Hi there everyone!
This is my first posting on this site and I'm glad this exists in the first place! But anyways back to my purpose. I recently bough a 2011 Honda Fit Sport ,automatic Celestial Blue, and I'd like some input on mods. Generally anything that would make my ride smoother or appearance nicer. Its all stock. Of course I know that each person has their own identity put into the car but I would like some ideas to get the ball rolling. I mainly want to know what mods are available for this specific fit's transmission and color. Any bits of info are welcome and personal testimonies would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Everything you can think of is available, but nothing is going to really make it ride any smoother than stock, except smaller wheels so you can fit tires with a larger sidewall.

 

swift springs. those are actually a better match to the stock dampers than the stock springs.

stock 09-11 GE was rode stiffer vs my 12 GE with swifts. also give the DWS06 a try. i run them on my new car and they are comfy yet not so rubbery like the original DWS.

 

A good place to start:

The only thing that would made the ride smoother (I like firm) was the Clazzio Leatherette/leather seat covers. Why? Because it has memory foam. I wasnt expecting a ride change. When you have a car with a live axle in rear, the ride will be firmer than an independent rear suspension. It's funny, when i ride in my moms 13' Civic EX-L/Navi, it feels like a Cadillac.

 

I would do legal window tint. Looks so much nicer.
First warm day I'm doing the front brakes with Hawk street pads.

 

15 inch wheels with "grand touring" type tires will go a long way it making the ride better.

 

+1 for less wheel and more tire. Others have mentioned seat covers, which can make a difference.

As for appearance, I think the 2012+ headlight design looks more modern. I believe they're directly compatible, but I'm new around here so I could be wrong.

Otherwise, just keep it really clean and enjoy the ride!

 

a bit pricey but bilstein b14

 

Getting new aftermarket wheels will definitely change the look of your car. If you're on a budget, ICW racing has some nice looking 15's. If you want to retain the good ride quality, consider the weight aside from the size of the wheels. Enkei has lightweight wheels.

 

So why buy a car that didnt match the ride you were looking for. should have gone domestic as they test drive their cars in Michigan whee the roads a awful and they soften the suspension for American lack to repair their roads and bridges.

 

I have a 2013..

I suggest some of the Oem accessories. Hondapartsnow.com had the cheapest prices and shipping for me.

I recently painted the rear diffuser, ordered the rear bumper applique, and chrome tip finisher ( i have a base model) and ordered the door visors..
