Recommended Mods

What mods do y’all recommend for the Fit? So far, I have had remote start added and added a layer of foam to the trunk cover (it isn’t pretty but it does seem to help with road noise a bit). I’m thinking about replacing the headlight bulbs with Sylvania Superbright Ultra bulbs. Are there any other mods y’all recommend?

My favorite "mod," although aesthetic only, was buying a rattle can of black PlastiDip and removing/spraying the stupid useless red plastic "sidebars" on the sides of the hatch - they neither reflect nor light, serve no purpose and looked ugly, at least on my black GK. I agree with GrE8 above, the Progress RSB was worth it to me, can feel the difference, not to mention super easy install

I have the acuity shifter bushing and weighted shifter knob. Didn't do much. For a good shift replace clutch master cylinder with 2001-2005 civic clutch master.

Acuity Pedal Spacer. Doesn't make the car that enjoyable as there is rev hang that makes downshifting not that engaging you have to wait for revs to drop.

The best mod are:

Hassport solid rear engine mount for traction get the street edition.

Ultra racing rear swar bar or Progress rear sway bar.

Kouki rod rear brace makes the car more sure footed.

Don't get me wrong. The shift feel is solid when the damn Master cylinder does it's job properly. When the delay valve act up feels like grinding marbles. I feel like this is a safety hazard.To delay the fluid in the clutch system. You can miss gears if you shift too fast etc. Like if i shift from 1st to 2nd gear. That damn delay valve causing a delay. I slot the cog to 2nd. It sometimes reluctant to go in.BTW how is your coilovers? What brand Tein or BC?

Naw, I went with the HFP setup from Honda in the US.
Overall, I'm still really happy with them. Perfect compromise for a "city" car that's used for groceries.
Combined with the 15 inch wheels, I'm pretty happy with the amount of cushioning on the pot hole filled streets.

Nice.HFP U.S. don't ship to Australia unfortunately and would properly cost and arm a leg to get it. I have the clutch pro em2 master cylinder lock and loaded ready to go in. But scared to drill the firewall.

1) LED lights anywhere you can ie: headlights, fog lights and interior.
2) Back pillar lights (pic) I want people seeing me
3) Showing my age here but,

a President Bill CB radio with New Virginia antenna. Radio will give you info from truckers that Waze/Goggle maps won't and the antenna looks almost like the regular stock am/fm antenna
