From 350z to Fit!!

Well i finally got rid of my 350Z that i owned for around 4 years. I loved the car but was so over the 2 seater and no cargo area what so ever, it was just not practical for my needs. So im excited to say that im back in a Honda. Picked up a 2010 Fit sport in a manual around 3 weeks ago. Loving it so far. 23 bucks to fill up and is getting around 37mpg!! I work at Honda dealer and got a great deal so im even more excited! Any way here are a couple pics of my progress.

I work at a Honda dealer so i drove it home with the plastic still on it!! lol

The the next day i had all the windows tinted and threw on a couple Mugen goodies.

Then i picked up a new Yakima roof rack so i can get my bike around, and got some 17x7.5 40 offset Gramlights for a steal thru work. (they where on a car that was traded in. Not my ideal wheel but i like em for now. )

Only other things i plan to do are some T1R coil springs and the Mugen front lip and some Mugen window visors.(might do the Mugen rear also) Then some different wheels in the future and that's about it.(current wheels will be for sale soon if anyone is interested) Oh plus more roof rack goodies. Also i need to do a photo shoot with my bike mounted up!! haha. Anyways thanks for looking!!

I know the feeling too I went from a 390whp big turbo srt-4 to an 08 hond fit 5spd. The fit just makes more economic sense. Damn old age bahhh....

Thumbs up

Congrats on the ride and honestly, fwiw coming from someone you don't know, those rims look great on there, I wouldn't change em' out Are you going to get a Mugen rearview mirror cover? How about JDM front rear badges?

Have fun with that black paint
