Looks like that's what I may do too. After tint, which I was quoted $275, looking to do cheap easy things that'll make it look much better.

Kenchan, I see that Zeta dead pedal on Zeta's site. Thanks, that's hella easy too.

Uh... in rough order: Zeta hatch trim, pinstripes, tint, Chinese knock-off Mugen style vent visors, H® keyless entry, alarm and rear bumper applique, cheap crap Chinese door sill trim that I need to get rid of, H® all-season floor mats and hatch liner, home-made antenna plug, H® steering wheel cover, and Zeta wide body side molding. I've still got to get the Zeta dash/door trim painted before I install it.

My Fit is held together with 3M double sided tape!

I got the Zeta dead-pedal and dash trim before I had even bought the car. After was tint, HID, shifter, bumper cover, intake, axle-back, header, springs, visors, and a whole bunch of other stuff, i lost track after about fifteen or twenty things LOL Best bang for the buck mods are 1. Adjust the headlights 2. RSB 3. lowering springs with stock struts You can do those three for under three hundred bucks.

I wish I could do a ton of mods right now but paying CC debt is my top priority. That's why you guys keep hearing my say things like cheap an easy so many times, lol.

Progress rear sway bar has been my favorite no downside mod. It made the Fit less susceptible to crosswinds, handles loads better, and made almost no difference in the ride.

after quickly getting all-season floor mats...i did Progress springs and Progress RSB in one shot. I have to agree with everyone...RSB and springs is the best affordable mod to do on the Fit in regards to handling and looks. Handle those bills man...

First Upgrades

The very first thing was to install a set of side moldings that I purchased from Thailand BEFORE I'd even bought the car! Followed by: JDM Console/Armrest, Zeta Door Sills, Chrome door handle covers, cargo tray & cover, Silver door handle trim & switch panels/dash, chrome gauge rings, Blue vinyl horn pad 'H' appliqué, custom front "Fit" plate, custom front lower grill trim, chrome interior door handles, and just yesterday, a "Sport" emblem on the rear hatch (courtesy of parts4vw)....Gosh! I didn't realize how much I've done!!!
'07 VBP Sport 5MT w/minor appearance & comfort mods!!

A Spoon strut tower bar was my first upgrade. Followed by some essential JDM interior parts such as the center console, coin holder and passenger side visor w/mirror.
