2012 Fit vs Fit Sport (which do u recommend)
#61
original bulbs dont give much light especially if you have a base without map lights. i replaced with leds in my sport along with my parents base. i ordered them off ebay check silvania website for size of bulbs. i bought my sport as a set with all the interior bulbs $18.75. with my parents since it doesn't have map lights. i just looked up the size. it was $4.99 for the dome it came with two bulbs and $1.75 for the cargo area came with 2 bulbs. even with led upgrade still didnt do much for the trunk they should have put bulbs on both sides. still beter then the original yellow bulb.

Dome and map light same bulb so you will need 3 of DE3175 trunk is 168. I saw a YouTube video that showed the steps to change the bulbs. It's not hard the bulbs only work one way if It does not light up on first try flip it around. Ebay search bulbs by number 168 led bulbs. It's really easy hope this helps a lot of people.

Nice thanks for adding my name on there. The fit led third brake light. Is a easy diy. It was like $17 off ebay. It's cool when you see the people behind you reaction to it. I think I'm the only one with it in my area. There is a forum where a guy posted pictures of the steps. I'm not to handy with this stuff. Awesome feeling of accomplishment when done by yourself.

The extra money for the sport is better value IMO, the base model ones just looks wierd without the sport body kit, just looks like a egg. Plus the sport comes with a slightly better upholstery and some nice touches like chrome accent trims on the interior, paddle shifts, leather steering wheel, alloy wheels, etc.

not sure if you got it yet..but i recently just bought a 2013 base MT. Switching out for an after market body kit, cost me about 400 dollars for the full kit. sand fill and paint and install took me about 100 dollars + a week worth of casual labor. I got the mugen style body kit and i think it looks better than the sport one. I haven't gotten a spoiler yet, but it cost about 200-250 for a carbon fiber one. Easy install. It's really up to you. If you want to upgrade your car visually, get the base. If not get the sport. There's little to none utility upgrades you get from sport
