofit, exhaust, shifter stuff but I need to kind of breeze over that because I don't want to retype all of that stuff lol. So here is how she sits now, nothing has changed yet since I won the award except I repainted the lip a few times and now it's off because I broke it. I have a new lip coming in tomorrow. Enjoy:

          Very nice!

          I love the contrast of the teal against the white, and how classy the gold looks against the white on the other side.

            Two questions.

            Do cops mess with you for having your front plate like that

            Does the fit have the same stupid upper control arm banging that the old Honda chassis's suffer from? I'm just completely curious. Car looks GREAT.

              Fits use MacPherson strut-based suspension. No upper control arm shenanigans.

                Surprisingly I haven't been pulled over yet at all after I put the plate there. I did get pulled over when I had the plate on the dash. And yeah no upper control arms on the fit. The suspensions downfall is that the rear axle is solid and to get camber you have to cut off the hub and reweld it. Nobody in the US has attempted it. But of course tons of guys in Asia do it lol. And thanks for all of the positive comments guys I appreciate it. I was messing with the rear today and I got the wheels to tuck a few millimeters but as of now they rub on the quarter panels under compression. I don't dare drive it until I can pull the quarters a bit more tomorrow. I'll have pics up when I get it done.

                  I never woulda thought a Fit could look so good lol. When I first saw the different color wheels, I was like wtf, but I couldn't stop looking back at the pics. And how you drive that low static is beyond me lol. Beautiful car, man

                        Yeah the two colors have kind of a way of trolling on your brain. Whenever my car is at a show people are always double taking when they see the other side. But yeah driving this thing static is pretty stressful but it's worth it haha. Thanks for all the other positive comments guys!

                          Definitely not the lowest Fit.

                              I give zero shits. I don't dig the car at all.

                              Just addressing the claim in the OP.
