My first build post

I've been really inspired by the whole VIP movement, and decided to take a VIP-influenced approach to a make over of my daily driver, an 07 Honda Fit. I know this isn't a VIP car, and you'll never hear me refer to it as such. Thanks to everybody on here for the inspiration.

Started off sound deadening the interior with Rockford Fosgate deadskin

Decided to go with 18x8 +32 wheels and 205/35R18 Toyo T1R's, so rear quarters had to be cut and flared out about 1.5 inches and the inside of the rear bumper had to be shaved down

Nice fit. I like your suspension setup.

Only thing I cannot praise you for is the sportmax wheels.

I agree! Nice Fit! Is the rear a solid axle like the xB's are?

And first thing I noticed on the seats were the wrinkles. It's all fixable, though!

You built around the wheels to give it a great stance...but yea. SportMax...gotta find real rims that will give it the stance still. Did that metal work to get SportMaxs fitting right :sad:
