Default Tjin Edition Honda Fit GE / Version 2.0

Well boys and girls, now that SEMA has come and gone the pictures can finally be made public. These are four of the images that Wes Allison shot for Honda North America that will be used for their marketing materials and what not.

A little background on the build; Honda North America contacted us to see is we wanted to do a follow up to the last Fit GD that we did (Two-tone Copper, Kenstyle, HRE's, etc) for this years SEMA Show and gave us a little over four weeks do complete the car. Obviously four weeks isn't too much time so I we decided to keep it pretty simple with paint, audio, wheels and suspension. We chose to do something a little bit different than the "typical" build by doing something that everyone can relate to in some way when building a car that's capbale of being used on a daily basis.

Anyways, this wouldn't have been possible without some of the people that helped back the project including Mobil 1, NOS Energy Drink, Unique Fabrication, MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust, Function / Form Suspension, Dunlop Tires, Realm Audio, Ignited HID, Visteon and Webasto so a huge "thank you" goes out to them.

As expected, the car should and will be a "love it or hate it" build but as always, comments/criticism is welcome. Enjoy.

I dig it

What rear spoiler is that? Looks like the original one but a tad bit longer, or it could just be me.

I'm loving the seats. I'm not too particular on the wheel/tire setup, but overall it's pretty good.

I was bored so I actually had 100-spoke wire wheels that I powdercoated matte black but they kept on leaking so I scrapped those last minuted and picked up the BBS RS'.

It's actually the Kenstyle spoiler off of our first Fit made to work on this one...

If I'm honest, out of the two options, the BBS' are the better choice.

color looks great. The interior looks very classy and the system flows well. no more color matched lips for the Tjin boys?

It looks good, I just feel like theres a bunch of small details that would make it look much much better.
