Hi Everyone,

I have a 2009 Honda S2000 CR in Rio Yellow. I love the car, but my GF is making me sell it and pay off some debt before I can get my next toy. I'm being tyrannically forced into acting responsible. Anyways...

I'm getting a '10 Fit Sport with 5-speed manual in Silver Storm Metallic.

Here is the car I'm trading in on Saturday:

I'll post pictures of the new car as soon as I get it.

My question is THIS:.....

I still want a cool car, and the Fit rocks....but what should I do to immediately make it look a little better on a budget????

Thanks for all your help!

Tint maybe?

 

i am sorta like you. I had flashy cars in the past, and when i got the fit it was all about the stockness and maturity.


sooooo tint it and leave it i say as well.

 

^That is kind of where I'm heading. As a matter of principle, I won't ride bone stock, so I think I might do tint, some HID's, and maybe wheels and badges. That is all I have for it.

If I get really creative I will likely do coil overs...but I just don't have much of a drive to do any type of performance mod. The reason I'm ditching the SK2 is for economics/good gas mileage/etc, so there is no point.

 

Well you can do all sorts of mods that aren't necessarily for performance. Just to make it more unique. That's what I'm doing.

 

Slam that shit to the ground on some Buddy Club coilovers

 

See my sig. My car is modded but not heavily. I want to keep it practical.
Please please please..if you do HID's get proper projectors. Done right HID's rock!

 

I'll second the HID projectors!

 

Swift springs

 

^Swift springs? With my 08 Civic Si, it was Progress springs!

Do you buy HID projectors for a fit, or do you do retrofit like on a civic?

 

You retrofit the HID's. And i think theres some options of lowering springs for the GE. (Tein, Eibach, Tanabe, Dropzone, T1R, and probably more..)

 

I know your pain man! I sold my 2000 Black S2000 with a 2004 Conversion about two years ago. Still miss it & envy other S2000 drivers on the road, lol. Just remember the Fit is only a 5 speed, haha it took awhile after the tranistion.

 

let's see...

Swift Springs Sport Mach - $254.25
HKS Hi-Power Exhaust - $295.00
Tints - $160-$180

Total: $709.25 - $729.25

you should get over your S2K quite nicely along the road with that budget

 

can't believe anyone hasn't suggested it yet...how about a new girlfriend?

 

umm, he said he's on a budget.




tint, visors and HIDs would be my suggestions.

 

It's not an exterior flashy change, but the Clazzio seat covers improved the comfort of the interior more than I could have imagined.

 

Have you ever considered an automatic? I came from an S2000 myself to a fit. I just got tired of driving a manual. I think I have more fun driving the automatic version of the fit then a manual would be.

 

Now THATS Funny!!

 

It's got to be said. I don't think she's a keeper...

 

I will have to agree with these guys on the gf matter sorry ahhahaha

Now on a good point my wife says I can buy a NSX
