09 Honda Fit Sport

09 Honda Fit Sport
Just got an 09 fit sport black. Needless to say (but i will still) i love it.
I can get going pretty quick but then after that it takes time to get my speed up what can i add to make me go faster quicker. As you can tell by my lack of automotive terms im a bit new to the world of adding things to a car. i have always owned a rust bucket and now i finally got a good car that id like to make my own.
I would also like to add some exterior things, any suggestions?
What are some things i can do to keep my car from getting dusty? i live up in the desert and the inside and outside get covered with dust pretty quick.
Thanks in advance

Regarding your keeping your car clean, buy a quality car cover and a California duster. You have the most difficult color to keep clean. The duster should be used every time it's dusty and especially before putting the cover on it. The duster is used to gently lift the dust off by flicking the duster over the car. After dusting a good detailer spray and Micro fiber towels will help keep it clean between washing.

1) Do a search. Any available mods have been talked about a lot. Intake and exhaust are your best bet. IMO personally you have an eco box car, unless your putting major $ in the engine (or replacing the engine) your not going to have a fast car. Enjoy the good mpg and fun nimble handling this car provides.
2) Good luck with black. I had a 01 Acura CL-S before I bought the Fit. It was Night Hawk Black Pearl. It was the first and last time I will ever buy a black car. I would wash it and 5 minutes later it was dusty. The best thing I can say is keep a nice coat of wax or polish to keep the dust from sticking to the paint.
3) Exterior mods...since your in the desert I would recommend tint. I did 35% tint all around and love it. Makes the fish bowl look go away.
Good luck and enjoy the new car

I saw the california duster at the dealership while i was waiting, they wanted 25 bucks but i wasnt sure how well it worked. Ill go ahead and shop around on that item.
Im not looking to have a speed demon, but id like to have something can accelerate pretty quickly. Ill look into the suggested mods.
Any particular polish suggestions?
And, it came tinted (except the front 2 windows, like wtf?) but ill look into getting all tinted, thanks!
any is blacking out the lights illegal in ca?
Thanks for your input everyone

Do you have an automatic? If you haven't yet, throw it in sport mode and paddle shift.
Surprise awaits
Just be careful not to push it too hard if your new car has low mileage. But there's some zip to be unzipped in sport mode.

I have been skeptical about using them because i dont want to screw up and cause any damage, i have read the manual about the paddle shifters 2 times and tonight read 2 threads on it and think i can handle it, so ill try it out tomorrow.
