The Tjin Edition team always seems to find a way to make a big splash at SEMA. We've already seen the super clean Tjin Edition/Mobil 1 Pontiac G8 CST that will be flexing its muscle in the General Motors booth this year (Click Here). For something a bit different, Neil Tjin's younger brother Gene, part two of the Tjin Edition duo, got into the spirit of things with a 2009 Honda Fit subcompact and worked some impressive magic. Some might remember Gene's first notable build in 1998, the Autobahn Blue Bomex Honda Accord that was groundbreaking for its time.

Exterior modifications on the Tjin Edition/Mobil 1 Fit begin with a complete color change that is similar to the Tjin Edition/Mobil 1 G8 CST. Gene also worked in Kenstyle side skirts, a Kenstyle rear wing, Sport front and rear bumpers, and a cool custom modification in the form of a twin-vented Webasto sunroof, an option that is not available for the Honda Fit.

Custom Function and Form Type II coilovers lower the ride height of the Fit, which rolls on a set of truly old-school BBS RS wheels with black powder coated spokes and wrapped in Dunlop rubber. The mini Honda is also sporting unique peanut butter guts. For those of you who aren't down with the hippest slang, it means the interior was wrapped in tan leather (write that down).

Along with the slick-looking peanut butter interior, Tjin also added a premium audio system that will upset your stomach. A full Realm audio system was installed, along with a Visteon navigation unit that will direct the Honda straight to Las Vegas, where everyone can catch a glimpse of the sick Tjin Edition/Mobil 1 Fit in the American Honda booth.
