Hey guys and gals just wanted to share a few pictures i took of my new fit. Loving it so far.









Only future plans are, all weather floor mats, and cargo tray/cover. Ambient lighting kit, and a fa5, or s2000 shift knob.

 

The Fit looks great in this color! Congratulations on the new purchase!

 

Modern Steel really compliments the interior color. I also like the contrast between the rear tail lights and the darker grey. Nice car!

 

that was my first choice as far as colors go, but i could not find one. looks great!

i see you are upstate. figure out your snow tires yet?

 

I’ve been using bfg winter salaams on our civic sedan. They have worked quite nice. But i’ll probably get the winter wheel/tire combo from the dealer. And throw some lx hubcaps on it.

 

Nice looking Fit. You might want to check with Tire rack on a wheel & tire package. They may be a better value than a set from the dealer. We run Blizzak's on our winter drivers, excellent winter tires.

 

That's exactly what I did:



Mounted, balanced and shipped, the total was a touch over $700. I went with Firestone Winterforce tires (185/60R15) and 15x6 Sport Tuning T9 wheels.

Nice looking winter wheels.

 

Still need to let them grow on me before I make the move to get a 2015 from my 2013.

Did I just see manual and navigation in there?

 

i want at least my steelies to come from honda. Aftermarket alloys will still pit and corrode causing air leaks, thats why i want the steel wheels. The parts/service manager at my local dealer is a friend actually. So getting a good price shouldn’t be hard at all. Thanks for the suggestion though.

 

No thats just the standard touch screen infotainment system as they call it. Navs only come in the ex-l. Its the same hardware just different software.

 

I have 14" Integra wheels for my winter tyres. I like that they are relatively lightweight and look nice. They are beat up but I repainted them. It might be worth checking kijiji.

Rather than get honda all season matts, I would go a little farther and get weather tech matts. They are better if you live in a snowy area.

 

If u tint the Windows it will make a big difference I just tinted my modern steel and it made a big difference but it looks good still with the bubble look

 

Ny state is a tough one for window tint. Its not worth the police harassment lol.

 

She is a beauty! I have the exact same color! Love it.

 

My "summer" wheels (16x7 +40 with 205/50R16 tires) arrived Thursday and my shop mounted them yesterday. Very happy with the look on my MSM EX. I'll probably add 10-15mm spacers to the rear wheels, but the fronts are about perfect to my eye. No interference issues at this point…

I chose the MSM color because it helps tone down the style lines in the sheet metal to the point where they blend with the form of the car rather than screaming at you. I got wheels with a machined lip as that makes them appear larger in the wheel wells without overwhelming the form of the car like I feel the OEM cast wheels do.

I was considering lowering the car a bit, but probably won't at this point - our roads are pretty awful (Illinois), and the wheel offset really helps them visually fill out the wheel wells, which would have been my main goal in lowering.

I still need to swap my front grille for the LX (non-chrome-strip) version, and do the cabin light upgrade (parts sitting right here on my desk). A rear sway bar is probably the only other mod left on my list. For now.

Here is my Modern Steel with dealer fitted tint. Sad that your state doesn't see the value of tinting. It is an essential here in Aus to help the air con run more efficiently and reduce UV and not just in summer, in Brisbane we can need the AC right through winter if you leave the car parked in the sun.

I like your choice of wheels, I am keeping the steelies until the tyres need to be replaced then will move up to a wider rim/tyre combo.

I thought having one piece of chrome on the car didn't look right either but instead of replacing the grille, I used it as an excuse to spray wrap it with some dupli-color and can change it up from time to time. Back masking the grille was a bit fiddly but was a quick and cheap way to delete the chrome.

 

I’m using the stock ex wheels on mine. The post above you was someone jacking my thread.

 

if i was to get a GK, it would be this color!

 

Yea i love the color. Looks great night or day.
