IMO the slab sides of the Fit don't suit fender flares well.

But I generally dislike flares on anything that isn't a RunFree style AE86.

Pics? My plan is to get the leather MOMO auto shifter. They're getting scarce, though.

Why'd you sell this sexy beast??

It's his car man, criticisms are valid, subjection not so much.

Wagon, go for it. We need some more people to get out of the cookie cutter Fit mindset.

No pics yet, I will when it arrives. It is basically the stock shifter but it has red plastic instead of the black and has black leather with red stitching instead of blue.

Mr Hollow, a lot of Fits do look pretty similar. I just chalked it up to lack of aftermarket options really.

I still would really rather have a 16" wheel/meatier tire setup than what I have now. So my wheels are up for trade on honda-tech. But if anyone is interested let me know.

You have my support! I'm not too sure how "universal" fenders would look, but if the option is available, maybe some custom body work might be a solution too.

Nicely done, I installed the exact same steering wheel "glove" but with red stitch. I have a bit of movement in mine (can twist it a bit), other then that its great.

I think it looks pretty awesome as is. As for the flare there is a car on here with some universal flares that go from 8 o clock to about 3 & they look good. As long as the wheel isnt tucked too far in it works imo. Judging from your current & previous cars I think you have good taste & would go for it.

Well, today was eventful. The weather here in Raleigh has been pretty shitty the past few days and today was the worst of it. Unfortunately I hydroplaned off the road driving to a friend's house Car is ok. Will need a new front bumper, new fender lining, and the radiator is slightly bent but I think it's salvageable. It sucks to see my baby like this, but she'll be ok.

That sucks... at least you're ok and the car is fixable.
