Oh jesus

It's a race car who cares if you sit in it?

Oh nvm it's a fake display race car that never sees the track so gotta keep it shiny. I'd think they'd be happy someone took interest enough to sit in it.

I have seen quite a few Scion IQs on the road not bad looking at least not as bad as the Smart.

Yeup!

We go every year. I'll be shopping for new 18" forged wheels there even though I may already have a set on the way. Weird that I don't know for sure yet or not...

Haha. Not worthy by a long stretch. SEMA is for $100,000+ cars, not stockish Fits.

Honestly they arent all like that im sure if you have a clean car nice wheels and maybe a kit you can get it in there, interior would help alot too. I was supposed to put my fit in sema before but the wife uses it for daily but I might next year for the hell of it. If your was I was going to offer you some goodies for the show

i don't think the IQ's looks bad either, just not roomy enough, not really sure what the real benefit is with those 2 particular cars other than parallel parking in NYC or something.

but this one, i think looks freaking awesome. concept only though

Just picked up the Fit after the swift spring install. Far better than the H&Rs for ride quality but still obviously feels lowered. 4/5 stars.

Almost got to have a chance to see how a body shop works on a Fit...Driving down a street at 25mph, guy in a pickup pulled out from the curb without looking or signaling. I laid on the horn, hit the brakes, and started to swerve left. The guy kept turning! He was in the middle of his illegal U-turn from the curb when he finally saw me and put a shocked look on his face, and stopped. By then he was sideways to the lanes and my front bumper was a foot or two from T-boning his driver door.

I went directly to my honda dealer and ordered a new "low tone" Accord horn. I don't think the pickup driver had ever heard my meeeeeeeeeeeep blast from the Fit stock horn, as his windows were shut. The new horn was more than I expected (~$50), while I thought I had read here it was much cheaper. But I was already there, the nearest junks are about 30 miles away, and I was also purchasing a new cover (w/on-off switch) for my rear interior light, so I went ahead with the order. Should be in Monday.

The story behind this... my wing has taken damage (cracked a seam) from the NJ/NY trip. And I get to keep the old wing... so now, I'll have 2 GT wings... what to do?

Lesson: when you go LEGIT... you get LEGIT service!
any plans of selling the old wing? how bad is the crack

Dude, you got screwed. I bought the Accord horn for $20 out the door.

EDIT: Also... rear interior light... you mean a cargo light with an on/off switch? Do tell!

And I don't know if the Accord horn is louder, just lower. Get some Hella Supertones! They're awesome and EVERYONE will hear you.
