I would have liked blue, white, red, or orange but I got silver metallic because I bought it used, manual transmission, good deal, and needed a car ASAP. I am not a fan of silver, but the only benefit is that it doesn't look dirty even when it is.

I am new to fit. Just bought it almost 2 months ago. It's blaze orange, and my friends says its a female color.. *sigh*..

I thought it was a really cool orange.

What do you all have to say? How many women here have an orange fit?

Ice bomb--I do not think Orange Revolution is a feminine color at all--to me it is a bold and aggressive color.. Of all the Fit colors, I think it is the most rugged looking.
Other colors are more neutral- black, white, red silver. Some say the Tidewater Blue is more feminine. I have that color and am partial to blue/lavender shades.

If the GE had come in Vivid Blue, I would have like that.

Got the Milano Red. I'm always jealous whenever i see a TW on the roads. White just seems like the perfect color for the Fit.

I have vivid blue pearl. Shiny after a car wash Mmmmm. I saw a burgundy Fit GD couple weeks ago. Not sure if the owner did a paint job but everything looked stock no aftermarket parts on the car or anything.

Maybe it had a color like mine? It is a Black Amethyst Pearl color. And that is an originale paint color from Honda.

I love my vivid blue pearl one since my favorite color is blue (Go Dodgers), but I would have also liked a white one since I love white cars.

I also wanted White, its such a sexy color, why they discontinued it for 08 is beyond me. There is a white GD running around here and every time I see it I hate the owner of that car, lol

That said I LOVE my NHBP Fit it looks so damn good when all cleaned up, jsut a PITA too keep looking great

My 2007 nighthawk black base Fit. Recently did some mods and paint and body, three years on the streets of Brooklyn and Queens there was not a straight panel on it.

Buddy club shifter and RSX aluminum knob. Some Mugen eng. bling oil cap res socks. Strut brace. C pillar bar. Honda Fogs headlight armor yellow covers. Honda keyless entry. Honda Mats. Lightweight crank pulley. HOP JDM window visors.

That looks a lot like Dark Cherry Pearl off of the Honda Ridgeline (and maybe Pilot too).

I almost ended up with vbp only because wait was killing me, but i held out and got what I wanted from the beginning. Have had three hondas this color, and is the oldest color still in the lineup. 1981 and still strong as ever. MILANO RED FTW BABY....

i'm a fan of silver but i bought used so you get what you get when you find a decent deal.

mine's super bright red. looks nice enough with tinted windows but i've never been a fan of red cars (or black). silver/white are my preferences but oh well. i'm happy with it. being a UL fan it works fine.

I wanted the 2008 Honda Fit in Blaze Orange and waited almost 2 months for it to be built and shipped from Japan. It's a fantastic color! 3 1/2 years later it is dinged, has a broken right rear taillight cover, puckered right rear fender, and scratch marks on the plastic bumpers; but, in the sun, she shines even more beautiful than a real copper penny.
