I posted this in another section and a buddy told me to re post it here. Im A noob to the site. This is my wifes 08 fit bought it brand new went straight from honda with 4 miles on it to the body shop to get two toned and lower. Tell me what you guys think.

First day she got it



Me taking a brand new car apart


Theres nothing like have a brand new car blown apart before you make the first payment

Sanded for paint

In the booth getting ready to spray

Before and After

 

I'm not normally a big fan of two tones except on trucks and some classics but it looks pretty good. Any other plans for it? Some wheels and a couple small details would look nice.

 

LOL I would like to put some 16 on it but i dont have a clue on what rim i should use any suggestions? And im sure some small dents will come with time. I also have a two toned 97 hatch will post pics of it some day when i get it out the garage.

 

im on the fence about it....looks like good work though!

 

give u props man! getting a new car and paint it right after. only for the baller status. post the 97 hatch!!

 

That takes guts to send it to paint that quickly...at least there wasn't any bodywork!

Looks good though...I'm also not especially a fan of two-tone on imports, but I think you pulled it off very well.

 

Lol I said details dude not dents. I.E. Exhaust, foglights, HID's maybe, etc. etc.

As far as wheels go IDK. Something clean, silver or polished. Mag blue might work but it may also clash with the existing blue. I'd stick with sil or pol.

 

yea i know not everyone likes it but it looks good imo. I think if you saw it up close in the right light you would dig it.
Thats what happens when you are raised in a body shop. I will post up pix of the hatch when the weather clears its raining here
Yea that was the reason we did it it was brand new just scuff and shoot. We will see if you like my hatch i have had it done for 6 years now and its two-toned also.
LOL I cant read its all the paint fumes. Yea want to get hid and rims prob not exhaust until it gets the k20 swap

 

Heres a sneak peak of the hatch. Its a bad picture but you will get the point. Its prowler orange and a cream pearl white. It was my high school car and daily driver for 5 years. Now she just sits in the garage. I did the paint job when i was a junior in high school it was my first and is still in awesome condition.

 

man you just like to ruin cars dont you!!!!!!!!!! haha

 

thats you opinion i guess. I dont know why everyone hates on two-tone on this site but its all good.

 

Looks like you did a great job with the work, but not a big fan of the blue and silver two tone.

 

Looks great.Nice set off wheels and she'll deff be looking up to par.

 

Its a dark purple just to correct you lol. Thanks put alot of sanding time in on the fit
Thanks i have the money for rims but just am having a hard time deciding what kind/style. Have any suggestions?
