So I finally have my Fit. It's going back to the dealer soon for the console installation and floor mats. Also, the rear bumper applique has bubbles and doesn't seem to be quite installed right, so it'll go back for that too.

That said, I love it so far. Friends and family have made funny comments of the styling, but it doesn't bother me. I have had a few compliments from the neighbors. My favorite part is the iPod integration (with the navigation unit). I had the tint done yesterday and is 15%.

Here are the Fit pics

My other car (2003 Audi A4, for sale) - anybody wanna buy it?

Thanks to everyone here in helping me make my decision to buy one.

JR

 

Love the tint on these cars. Looks sharp.

 

 

Looks nice, glad to see they brought back white for '09. It totally looks like a different car than the 07-08.

 

Very Nice.!! Did that police car follow you home to cite you for the tint?
Joking, 15% is illegal here...

Congrats from one TW owner to another.

 

Welcome to the Taffeta Club!!!

 

I'm not sure I like the sound of that.... LOL

 

From Wikipedia:

Taffeta (formerly sometimes spelled taffety) is a crisp, smooth woven fabric made from silk or synthetic fibers. The word is Persian in origin, and means "twisted woven." It is considered to be a "high end" fabric, suitable for use in ball gowns, wedding dresses, and in interiors for curtains or wallcovering. There are two distinct types of silk taffeta: yarn-dyed and piece-dyed. Piece-dyed taffeta is often used in linings and is quite soft. Yarn-dyed taffeta is much stiffer and is often used in evening dresses. While silk taffeta has been classically woven in Italy and France and until the 1950s in Japan, today most silk taffeta is produced in India. Originally this was produced on handlooms, but since the 1990s, it has been produced on the most modern looms in the Bangalore area. From the 1970s until the 1990s, the Jiangsu province of China produced some fine silk taffetas. They were less flexible than the Indian mills that now dominate production. Other countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are weaving silk taffeta, but not yet either at the quality or competitiveness of India. The most deluxe taffetas are still woven in France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

 

Too funny!

After I saw your post, I looked up Taffeta on Wikipedia and just read that!

Yeah - maybe that's not the best name - Taffeta seems a bit too fabulous, if you get my meaning.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...as Seinfeld would say.

 

Thats' exactly what I was thinking..

How does one Lissssp on a keyboard?

 

Looks nice! Taffetta white was my 2nd choice (Storm silver being 1st).

 

Looks great with the tint!!
