Default SHG_Chiquita's (Slowly but Surely) 2008 Fit Build Thread

SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES 12/12/10

After much debate and looking at many different cars, I decided on a 2008 VBP Fit. I bought the car in July.

The day I picked the car up (Next to SHG_Mike's Fit):





First thing I did was paint the fog light housing:



Next came the manifold cover:





I got Mugen springs from the boyfriend for my birthday:






I have a lot more planned for this car but don't have the funds to do it just yet...

Edit 2/10:
Got to love winter...






finally! some new developments! 11/10
some new additions



and


12/12/10
new hellas



new winter wheels/hellas installed


enjoying my car in the rain


both our cars in one shot

Lookwise or performance wise? Both. I love the look of the car, the drop is just enough. Performance wise the car is a little stiffer but nothing crazy until I hit a corner. The corners are where it is really obvious. The car has so much less roll.

Oh snap! Lovely fit. Cant wait to see the outcome of a build by a girl

yes that's me haha
I'm going to be completely honest, when fits came out I HATED them...(I also drove an A6)...they slowly grew on me, and after Mike got one I fell in love with them and decided I needed one myself.
