I got mine at Napa, $120 in 2018 - standard battery. An interior light was on for a couple of days, and that killed the battery.

AutoZone's Durablast ran me about $200 with tax. Reading about their batteries though did make the price worth it to me. They installed it, too.

Ordered myself a Progress rear sway bar in preparation for when autocross season begins.

I also want to eventually get myself the HFP spoiler, although I'd have to get it painted since it was only officially offered for 18+ models, meaning it doesn't have the right colors for my 15.

Finished product looks awesome

Fit cluster with hrv faceplate on it

Hrv cluster with fit faceplate and "glass"
Do you have the part # for the CR-V cluster?
Thanks in advance!

Painted the under side of the spare tire well today. It had a brownish color from the factory and looks terrible with my black paint.
You could see this large brown bulge under the car from behind. Bothered me so much that I painted it. Rattle can job Turned out nicely. Don't mind the runs.



primer

paint

Very nice.

I have some rust spots under the front of my Fit. I'll take care of them in the spring.

I'll have to get some pics and maybe a video when it happens, but I ordered a set of braided stainless steel brake and clutch hoses in preparation for my upcoming 2 year brake flush. I'm also gonna get some high performance DOT 4 brake fluid to replace the old stuff with.

And the sway bar really does tighten everything up nicely. The car feels way better in corners and we've been getting a lot of strong winds lately. I was already used to crosswinds, but I don't feel them as much with it in.

One negative I've had recently though is that my head unit shat the bed on me (stock LX unit). The display works, but it won't output any audio whatsoever. I got a used one on eBay for $120 (good thing the LX units are cheap secondhand) and it should be here in a day or 2.

Bought it recently






Bought it about a month ago. Came from an a Scion XD that drove way bigger than what it was. The 6 speed is amazing and the motor is pretty rev happy.

Long term goal is something like this, except gold wheels and an inch or two lower

Very nice. Newer Fits are going to be hard to find.
