First post...FINALLY! more to come

On Friday I finally got my first ever "new car". I have obsessed over honda fits ever since I saw one and I was not willing to settle.

I started doing mods on it the day I got it. The first things to change was removing the pinstripe and changing the interior lights to LED. I have plans to add and LED light bar to the front bumper. Im also going to convert to jdm and make the interior all my own by reupholstering and dying/painting the plastic. Hopefully i can lower her at some point.
But im just getting started and so many more modifications to come!

Great purchase! Nice color too. I hate when dealers add pinstriping.

And not one "how-to" post about it?

I'm excited you're here.

If you plan to convert exterior to JDM, be prepared, the front is a lot of work and money. There's a thread on here discussing everything involved somewhere. It may be for "2009 Fit" but it will be the same/similar for yours.

The rear is easy enough though.

Welcome!

Welcome!

I love how happy you are with your Fit-- great pic!

You have good taste; I got a '13 PMM Sport myself at the end of April. Fantastic car!

Removing the pinstripe was pretty easy. All you need is razor blade, patience, and Goof Off. Which is a miracle worker!
Once I get my light bar in, im definitely going to post "how to" and photos because thats going to be a huge learning experience for me.

Ive looked over some of the post with all the jdm parts. Ive noticed it can add up quickly so it will definitely be a long process
