Didn't really do anything TO the fit, guess you can call it more of an accessory.

I think they are like 20 cents a piece. You have to drill out the hole in the back of the cap to a little larger than 3/16" and then they fit like they were made for the car.

EDIT: A thread on how to do this.

No, they're hub centric bolt-on. Didn't wanna lose that much thread on my studs. I already have to put ballseat adapters on for my lugs, but they use less than a half turn.

Got my Fit's first oil change yesterday. She had about 6,500 miles put since I bought her and her oil life was only at 50%. When I got to the dealership they told me I really didn't need to come in until the maintainance minder kicked in at 15% oil life. That kind of puzzled me a bit because I was always under the impression that the oil in newer cars should be changed every 5,000 miles.

Either way, I still got her oil changed.

Next Project: Since she is a base model I will be adding a spoiler. Trying to decide whether I want OEM style or a Winged-style.

I was under the same line of thought before the Fit. Read up on the MM. You might change your mind. I did. On the Fit, you can do away with oil change/mileage way.

Here's an older thread that might interest you:
