A mod that doesn't get enough attention?
 
The title says it all. Underrated? Over looked? Or maybe just too expensive? What are some Fit modifications that don't get talked about enough?

I'll start with the inspiration for this thread. Simple mod but kind of heavy on the pocket book.

T1R weighted titanium shift knob. Lowers the shift an inch or so but really improves the shift throws. It feels effortless to move through the gears and feels very solid overall. I've only had it a few days but it really has made my car feel more like a Lamborghini. :D

Most of my mods are minor and inexpensive, but so far this was worth the price.

i have a weighted shift knob on mine and it made a huge difference in shift feel. it actually feels like it goes into gear now.

the Fit has lots of glass and thin pillars - A wide angle rearview mirror really accentuates how awesome visibility is out the back.

I love mine. Best $8 I ever spent.

I've thought about this mod as it really improved my VW Gti. However, the sport comes with a rear sway bar, does the aftermarket ones improve upon that or are you coming from a base fit?

Not sure what is available for the GE8 in terms of rear sway bars, but the progress 22mm bar makes a great bit of difference in how the car feels and responds.

Rock guard in the lower grille - has saved my condenser on at least two occasions.

Over looked for sure is the weak, soft ass stock mounts holding the engine and tranny in place. Just go out and push your engine around by hand. If you are at all into driving your car hard versus parking it hard and looking for oohhs and aahhhs then these should be changed or at least fill your stockers.

this. fuck a strut bar/brace/shower curtain rod, get a rear swaybar

fitisno 06-12-2011 08:01 PM

the 11s come with them. might as well order a factory one or buy a used one from someone who upgrades

drumsauce 06-13-2011 11:31 AM

^^All sports come with them...And base for that matter as they are integrated. Adding a progress bar stiffens the rear even more. A must for rotating the rear of a FWD car.

Headlights bulbs -Oem's are of poor quality- Go with some Sylvania SilverStars, or at least but no more than 6k HID's:D
