On the competition freaky site a member is offering to sell a front lip and winglets made from aluminum UNLESS YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY YOU DON'T WANT OR LIKE PAYING BIG BUCKS TO LAWYERS DO NOT INSTALL ONE OF THESE ON YOUR FIT.
There is a reason that car manufactures use plastic for body parts it called LIABILITY. Think about hitting a kid that walks in front of your Fit and you give him a little bump with a plastic lip. Not much damage to the kid because the plastic flexes or breaks limiting the injuries to the kid.
Now think about the same accidental hitting of the kid with a razor blade on the front of the car and to your horror you jump out only to find the kid on the ground with his feet cut off above the ankles and his feet under your Fit:eek:
Besides how bad you will feel for the kid with no feet it's time to run for the lawyers to try and save your house (or all your other assets) from being taken away in the lawsuit to come.
Then the really bad news the fact that you installed an unapproved UNSAFE product on you car without notifying your insurance company means YOU will be liable NOT THE INSURANCE COMPANY. The kid that is making these is just a kid and has limited funds the lawsuits are going to come after YOU and him.
A sheet of aluminum only a couple mm thick mounted sideways sticking out the front of your car is an invitation to disaster. At any speed the mass forcing the unbreakable, thin, edge of that blade like appendage to cut through anything it comes into contact with is enormous and since it will not bend or break it cuts causing horrendous damage to any soft tissue it comes into contact with.
So unless you are independently wealthy or you father is a famous lawyer AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE. :eek:
