There isn't enough room under the hood to install a supercharger or turbo charger and most of the people that are doing anything with them are copying the VIP styling fad popularized by Japanese gangsters and pimps.....The GDs had been in production 6 years before9it was sold here and performance items were being developed and marketed before we ever saw one... It is kind of like how there was interest in performance parts for the 57 Chevy but the 58 model was more about spinner hubcaps, continental kits, chromed side pipes and torched springs.

im sure because its a new car. Its only been a lil over a year since the GE Fit came out. companies dont just take a week to design and build a part. + the # of Fit owners who wanna mod their Fits for speed are still very few. i think its kinda cool waiting to see what comes out for the GEs. I really wanna see what PasswordJDM will have for the GEs. As for now, im enjoying the smooth ride and its "stockness".

I would love to see a company develop a trouble free boost system for the GE owners that would like to have additional power.... The car is great to drive in its stock form but more power that is available throughout the power band combined with wheel, tire and suspension upgrades doesn't in any way compromise the other desirable traits that Fit owners love.

the GE already has intakes, catbacks, axlebacks, test pipes, springs, suspension bars, roll center adjusters, and coilovers ready for purchase; also, dampers (via t1-r) in the making. grounding/earthing kits and spark plugs are pretty much universal.. the only thing the GD has available that GE's don't are headers and turbo/supercharger kits.

Are there any better shocks available for the 09 Fit Sport?

Mine always seems to have a harsher ride as the outside temp drops.

Even with a space foam seat cushion my ancient @$$ kinda takes a beating in the winter.
