The tC is a great car! If I wasn't so pleased with the Fit I might have gotten one. And the A-pillar on the new tC looks so legit; it really gives the car an aggressive look.

What do you have done to it so far?

I just got my car back from my tint guy and I have my Mugen knob on already. I'm gonna try and get some pics this afternoon before the rain comes.

Not much... And not planning on doing much. The car is fast enough, handles well enough, and well featured enough as it is for the most part.

I ordered a set of Clazzios for it - like all low-end Japanese cars these days, the seat fabric is cheap and chintzy looking. I ordered black w/ black leather inserts, and red stitching. These are on the first-generation tC, but it should look similar: Clazzio seats at BeanGarage

I'll likely tint the windows after I leave Cali, but it's not a major deal here where the temp rarely gets above 75.

I also put some some striping down the lower half of the sides:




It looked really plain to me on the sides with nothing there, and I didn't want to do the old geezer pinstripe like dealerships used to put on cars.

I have been tempted by the civic SIs, even taken a few test drives, but have never made the jump.
I still have my 2006 Civic Si Coupe FG2 and just bought an auto 2011 GE8 sport, but far from a baller LOL

Nice trade!

And for those saying this or that, you guys have to understand people have different reasons for trading any car. Personally I traded my '07 S2000 in on my Fit. "But the S2000 has more aftermarket support and is way cooler and faster!!!! Why would you do this?!?!" Haha I've heard those responses from my local car buddies, but I'm gearing up for some changes in my life so I needed to save some money and I would like a car that is convenient. Not too mention that my other car is a 450 horsepower C5 Corvette, so in reality the S2000 was my slow car. (Corvette is for sale too BTW if any one is looking! )

All that said, I love my Fit and I don't consider the aftermarket support for it to be null. There are lots of options for all the basic bolt-ons and the with a few this car can really shine as a fuel efficient commuter and a cute lil apex carver. For what it is the Fit has fine aftermarket support.

Yup... All the features, support, and theoretical cargo and passenger volume numbers in the world don't mean a thing if you can't get comfortable.

Plus I've never had a car where I could cross my leg behind the wheel (not while driving, of course!).
