I've been reading these forums for the past week so I have a pretty good feel of what I need to know. The car itself is a beauty with only minor damages (looks like the previous owner had long nails that scratched up the paint under the handles) like an indenture in the backseat behind the driver's wheel where a carseat sat. I also noticed that the seat feels a little hard, but I suspect that'll break in over time.

Is there anything you'd suggest I do? It's coming with a hard rubber mat for the cargo space. I'm thinking about getting a cargo cover and perhaps a windshield cover (maybe the one you install on either side and then pull together to close?).

 

congrats on your purchase!!

those little scratches under the handle will come off with a little bit of polish
the indents should eventually go back to normal and yes the seats are hard you will get use the them

JDM armrest one of the best mods you can do to the interior of the fit IMO

 

Congrats on the car, the Fit is a great little car. There are tuns of fun things you can do with the car, it really just comes down to what you want out of the car, your goal for the car, what you consider fun and your budget.

 

New England is in the US haha

 

Was the same thing!

Saw a guy on from New Mexico the other day!

 

well.. isnt that embarrassing lol

 

Again, congrats on the purchase! I've had my fit for almost 5 years now and I love it.

If you already have a cargo cover, I'd suggest getting the Honda all-weather floor mats. They fit very well in the wheel wells, clean easily (I just shake them off in the summer and spray them off in the winter), and have kept an almost new appearance for going on five years. I bet they'd be helpful in the winter in NE as well.

The rest is up to you. There is a great deal of aftermarket available for our little cars. You can grab some rims, intake, exhaust, coil-overs, etc, or just rock it stock. Either way, enjoy your fit and feel free to ask questions!
