I see it's now available at Hondaautomotiveparts for $432 prepainted in blue.
Honda Automotive Parts
Still a bit steep, but more tempting than my previous find of $500 + shipping from Japan.

Traded it in for a 2014 Accord LX. I will miss the Fit, it has been by far my favorite car. Just needed something safer, and room for 2 car seats.

Is the Fit EV spoiler the same as the Honda Access "Sports Neo" aka moustache spoiler?
They look very similar.

Increase in MPG if at all would be undetectable

Wing is just badass and that's all that matters

The EV spoiler is "THE" spoiler to have right now in my opinion. It flows so well with the rear end of the Fit, I really want one!

it has an improvement on aerodynamics, else honda would not have added such a sizable spoiler.

EVs need all the aero help they can

Totally agreed on the aero improvement but a noticeabele increase in MPG would not be possible with the simple addition of the wing

lots of improvements are minor enough to not be noticable. But do a bunch all at once, and have fun then!

Drove it home.

Integra/DB tried to "race" me as I exited the freeway. I just cruised and he revved and had at it next to me. He had the most annoying exhaust that was so high pitched and loud it irritated me to my bones. Worst of all I had to hear that 'til my turn came up because it was so slow.
Running on 4 hours of sleep and coming home from finals at school, and after a long hot day I just wanted some peace and quiet.

Anyways-- enjoyed my head unit coming home, it did wonders to the quality. Now planning to get a sub from my friend and maybe speakers later on

Today I ordered some Clazzio seat covers in all Ivory. Hope it doesn't clash too much with my white 2011 Fit Sport!

They weren't listed in stock, so I guess I have to play the waiting game now.

3-4 is better than 8-10! I despise the waiting game, but (luckily?) I have about 10 other projects to do in the meantime.

*Edit* Just ordered some extra PVC material to replace the door panel fabric. This is turning into a bigger project it seems.

Added two additional stock power outlets with covers and took a drill to my interior this weekend. I now have an outlet behind the front seats, coming out of the back of the center console, and another underneath the hand hole for the fuse box cover. Looks like the car came with them.

Next up will be a head unit with built in mic and bluetooth for hands free calling/ streaming audio. Leaning towards the Pioneer 3600BHT, or whatever they call that one.

Been thinking about doing my panels too.

PVC may not work. I tried some vinyl and it would not go around some of the bends. I ended up getting some nice material from a friend of a Fit Freak here on line. I forget who.
