Nice pickup. Make sure to take extra special care with the paint, the sun loves to make red go pink over time. Granted you might not own the vehicle when that happens, but think of the next owner.

wanted red too, but was able to get silver cheaper, i noticed that you pull over your curb really far and it looks like you have to to get the door to clear when opening? i'd suggest not lowering it, and the mugen kit is definatly out of the question lol
looks good and welcom to the fam - ha ha
oh and i love the controls on the wheel too, everyone tries to tell me i wasted money getting a nav/sport i just say "i'll trade it in on whatever YOU want to make the payments on for me" lol that usually shut them up, and if they keep talking i just keep turning up the radio (on the steering wheel ofcoarse) till they get my point

Those poles look like they were installed as afterthoughts. Is it just me, or does that seem like a lot of weight being supported and applied to asphalt(?) through such small bases?

Its not asphalt, just cement. And to its credit... the thing made it through a hurricane, not sure how... but it did.

Congrats new Fit owners! Your cars look great. I can only imagine that you'll be happier with your Fits each passing day. I know I am with mine.
