have you tried mounting it right over the top left AC vent?
There is a flat spot of plastic there. I have my cell phone mount there.
To clarify, that would be the suction cup would be facing DOWN (not on the windshield)

 

What is this? Something lighter than stock?

 

Will check that in the am. Thanks for the idea.

 

If you mount it there, where would be the best place to run/hide a hard wire through? I like the idea of running a wire under the headliner, but also prefer mounting a device right there above the radio.

 

sorry wasnt very clear, I meant all the way on the left side, near the flip open cup holder. Wasn't aware you would want it in the middle of the windshield... (illegal in California to have anything there).

On the far left side its a very simple matter to hardwire.
For a radar detector or dashcam, I think high up near the mirror is the way to go.

 

Oh I thought you're talking about the flat surface above the radio. So in CA, anything near the middle of the windshield is illegal even if mounted on the dash and not the actual windshield ? If so, I did not know that. I usually don't like mounting things near the side window for instances where I drive over a bump or pot hole, have my window all the way down, and have the worst of luck watching my phone or whatever is mounted fly out of the mount and out of the window

 

Yay CA, land of CARB, fires, earthquakes, and 16 lane freeways.

DRLs deactivated, LX grill installed

HIDs on with LX grill

Starting to get to where I see it in my mind.

 

That grill and the rear black trim for the tail gate has to be the easiest body mods to do. Why Honda wanted chrome accents here and there is beyond me. In the end its still a Fit.

BTW, how's the cutoffs on those HIDs? Any night time shots ? I can't seem to get decent projections out of them despite adjusting my beam, and I'm starting to wonder if its just the bulbs. For now I went back to my existing halogen osrams just cuz the projection is far better.

 

New Shoes: Kosei K1 TS 14" (Wheel/Tire 25.2lbs, stock whee/tire was 33.6lbs)


Homemade Intake:


Lighter Battery (See bottom of pic, will tie-down. Weighs 2.5lbs, stock 22.6lbs)


Removed rear seats (Weight loss):


Removed spare tire (weight loss)



Average mpg on the highway has went up from 40-41mpg to 47-48mpg.

 

Looks like your Fit is itching for the upgraded EX front grill and rear hatch garnish......

 

How does the wheel diameter compare to the stock tire/wheel combination?

 

Garmin installed. Hard wired power source.

 

I have a just got my new 2015 LX first mod was tinting I put 5% in the back and legal on my door and passenger and crystalline on the front windshield. Can I put some factory fog lights on my LX?

 

Yes the car is premiered for fogs. You will need the factory accessory kit which includes new headlight stalk...

 

As far as the ride, I'm not really noticing a difference. The mph gauge is reading 4.2% faster according to miata.com tire calculator. No change in ride though really.

 

This also means you are putting 4.2% more miles on your vehicle odometer.
Over 30,000 miles that is 1260 miles that you didn't actually drive.
Which puts you that much faster out of warranty
and depreciates the value of your vehicle faster (nobody will believe you or care about smaller tires)
It will also potentially raise your insurance as it bumps up the number of miles you are driving (or not driving...?)

 

I agree the understated look is far superior in my eyes.

As far as the HIDs go I haven't done any real night driving yet. With my foot in a cast all I've been doing is work n home...

 

LED bulbs soon to go in.

 

LED license plate lights look WAY better. Should have came that way.
Same with the interior. Would have liked those ambient overhead lights though, I am tinkering around with retrofitting those to the interior, it is so dark in the car at night.
