How much did he get for her?

 

Let us know where you go for tinting. I found a little shop on the west side that only does tinting. It's not the cheapest but everything is guaranteed for life (as long as I own the car). I am thinking 35% and 20% in the rear but I might go 50-35-20. I think we can do 35% on the sides in Texas.

Deadly clean car, congrats, it's beautiful, and I never thought I'd say that about a white car.

 

Loving the white!

Is that the cruise controls on the steering wheel?

Or radio control without the NAV option

 

Nice!

I love the white. Tint the windows now and it will look dynamite. Good choice.

 

ah, all honda's look good and white and this is no exception! it looks grand! congrats!

 

Wow.

OK, I gotta admit, this coming from a man who's not a big fan of white on cars...

That 09 is looking HOT in white!

I now officially like the look of the 09. From some of the earlier pictures, the nose looked too long, and just generally weird.. but now, looking at these, I almost wish I had waited and gotten an 09 instead of an 08. Very, very nice indeed!

Congragulations on your purchase! But you say it will be "her" car only? What do you drive, if I may ask?

 

Same comment as everyone else... glad to finally see a white one! Thanks for the great photos.

I never thought choosing a color would be so tough...

 

I think it looks great in white! Wish they'd have had white in 08. Car care is so much easier and it stays cooler too. It pulls off the Honda "good guy" look superbly!

 

Looks great. Are you going to get the windows tinted? I think that will really make it look sharp. Where are you in Texas? Getting tint here in Austin is a must!

 

car looks good... now all you need to do is drop it and powder coat those stockies black or gold and you'll be a baller.

yea that's right, powder coat the stocks. they're good looking wheels!

 

i like it.

 

I shopped in some tints, what do you guys think?

 

You're on the right track!

 

tint, lower it 1.5 inches and paint the stock wheels light gunmetal. that would look really nice.

 

I think gunmetal finish would look awesome against the white body. Not sure about painting stock rims (which I like) versus buying aftermarket in gunmetal finish. Have you painted rims before and, if so, what about durability?

 

So cool! I've got one just like this (TW, AT, No Nav) on order with a build date of 9/1. Dealer said he'd email me when they get the daily printouts showing VINS... Nothing as of 9/5...

These cars beg for tint, Is there a legal tint for the massive windshield to cut down heat gain? I'm planning on tinting pretty dark on the rear windows.

Congrats on your new baby! Hopefully I'll be picking mine up in Austin early Oct.

Awesome car...that made my descion alot harder...

 

Concerning the steering wheel, yes it has the cruise controls on the side where your right hand rests. It will be her car because it will stay garaged more than if I use it. I have a Camry that will get parked for 4 days at a time outside, and I'd rather not put this car outside like that (since its the new kid). I don't have a clue where to tint in Houston, but I will have to check into the place someone here mentioned. Other than tint though, I don't plan on modifying this car since she could care less about exotic wheels or lowering it. I was VERY close to purchasing a white 09 Toyota Corolla instead of this, but the people on this forum really sold me on the Fit. You guys have all been a great resource in making my decision. I plan on perusing here often for info and updates. Thank you!!

 

Yep, looks great with the photoshopped tint so I think you will need to get it done for your wife's car Visceral. It's just too damn hot here in Texas not to.

 

Here are tints photoshopped on:
