My dealer didn't presume and install the front plate holder, but rather, they included it in a bag with my manual, etc. SO glad they didn't drill into the front bumper.

Future plans... first order of business is to find a sunshade dash visor thing that will actually work. I have two and they're both too short.

First change I made was to buy a nice understated license plate holder for the back and get rid of the dealer one. Second was to get a cupholder mount for my smartphone which I use as a GPS. Considering replacing the horn. Man is that pathetic!

Yeah, I thought about the navigation stuff and blue tooth, but it seems like overkill if you can just get a phone mount for $20. And yeah, the horn is just embarassing, but I'm trying to get in the habit of using it less anyway, lol

This is the mount I got. Bounces a bit more than I like on some roads, but works nice. I have a larger smartphone and when I put it into a landscape orientation, it rests on the door and is nicely stable.

I almost got that one, but got a cheaper vent mount one instead, that I haven't even put in the car yet, lol

The best dash mount is the iOttie! Super sturdy and cost about 20$. I use it in conjunction with the Belkin CarAudio Bluetooth kit. Here's the thread: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/1st-...uggestion.html

Personally, I looove the taupe/beige seats in a blue fit. Ultimate swagness; reminds me of a BMW or Audi interior! I got all black clazzios because my car is Alabaster Silver. It looks and feels great!

If you want a JDM style plate just move one hole over and use a self-tapping screw to make a new one on the other side w/o the factory hole.

Congrats! We just did the opposite of you, we traded in our Fit for a new CRV.

I just flipped the dealers plate frame over, and now it just has 1/4" of black around the plate.

Do yourself and passengers a favor and get a real horn for the car.
The first wk. I had my Fit, some AH talking on a cell phone, cut me off. I don't think they even heard my "horn"

For $24 delivered I got a set of airhorns, which easily fit below the orig horn. Wired to the orig. horn, with a relay, a quick tap on the horn, isn't loud, but more than a tap, is very loud!
