🚗 Afraid of being too plain? Let MUGEN transform your Fit!

The 4th-generation Fit may lean towards family use, but MUGEN offers two exciting styling kits—DASH and SKIP—to inject some personality. From carbon fiber grilles to colorful accents, and even 17-inch wheels, there’s no shortage of customization options. Whether you prefer a bold sporty look or subtle elegance, MUGEN has you covered. 🛠️

From Family Car to Personal Style

The fourth-generation Fit (GR) has often been criticized for its overly cute appearance and lack of sporty vibes. Adding to the disappointment, it no longer offers a manual transmission option. Many have labeled this generation a "housewife's car."

Honda’s recent release of the new N-One, complete with an RS version and 6-speed manual, suggests Honda might be shifting its "fun" car focus to the N-One, leaving the Fit as a family-oriented small car. While this is speculation, it’s undeniable that the fourth-generation Fit is more family-focused than ever.

Since the N-One Kei-Car isn’t available in China, fans have turned their attention back to the Fit. How can such a family-oriented car be made "fun"? Earlier this year, MUGEN provided an answer at the Tokyo Auto Salon with two styling kits that reimagine the Fit: DASH and SKIP. Let’s dive into how these kits transform the fourth-generation Fit.

MUGEN’s Two Styling Kits: DASH & SKIP

MUGEN focuses primarily on the exterior since the Fit’s performance doesn’t offer much room for enhancement. The two kits target different aesthetics:

1. DASH Kit: A bold and sporty design for those seeking a dynamic look.
2. SKIP Kit: A more understated design with customization through color options.

DASH Styling Kit: Sporty & Aggressive

The DASH kit emphasizes sporty aesthetics. It retains the factory front bumper but modifies the side intakes with an exaggerated, three-dimensional design for a dynamic feel. The grille is replaced with a MUGEN carbon fiber version, paired with a sporty front lip for added flair.

Key Features of the DASH Kit:

• Front Intakes: Redesigned side air intakes enhance the car’s dynamic stance.
• 
• Grille: Carbon fiber accents featuring the iconic MUGEN logo.
• Side Skirts: Subtle yet functional, connecting the front and rear for a cohesive look.
• 
• Spoiler: A familiar design from the previous generation, likely to inspire aftermarket imitations.
• 
• Rear Lip: A diffuser-inspired design that amplifies the sporty vibe.

SKIP Styling Kit: Understated Elegance

The SKIP kit takes a subtler approach but still leans toward sportiness. Its standout feature is the availability of seven color options, allowing for customization through contrasting shades.

Key Features of the SKIP Kit:

• Front Lip: Low-profile yet impactful when paired with the right color combination.
• 
• Side Skirts: Detailed design with added protective strips on the lower doors.
• Spoiler: Same design as the DASH kit but painted to match the SKIP theme.
• Rear Lip: Simpler than the DASH version but provides a clean, polished look.

Wheels & Accessories

To complete the transformation, MUGEN offers a set of 17-inch alloy wheels named MDE, designed to complement both kits.

• Wheel Details:
  • Size: 17x7J
  • Inset: 60mm
  • Recommended Tires: 205/40R17
• 

For added security, MUGEN also provides two sets of anti-theft wheel bolts available in silver and black finishes.

Mirror Customization:

MUGEN offers carbon fiber side mirror covers with aerodynamic elements and blue multi-coated lenses for enhanced visibility and anti-glare effects. Some versions include turn signal indicators based on the car’s configuration.

MUGEN Enhancements:

• Wheels: 17-inch MDE cast wheels paired with anti-theft bolts.
• Mirrors: Carbon fiber shells with aerodynamic design and blue-coated lenses.

Final Thoughts

MUGEN’s products are a testament to its reputation among car enthusiasts, but styling is ultimately subjective. Whether you prefer the boldness of DASH or the subtle elegance of SKIP, these kits offer a starting point for making the fourth-generation Fit uniquely yours. After all, individuality is what matters most, right?
