Cool How to make my Blue Raspberry less girly.

Okay, first off, I only think the base looks girly in this color. When I bought this car, there were very few colors I liked for the Fit Base- Milano Red, Taffeta White, and the Blue Raspberry. The dealer didn't have the other two, so I got the Blue Raspberry. And they had no sports to make matters worse. And on top of that I was in a hurry and the idea that the base was a bit better on gas seemed like an alright sacrifice. Well I can't trade now, and since I had this car financed I probably will be stuck with it until it's payed off, but that's okay because I like it, and plan on keeping it, period. But I can't help but grin myself, as the girl who works in the shoe department always makes a joke as I drive off from work, same joke too- "There's his jolly rancher car" And she says that as she's leaves on a skateboard. So far, all I have done to this car is put some velour coverkings on the seats and in 3 days I'm getting the OEM armrest installed, thank god. But that's it so far. I plan on tinting it and tinting the tail lights, and way later on after I move out of my folks house getting all kinds of other things done to it. But I always wonder if there was something cheap I could do to get this thing looking a little less feminine, normally I don't care what others think, but even I agree this car needs something. I wonder if anyone else struggles or if there are any other males that bought this car and deal with the same thing, feel free to say whatever.

Grow a pair?

If that isn't an option, wheels, lip, lowering, etc.

It's well known girls are attracted to effeminate guys. Revel in your girliness and ask skate-board-girl if she'd like to go for a ride.

I almost picked Blue Raspberry because it was "wild" and different. And chickened out at the last minute and got Blue Vortex instead. I don't regret it. I didn't want to be the late-20s single guy driving a car that could start rumors. lol

I'd say tint the windows, add some sweet white tuner wheels:



Add some VTEC stickers and maybe JDM tail lights. Chrome tip the exhaust.



Make the car look seriously modded out and nobody will question your gender at a stop light.

Next time she mentions Jolly Rancher, tell her you have a Jolly Rancher she can devour and she can do so as you give her a ride home in your Jolly Rancher.

Wow this thread really accumulated like crazy! Yeah I think the tint, exhaust tip, and white rims would help, that's what I'm shooting for. You guys are too funny! I may do all of the above. BTW guys, she's HOT!

next time she makes the joke, ask if she wants to throw her skate board in the back and go for a ride in the jolly rancher

Dammit, everyone beat me to the tasting Jolly Rancher jokes. I feel girly enough that my Fit is an AT, I can't imagine how you feel lol. But really, I think that color is sick and I second the white wheels.
