All 09 Fit Peformance Accessory

My question is, what is all the 09 Fit performance accessory that I can get right now? If anybody can list it here, it would make it much easier to mod our rides. And also if you guys can plz tell me if it has any issues with the fit. And btw, I got an 09 Fit Sport AT. Thx guys.

What are you expecting from this? More power, better handling? Etc... With modifications like intake and exhaust you wont gain more than a couple of HP that you wont feel. If you want better handling or just want to lower your car then get some coilovers and do it right. In the end if you want true power you will need a turbo or supercharger. Although since you have an automatic transmission which will never be as good as a manual tranny.

I also have an 09 but I dont want to throw my warranty out the window for 2 hp on an engine that comes with less than 100whp.

^I'm not 100% sure but I do know for a fact in Texas (could be different else where) what you do to your that is aftermarket will only void what you changed out. For example if you install an intake and your Air flow sensor goes bad that it is your fault but if you install an intake and your headunit goes out that your covered (that is if you are still covered by under a warrenty to began with).
This is just an example

Same over here. Although a simple intake can cause a dealership not to replace your engine in the highly unlikely event that your engine explodes. A simple intake can also affect your transmission. Lets say your tranny craps out somehow. They will say the added power of the intake put extra stress on the tranny which caused it to fail. Obviously this couple of hp will not cause this but if Honda finds ANY reason to not provide repairs under warranty theyre going to exploit that.

I love it when stelaerships try and pull this crap. I have a G35 and took it in to get the tranny due to the fifth gear would grind. They said it was due to me being neglegant when driving the car. Eventhough I had bolts on it including wheels they ended up replacing the tranny for me.

That's still not specific. How much power do you want? Are you satisfied with 100whp or would you like 200whp? Do you want a car to autocross or just to improve daily driving? There's hundreds of different brands and just as many modifications you can do. Do some searching and try to figure out what exactly you want and what expectations you have for your Fit.

Remember the Fit has a small engine so it will not respond well. You can spend thousands of dollars on minor bolt on modifications and you won't see more than 10hp which you will never notice. If your looking for power you need forced induction. Unfortunately there is no turbo or supercharger kit for the 09's yet.

Cusco, endura-tech, skunk2, tein, eibach to name a few. Do a search and type in coilovers or springs. There's a whole section about suspension if you just scroll down a little.

I know your intentions are good, but just a list of mods available isn't going to help anyone. I want to know more than just the name of the product I'm buying. If your in the market for an exhaust, you type in "exhaust" in the search or visit the whole sub forum dedicated to exhausts. You look at reviews, sound clips, and information about each brand make a decision by yourself. Since you have a Fit I'm assuming your at least 16. You should be able to do your own research and make your own decisions by now.
