My best man in my wedding has a stock '11 Fit sport MT, and I'd like to get him something other than the usual knife/flask/watch thing for a groomsman gift. Is there something that's seriously lacking from that factory that a fit needs? I've thought of a couple ideas that maybe worthwhile for around $300.

F/R swaybars (I don't know what brand is good for these cars)

Lowering springs? (may not be a good idea without upgraded dampers)

Cool interior trinkets? Anything Mugen/JDM yo that's especially cool?

Any help would be amazing guys, thanks in advance.

 

Here you go:

Clazzio Seat Covers Thread

They are $270 shipped for the PVC covers.

Most of us order them from Bean Garage.

Custom orders take 8-10 weeks to ship, but ask what they have in stock, it will get to you much quicker.

 

Hmm.

Swift springs work well with stock dampers and give a drop that won't hamper his ability to drive normally, and are also comfortable.

An axleback exhaust is cool looking and can sound nice.

Progress makes a nice rear sway bar.

Hope this helps.

 

My vote would be either a center console armrest:
Honda Fit Accessories - Genuine 2009-2012 Honda Fit Interior Accessories

Or Clazzio PVC seat covers:
Honda Fit - Honda Fit 09+ - Honda Fit Clazzio Seat Covers - Bean Garage

A subwoofer might be nice as well:
Bazooka BTA850FH 50-watt powered 8" Bass Tubes enclosure® with included factory radio connection kit at Crutchfield.com

All of the above are on my wish list !

 

Clazzio seat covers or Swift springs.... you can't go wrong with either, depending on what you think your best man would enjoy more.

 

Need more info about best man to give good suggestions. Age? Married? Kids? What's he planning on doing with the Fit?

My best man got me Tien S-Techs for my wedding gift, was a nice suprise.

 

This would be a cool little gift "basket/bundle"

OEM Honda door visors, Cusco Front Lower Bar Ver. 1, Spoon duracon shift knob, Spoon Hydro-Blue mirror, Spoon Radiator cap, and Spoon reservoir sock

or you could get him just the Swift Springs

 

I second this.

 

25/Not yet/No. He is a car guy too, so he can install any of this stuff himself. Is there any intake worth getting? I've seen the Typhoon system, but according to my limited research, they're not really worth it.

Thanks for all of the suggestions guys, keep em coming!

 

a nice tint job for privacy and keeping the car cooler

 

i agree with center console armrest

 

Clazzio seat covers, the stock fit fabric is not only terrible its hard to keep clean and ugly. Even if you just get the PvC/PvC black/black/black it is an AMAZING upgrade and change for the better. They are very very nice, comfortable and just add so much to the car.

 

Mugen short shifter + shift knob. No warranty issues.

I'd be juiced anyway if I got that.

 

spoon sports goodies would be nice.

 

i would second the tinting; or a cool gps and mount (even if he has a smart phone). I suppose this depends on if he travels about.
i still use my 5year old gps, even though i have a smart phone, it's a bit more solid on long trips. You get a lot of GPS for not too much money these days...

 

^This. Springs would be the best I think, they improve both form and function. Just make sure it won't incur him extra cost to get them on, you could even help him with the install and make a few hours of fun out of it lol. As long as you don't drop an axle. As others will tell you, then it becomes very not fun.

 

The center arm rest is really nice if he doesn't have one.

 

2011 sport already came w/ center armrest

 

On the seat, yes. There is a nice center console one available.

 

A fine pocket knife for $300 would be my choice.
