2009 fit Looking for simple upgrade ideas

Just picked up a new to me 2009 fit with 66k miles on it. Got great deal. It was what I was Looking for. Efficient. Reliable. 5 speed. Hatch. 4 doors and roomy in front. Now I want to make it a little more sporty and add something. I already ordered an armrest. (Who would think armrests wouldnt come standard...) And gonna get some floor mats. I want at least axle back exhaust (not too loud bcuz I do alot of highway driving) and cold air intake to start. (Is there much difference with exhaust and intake to mpg or pick-up) But looking for simple upgrades. And ideas?

Picked it up the other day. Been looking online to try to find what I'm looking for. Came across this forum. Never really was into the forum deal but thought I may as well. People seem to love their fits. I am enjoying mine.

I'd say it depends on your budget and what you want to do with your Fit. If you're looking to customize it, race it, or daily-driver it ...The forum is full of folks who've done everything from swapping out OE tires to full motor swaps, body mods, etc.

Make it what you want it to be. And have fun!
