I actually had that on my accord for the longest time. Bought from a friend for $300 I think? they are super expensive new. No idea how old it is but its still works! Might as well use it!

Nice ride! (well, you are in a Honda Fit forum after all...).

I am seeing you upgraded the front grill. If you have the time, could you please post a picture from the front? Thanks!

Well, I vowed to stay away from these forums but have to welcome a fellow DFW-ite. I'm approaching 500 mph/2 weeks on my Aegean Blue EX-CVT. This is my 3rd Fit and if this were not a new generation, we probably would already have our 4th. Wife is old school and not to keen on this version, but I purposely drank too much at dinner last night and forced her to drive. She didn't complain that much.

So far so good. Went with a pretty heavy tint on mine and while I need to get used to the dark rear view at night, I think it is going to help on the hot drives to San Antonio and back.

Going to be looking for a rear mounted bike rack mount to add to mine in the near future, so can't stay away from this forum for too long.

By the way, your color was my first choice but the blue came available.

I have yet to see another 2015 in Lake Highlands/Dallas area but have eyes peeled.

Nice finally someone else went with the modulo grill, this alone I feel really changes the front end to a more aggressive look & will be a must for me.

Thanks for the frontal pics! The Fit with that grill looks "angry", while with the std grill looks "happy".

When I saw the Fit first time, I did not like the grill, and it thought the replacement would look better. After seeing the car so many times, I am not sure now which one I prefer. That's a nice problem to think about!

One thing I will warn you of that I didnt know when getting it is that it is flat black, and the line going across is sliver. not chrome. i like shiny things so i was a little bit disappointed switching from the factory grille that was really shiny to this flat black sport grille.

Also, sorry if this ruins it for you....but i cant help but look at this and feel like its a handlebar mustache......
