Haha...the Pontiac nor the Mazda was home at the time of the shoot ;-)

I'm hoping by this time next year there will be another Honda (or maybe an Acura) in the driveway.

You got it right

Mines boring to me now. Wish I had the money to do all the things I've been wanting to do lately.

Thinking about getting new wheels in the spring...

Rota Slips...either white with polished lip or gunmetal with polished lip.
With so much black on the car, I'm thinking the white might not look right.

I am still going to get my rear diffuser painted black, so I dunno.
Clazzios and door panels are next.

A black diffuser would look great... My car is SSM with Black Enkei RPF1s and it is a bit much even with the very dark tint and vent visors... White wheels wouldn't have worked at all but silver would have been nice..... White wheels may look good on your car..... My son had an 1989 VW Karman Cabriolet that was all white and it was beautiful.

Thanks coyote...

I am for sure going to get the diffuser done, it's one of my must haves.

That will probably come with my tax return.

Then, I'll be getting some more money from an odd job I've been doing--and that will pay for my springs.

I'm hoping my parents will chip in on the clazzios, and then I'll also be putting in to get the door panels done (no idea what fabric yet).

I'm excited about her progress and looking forward to the future. I still look at her and just smile and smile.

It all sounds great... You might want to consider coil overs with adjustment for dampening and hight that you can dial in for your driving style, comfort, and drop if you ever want to take it to a meet and show off a bit.... They are costly but allow you to get exactly what you want as far as suspension goes.

Thanks so much TOOL! :-)

I am hoping that this thread will be updated after Christmas with a few new pictures! ;-)...especially since most of what I asked for was Fit related!

Thank you JDM---

To answer your question---So far just the mods are JDM Base Tails, Cargo Cover, Cargo Liner/Tray, OEM mats, Honda First Aid Kit (lol), HKS Hi Power Exhaust, window tint, Fog Protection Film, DIY Protection Grille, Protection ninja (ceramic bobblehead), Passenger cupholder Domo and loads and loads of smiles! (have also ordered some various decals--pics when they arrive)

For Christmas I asked for quite a few Fit things like...
Shift knob, C-Pillar Bar, GPS, Red H's, $$ for Clazzios (black/black/black)

We'll see how that goes and then in the future will be...
Painted rear diffuser (black), Painted or Base Model Headlights, Springs (either SWIFT or Progress...very slight drop), some chassis under bracing, door panel fabric, Rims, T1R intake, Grounding kit, extra power outlet for passengers, OEM Armrest...hmm that's all I can think of right now.

We'll see...we'll see....

Yea, Yea, Yea!! LOL!

Well, I made the right choice and got what I wanted and for a pretty good deal!

She will keep becoming beautiful--the younger sister of my former EP, Stevie.
Here's to her serving me well (toast)!

Let me know how you like those clazzios. I've been thinking about getting all black ones too.
