Congrats on the fit ken! It's a great car I love it. I had an 07 civic EX Coupe and traded it in for the fit and never looked back.

funniest shit ever!! i thought i was the only one anal enough to hear that also
great way to make sure the passenger will never get back in the car! it creeps a lot of people out for some reason (telling them the gas is up front)

Congrats!!! I just got my Storm Silver 5MT Sport last night and came from an 06 civic as well. You'll love the Fit, it's so much nicer then the civic.

yah, i should've just gotten the Fit 5MT last year instead of the civic.
not sure wat i was thinking.

congrats to you too, Kelmar!

i got some GF210's ordered so perhaps over the xmas break i can
install that and play with it until spring and get some Rota's in 15's
most-likely going to do the medallion too.

Oh and in case you were still wondering, i think that Black Fit had the Noblesse body-kit and rims not sure if the rims are same brand but worth a try!

Yeah, I got the civic instead because they wouldn't have any fits for a month or two and I needed a new car, I had wanted the fit as well.

guys, we need to do something about our f-king pos horn.

anyone give me tips on where the horn is? is it accessible without
removing the bumper? i haven't had a chance to really look at the
car due to 15F-22F outside.

i might just replace them with my factory G35C air horns i have in my
stash box. i have better sounding air horns in my coupe that i bought
from Griot's.

ok, a little pict... the new 15's for my Fit. these might be 15x7's
i can't tell. there's no stamp on the wheel...store told me 6.5", but it's
wider then that.

the SSR's you see in the pict are on my G35C with 19's. quite different, huh?

this is wat it could look like... just a quick chop this morning.

the primary reason why i chose the gun metal center is because of the
rear dumb (drum) brakes on our cars. unless you got some mesh type
wheels to cover it up, the rear just looks so... say... crappy(?).

the gun metal color blends with the dumb brake color and your
eyes get pulled by the polished large lips altering your focus.

Hey Congrads on your car and looks great to me. How are you liking it so far? It has got to be one of the most fun cars to get behind the wheel of. My dealership did give me a 15% discount on my mats and cargo cover plus a few more items I got right after purchase. They were also really nice to do the work for free - Lester Raines Honda was great.

Let us see pictures once you are all done!

Congrats on the Fit. You can get the digital thermometers at Mitsuwa..atleast they have it at the one over here, not sure about Chicago.

Since they don't make white in 08, I don't know where I'm gonna find a white 07 at.. bah.

cat- congrats on your purchase too. man, your dealer is cooler than mine.
hahaha although the whole time i was teasing the sales guy
about the floor mats. at the time of delivery the car had those paper
floor covers when you go in for service. i told him 'yah, thanks for the
f-king floor mats. ' pointing at that sheets of paper. he cracked up.

anyway, i got the floormats, etc at collegehills and should have them
in my hands by Tues... they have great prices so even with the freight
i was still cheaper than getting them from my dealer 'at cost.' watever
that means...

so far im loving the car. the gearbox is EXCELLENT! car feels very quick.
i keep telling my wife give some errand so i can shoot out to the stores
in my Fit. i can't believe how smoothly i can drive this car with
snow boots on...doing heel & toe, etc.


demigod- thanks!
yah, i think places like AutoFreak would have them. my local
mitsuwa (chicago) does not have anything for cars... so will check with
the shop where i got the wheels yesterday (One6motorsports)

I might wait until Spring and wire it up together when i replace the
horns (need to remove the front bumper anyway). my garage is currently
occupied by my two hibernating hobby cars... don't want to wake them
up unless absolutely necessary.
