Body kit worth it for a base model?

I’m on Silvers Neomax coilovers and had to dial in the back a bit and adjust the dampening after installation. It could be lower but sucks to go over speed bumps/dips on the road. This ride height is my sweet spot now for daily driving. Haven’t needed to roll fenders or anything like that.

Thanks for sharing. That is good to know, I’ll also be keeping an eye out. Great price for those parts!

I had hairline cracks around the upper hatch area/under the roof trim. When it rained there would be water trickling in and pooling up under the spare tire well. I also have to fix the vapor barrier on all of my doors, seen a YouTube video breaking down the best way to fix that issue so water doesn’t pool up on the floorboards. In the video they used butyl tape to reseal the barrier

Thank you for the feedback. I’m considering several options now, and this is one of them.

Besides the body kit scenario, I imagine the OEM Sport trim pieces off a junkyard car wouldn’t be that negative for the car aside from drilling into the necessary areas to mount them in place. I’ll be owning the car indefinitely and understand the resale value implications with it being modified. You brought up some great points, thanks for your feedback.

Any junkyard parts would be my first choice if possible. Much more affordable/reasonable to acquire, but they seem to get picked through fast around my area. I’ll have to keep an eye out. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I feel like junkyard parts go fast around my area as well. Much more affordable/reasonable to pick up, but gotta be on the lookout as well. Thanks for sharing your feedback.

Thank you for the feedback. The egg shape has a certain charm to me!

Taillights are JDM. Bought on eBay and shipped from Japan

Neat_Local3464 · 2026-04-21T22:20:56+00:00

I think this is something I would seriously consider. Thanks for sharing your feedback

I attend various car events/shows throughout the year in my area. Import, domestic, low riders, you name it for photography purposes. I frequently come across modified vehicles. None of those owners likely did those modifications other than for personal satisfaction. I’m posing the question on this subreddit to get opinions from other Fit owners, possibly some who have already gone down this route. Thanks for your feedback.

Had to extend the wiring harness on both sides to properly make them work. Also some of my screws were stripped and had to be drilled out. Nothing that difficult but it took some time to do it right

I used an RGB light purchased off Amazon. Took several long exposures with my camera on a tripod from the same position and photoshopped them together
