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 
Is SHG Mike your boyfriend? JW. Bc his wife/gf got a fit since he had gotten himself one. Just wondering if that was you!

Re: SHG_Chiquita's (Slowly but Surely) 2008 Fit Build Thread
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.
Yes I do need wheels, this spring I'm planning on getting some...once I can save up the dough.
