Welcome to the forum and the Fit family. Great looking car and looks like you've done some nice modifications. Keep us posted on anything new!

Good choice of vehicle and welcome to the forum. If you find yoru economy isn't where you think it should be, take the fairing off the front of the yakima. if it's too loud, get some windjammers. that'll solve the sound & economy problem.

Second look at that Yakima setup and it is too far forward on the FIT. it should be back a good 8" if I remember the instructions right.

That's not a JDM emblem.

It is reserved for Hondas of the Type R variety.

On a non-Type R, it is mega lame.

Note, that's just my opinion on the mega lame part, I'm sure some will say otherwise.

i was going to poke fun at the roof rack, but if you actually use it, it gets the nod of approval.

I recommend lowering the car and getting some wheels as your next mods. Those two things drastically improve the aesthetic of a car....if done well.

That front bar does look really short however it's hard to see the positioning of a black Rack on a black car.

This is where it is supposed to be. MUCH further back.



See if you can find a set of bars on Craigslist. I'm sure they'll be all over. did you buy the Clips for the fit or are you using ones from your friend's car? If you didn't buy the Q99 clips, you might end up doing damage to the vehicle.
