Question What accessories are must have for 13 Fit Sports?

Hi all,
I am about to get 2013 fit sports in Black most likely
It will come with window etch, side strip and door rubber strip.

What other accessories are must have ?

I am thinking of getting rubber all weather mats and trunk mat, tinting rear windows, rear bumper appliqué and getting after market remote start.

Not sure of getting all accessories at dealer but may be online or discount stores.

Any suggestions?

Floor mats for sure, if the dealer doesn't throw some in. The "carpet" that the Fits have is definitely cheap. Honda all-weather mats are OK, but not exceptional—they fit nicely enough, but at least mine are wearing faster than I might have expected. The driver's mat looks quite used (but still functional) after only two years/45K miles. I think I've seen here that the weathertech mats are nicer.

A sunshade for the windshield is highly recommended. Spring for one of the various custom-fit versions; the Fit windshield is rather oddly proportioned, and most of the universal ones don't really fit it very well. Tint is probably worth doing at the start, too, and a cargo cover/shelf if you care about having such a thing.

I might generally suggest holding off on most other things if you're uncertain about them; they're easy enough to add afterwards at any time if you find you want them.

If you like leather/pleather seats, the Clazzio seat covers are by all accounts excellent.

+1 on the cargo cover/shelf. It's a must-have in my opinion. Reduces the risk of your car getting prowled. You can find it on Amazon for way less than what a dealer or Honda might charge you.

High quality rubber mats are the only must have. Check out Aries if you want top of the line.

Get fog light film to protect the fog light glass. I also had side moldings put on mine, after I had a nasty ding on my door. Btw, if you ever clean your gauge cluster/plastic screen, use microfiber towel (some had luck using no water) or a air pressure blower. It can get scratched up really easily.

I would agree with the above and say all weather floor mats are a must. The only added option I got were side sill garnishes, they look sharp and keep scuffs out of the door sills. I considered the rear bumper protector, but will have some clear 3M film installed instead.

Headlight Armor sells them. They're on the marketplace part of this site. I had to cut mine to size, before installing it. Wish Lamin-X was still selling them as that's what I had on my previous car. I hope that helps!

I would get some all weather floor mats, although as someone else mentioned, they do seem to wear fast. I would consider some aftermarket ones.
