Not a Wago but as close as I can get for now aka Fit
Ray731
Band Wagon
So, while I wait for the AWD wagon I'm looking for as a project, I think I'll share my 2010 Fit progress...
The day I bought it I brought it home and put wheels on it. The factory steelies have 11 miles on them. (And my TPMS sensors)
I went a while without doing much to it. I wanted the Stealership to install a Mugen kit. They refused! They would not put any Mugen parts on a Base. I knew the front bumper would have to be changed out. But they said no...
12k miles later I shared a lane with a Trailblazer...
I decided to replace the bumper myself and had a friend of mine who has a collision repair shop paint the bumper for me. Everything included I spent $50 extra to have the sport instead of repairing the orig one. Yes that is an OEM bumper and fogs.
The side tones were hardest to match. You can see it in pictures where the bumper meets the fender. Perfect match with the hood.
I also got myself OEM Keyless entry, OEM accord horn swap, OEM floor mats, OEM rear cargo cover. I have Drop Zone springs. I just need two consecutive days off or a backup car in case I cannot finish in a day.

You are the only person who has ever said anything bad to me about the DZ's. I know they'll be stiffer than stock. Other Fit drivers have done them with good results. It's only temp till I do coil-overs next year.
I think I'll need more than just luck with finding a RT4WD! What I need is a clean shell and rebuild-able drive-train. I'd settle for a clean shell for now.
Thanks for all the comments!

It really is coming together nicely. I test drove and lock to lock a varied speeds no rubbing! I'm excited! Oh and so far the DZ springs ride great. Stiffer than stock, but that's what I want. IMO it handles better too!
