My new 2018 Honda Fit Sport "Orange Fury"



Hey guys! Just got my new Fit! Got a great deal on it! I'm super happy with hit.

Besides the HFP parts that will be installed shortly, I'm going to be keeping it mostly stock for now. The wifey and I are trying to be pretty aggressive paying it off.

HFP parts that are coming are the titanium shift knob, the HFP red floor mats and the suspension upgrades. Should lower the car almost half an inch and stiffen things up a big.

Hoping for some power upgrades down the line. I'm coming from a 05 Accord Coupe with a 6 speed MT and a v6. It was quite a bit peppier than the Fit.

Anyway, just wanted to join the FF community and check out everyone's Fit.

More pics to come soon!

Congrats! I'm waiting on the same car. I did the sport pedals and titanium shift knob as well. I want the suspension but haven't heard any details about cost or availability yet.

I thought the "Sport" came with the HFP upgraded suspension?

You are going to like it even better when you flip it around the right way.

Seriously...enjoy.

Haha I tried to flip the pictures twice and they kept loading upside down! I'll try again later.

Nope, the HFP is an add on. The dealer I went to is the only one that wasn't going to charge me for labor to install. Also had the best warranty and gave the most for my trade-in.

I'll let you know how it feels once I get mine installed. Still wondering how long it will take for it all to come in.

I was told the dealer tinted this one as soon as it got to the lot. They didn't charge me for it, though. Was part of the good deal I got.

That's even better. Does this model have the sway bar or is that still not included in 2018? If it doesn't have it, a Progress Rear Sway Bar (RSB) should be your first mod since you already have tint.

No rear sway bar on the stock one. I'll look into the Progress one. Have you had good experiences with it?

I'm really interested in getting some wheels spacers. In my limited research, it sounds like 25mm spacers might be the sweet spot.
