recent small car coverage

At the latest HellaFlush 4 show in Hawaii, there were a few good examples of tuned subcompacts. Above is the Eight08Customs xB with Forjworks eyelids, alongside a pretty cool RS 5.0 xB.

I really like this new Honda Fit with Takata Green wheels and a good stance. It is hard to pull off colored wheels but I think this Fit does it swimmingly well.

It’s rare to see a Toyota Yaris tuned up, but this owner in Hawaii knows what’s up. Perfect daily driver!

Also recently was the Wek’Fest 2010 in San Francisco. Here’s a few pics of the sub-compacts I found, taken by Canibeat…

Nice stance on this xB and I like how monochromatic it is. It definitely has a presence that sets it apart from other xB’s I have seen.

A lot of style going on here with rare JDM body pieces and painted BBS wheels.

One of the first things I noticed about this xB was the wheel studs that are poking out. They look good on a set of baby blue widened steelies!

Lastly, I thought that the wheel fitment was right on with this tC. Must be tough to drive this on the hills of San Fran!

it’s a good FIT

Thanks goes to RA64FREDDY for showing off a couple pics of this very nice Honda Fit from Indonesia. With a staggered wheel setup, low stance, and Noblesse aero kit, you can’t go wrong on this Fit.

if the glove fits...

Here’s Logan from iputinWORK showing that the new Fit can look sporty and slick on a set of Work wheels. sporty and slick!

euro mode EGOIST – JDM-euro style for sub-compacts

Another interesting take of Japanese tuning – Euro style. One shop that specializes this, located in Japan, is Euro Mode Egoist. They take Japanese sub-compacts and transform them in to European styled machines. I love this red Honda Fit with great stance and subtle exterior upgrades, such as this dual exhaust tip with surrounding diffuser above.

Here is a previous look for it, with color matched lips on the wheels and stock bumpers.

Also, found on speedhunters was this sweet Z11 Cube. Some aren’t fans of this color, but I would kill for the new Cube to have this stock JDM color as an option. The OZ Futura wheels that are color matched sets the car off.

SSR Type-F Honda Fit

SSR Wheels, made in Japan and also featured on our SEMA Cube, have outfitted this new Honda Fit with their Type-F wheels. The race prepared look is helped by a Carbon Fiber hood and INGS+1 body kit. This would for sure be a fun grocery getter!

808 sub-compact style

Some pics taken recently of the Streetcar Supreme show in Hawaii by Colin Waki at DOHCresearch.com had to be shown, due to the presence of some awesome sub-compacts! The VIP scene is pretty big over there, and here are some xB’s done up just right.

Low and flush Honda Fit on what look to be Work Equip wheels. Hawaii must have some good roads to support these setups!

Nicely executed xB2…

I was loving this Yaris. You don’t really see too many of them modifying this extensively. It looks like it has undergone a full JDM conversion.

the fit is WOW

This first gen Honda Fit is very well executed and clean. With a JDM body kit, flush low offset wheels, and a turbo kit, this Fit has a few things going for it…
