Installed cheap seat covers

My seats were getting killed. Got these at Auto Zone until I can afford some customs next month. These are so cheap they come ONE per package !? I had to run back to the store to get the other one

What's happening with your seats? I have an issue where the velcro on my board shorts is pulling up the fabric (Florida).

My issue was food stains.

I like to spray the seats with Scotchguard and then cover them. I got covers that are made from neoprene - like scuba suit material.

I got the quilted Clazzios. Stupid expensive, but they are awesome. Worth the investment in my case.

Does it make them more comfortable?

I'm still torn as to what brand I'll get. I've seen your Clazzios and they are mad sweet.

We got my wife's fit about a month ago now and finally I've added some items and made my ever increasing list of things to get! It's fun having one of these again! Anyway, we recently added Weathertech mats front and rear, full LED swap for the interior lights including upgraded cargo light, Heatshield sun blocker, and this neat JDM phone holder thanks to Action Jackson! Looking forward to more mods soon!




works great! next step is to reroute a usb power here for short charger cables!




The day we got it!

That's what I did here. It's a USB outlet with voltage readout, for a Toyota. I had to wrap it in electrical tape to fit into the Fit's opening.

Clever idea. I added two fuse holders - six fuses each. One is powered directly by the battery so it's always live, and the other one is connected to the Fit's under-dash fuse panel, so it's switch on and off. I added three 12v outlets, under-dash LEDs, and power for GPS and dashcam. I used that space where you put the USB for three lighted switches. I replaced the push button with another toggle switch.There isn't much room under the dash - not an easy place to work.

Great ideas guys! I was planning on just tapping the underdash fuse box and extending power to a standard usb and just using my dremel and some modelling skills to get it to sit in there. I really like that piece with the volt readout though!

Nice. By coincidence I've just ordered a piece which looks exactly like yours

Today, traded in my Odyssey van and bought my white GK Fit a new friend... a 2009 storm silver metallic GE Sport with a 5 speed manual in excellent condition.

Fun having two generations to compare and contrast, this should be fun! I guess I'll be reading more GE forums now.

Since I don't have a push button start. I used the space for this USB/Voltage/Temp item. The USB port is on top:

Drove Loki-chan to a distinguished friend's funeral today. Church lot was filled to capacity and streets were lined with cars. No place to park until I located a small spot where only I could Fit.

The wheels are 17x7 43 offset, tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 3+ 205/45/17 and I am not running spacers. I have taken them off because I am having rubbing issues up front, and I took a 10 mpg hit with the wider wheels. I am going to be running stock rims with 25mm spacers on the rear.

I don't think the MPG hit is from wider tires, it's probably from larger diameter rims that are likely heavier than stock.

I'm running 205/50/16 on stock rims and no drastic MPG difference. In fact filled up last night and got about 43 MPG.
