Default It "fits"...

Here it is, the Honda Fit Sport Lip on the 99-00 Front End:

A complete walk-through:

Part of the lip:



In comparison to the old Si w/ arc winglets:





The length looks about right:



The fit lip is much taller:



The difference in mounting tabs:



One side on:



BUT, the other side wouldn't reach:



The tabs had to go:



As did these:



FLUSH on BOTH sides:





Time to secure the middle portion:

Bolts had to go at each 3 tabs. I marked where the hole should be first:



Then took the lip off and drilled:



Nice & Flush:



Part 2: ARC winglets:







Everything together:











EDIT: Sorry for the crappy overall pictures, when I finished it was night out AND raining.

GREAT JOB SK8! Wish I could have gotten the one I ordered for my brother's hatch. The guy fell thru on shipping it so I never got the chance. It was already milano red and everything...would have looked great on his 2000 hatch.

I love DIY projects like these.

Looks good Evan. Finally someone with some good pics of this thing! Take some pics from further away. I'm not sure if I like it or not, looks like a fake ctr lip. :shrugs:

i'd like to see better pics whenever you get a chance.
