if I do get the civic sold....im looking at 1500 bucks more or less. Im thinking of starting with some Tein s. to drop the height and improve cornering...sound good? also, maybe a lip kit and some red emblems to set it off. I left the intake for the civic, so i will need a new one. the stock honda air sucker is like a flexie straw.. no air pull whatsoever.

What ones do you guys like, and btw, it has to be SRI. i live in a weird area that gets monsoons every july and august. so i really dont want to vacuum the bottom of a river every year. I will try to get some pics coming but alas, i dunno how to get pics imported. they seem to fizzle out when emailing and others....maybe yall can help.

Welcome to the forum and the Fit Freak Family. There is a thread about how to import but I use ImageShack down my pictures. Use the forum size image and click to copy and then paste onto the forum in the message box. Sounds like your future mods are good places to start at!

well, today im off to the dealership to go sign the papers for the new 07 black fit. only 30K miles on it and it is totally clean. i am hoping to sell the civic this weekend...cash baby! next is the springs. tein is the name for me i guess. the car definately needs an altitude adjustment.

Hey dude welcome to the group and congrats a your purchase. I just convinced my buddy to sell his Mazdaspeed Protege and get a fit. I'm a local of AZ like you by the way and the place to get your badges and more is local. look up icbmotorsport.com the owner is a cool guy and everything is "REAL DEAL" honda of japan, mugen, spoon and more. Oh yeah, there arent many of us here in AZ either..... BUMER!!!!

your right about that. this car was originally from chandler, up your way. Im in the border area. North of Nogales and south of Tucson. I get a few fits here in Rio Rico, but they are older peeps. Same in Green Valley.


My first look up is gonna be some red lug nuts. hope hes got some to go wit da badges!

well, i ordered the red emblem for the rear to try out. looks great online, hopefully easy to install! I think you guys' blk fits with red accents are just bitchin. way to go, hope you dont mind me emmulating you.

Bump! i gotta see that. have they been done in other colors? since i was a civic guy earlier, i just remember the red emblems for the SiR packages. it was a fad or so I thought. I just thought it looked clean.


i installed the emblem, but with a twist....i couldnt trust the tape on the badge, so i used some glue sparilngly. i guess im just paraniod.

Don't get me wrong the red H looks great. But I like to change things up & if you look at the paint job on a black Fit it has a lot of blue flakes in the paint . So I figured my set up is gonna be blue. Coz even the instrument lights look great in that blue. So I gotta either find blue emblems or have them made, I will post pics as soon as I figure it out and then maybe we can get the emblems in any color we want.

hey, before you go and drop 50 on an emblem, check out the diy section and see what these guys and gals did! they used 3m colored tape and the stock emblem. one guy did white, one guy did orange...looks hella cool. I think im gonna try out the red tape on the front emblem. cause i like the 3d effect the front has....may look better and be cheaper.
