“The daily driver.”
For many, the definition of a “Daily Driver” is simply a reliable car that will get one from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ on a day to day basis without any troubles whatsoever. Usually fuel efficient and super practical, the appearance of a “daily driver” for most is often neglected, and is almost always in the form of a subcompact or compact car. For those who are affected by the mod bug however, it is definitely a safe bet that almost anything you can get your hands on will not go untouched. For Daniel (aka Gangster D) and his 2007 Honda Fit Sport, forget everything you know about your typical “Daily Driver” and prepare to rethink how one can get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’. For those who have followed illmotion, you already know that this certainly is not the first modded Honda Fit that you’ve seen, as you are probably fully aware of the heavy aftermarket support that Japan has for Honda’s vehicle of the subcompact class.
Featuring a complete authentic JDM Honda Fit 1.5S front and rear end conversion and more original goods from Japan such as the front fenders, power folding mirrors, 1.5S Taillights with the 3rd brake lamp, JDM Honda Window Visors, fitted and mated with a Mugen Tailgate Garish, a Noblesse Rear Diffuser, Front Lip Spoiler, Type-S Front Grille, 3D GT Type-1 Wing and Type-V Hood from J’s Racing, the exterior of Daniel’s Honda Fit comes off more aggressive and more-so track ready than your typical Honda Fit. Might we reiterate that this is his daily street driven car? We just can’t stress that enough. It’s just amazing!
Daniel’s heavy arsenal of parts continues in the Suspension and Brakes department as he looks to such brands as J’s Racing, Type-One Racing, and Spoon to keep his Honda Fit married to the cement and stopping on a dime when he needs it to. A highly noticeable, yet attractive feature that Daniel has implemented to compliment the suspension and brake modifications are the Advanti MI539 wheels that are dipped yellow and blue, respectively on each side of the vehicle; reminiscent of the Spoon Sports colors.
To give his Honda Fit a little more of a kick, Daniel’s Fit sports a J’s Racing Carbon Tsuchinoko Chamber Kit and a J’s Racing GD3 304R SUS Rear Tail Exhaust. An AJ-Racing Custom Throttle Body has also been implemented into Daniel’s Fit since after all, daily driving does consist of passing other cars on the fly (if need be, of course).
Meticulous attention to detail is an understatement when it comes to Daniel’s Honda Fit as the interior underwent a complete “JDM” make over. Some key features inside Daniel’s Fit are the JDM GD3 Roof Console, Interior Chrome Door Handle Set, Sun Vizors, Hazard Switch, Door Sills, Front Coin Tray, Map lights going all the way down to the Foot Well Lights. A Mugen S1 full bucket seat, manual transmission pedal set, and door lock pin set can also be found in the interior of Gangster D’s Fit. Who said you can’t have a spirited drive on the daily commute anyway?
With a hefty list of modifications found on Daniel’s Honda Fit both inside and out, one may want to re-think the definition of a “Daily Driver” as Daniel pulls out all the right stops to making his Fit stand out from all other daily driven vehicles out there on the road today. No matter what mother nature throws in Daniel’s way: rain, shine, sleet, or snow, this Fit has been through it all; and at the end of it all that’s exactly what the true meaning of a daily driver is. In between the travel from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’, Daniel makes the possibilities seem endless, a look at his Honda Fit and you’ll see exactly why…
