Ok, so my wife wants to keep her 2007 fit sport. Its got 90k and I want to do some upgrades to keep her happy. What do you guys suggest. Its red with black housing lights and fogs, armrest, and she's getting tint in a month... looking for like creature comfort upgrades and maybe power upgrades.... All suggestions are welcome.

 

I would suggest replace the stock springs with swift lowering springs as well as the shocks. Maybe get some new rims and good tires. Install clazzio leather seats. Replace indoor lights with LEDs. Maybe install an anti-glare rearview mirror. And probably to make her feel that the car is in like new condition, detail it or get it done professionally. Probably upgrade her sound system?!? That's all i can think of for now.

 

Wheels, they completely change a car. Combine that with a good drop.

Power - a neat axleback or something might give you a little more oomph and some nice tones.

 

ETC is a great bang for the buck

 

Add a turbo. That is what puts a smile on my wife's face.

 

your wives are hardcore lol... as for me I would keep comfort in mind. Scrape the axleback, subwoofers. Too keep it aesthetically pleasant, eibach springs +koni shocks, decent rims, absolutely good tyres, yes agree with poohdinni get it detailed.. Inside comfort - armrest, tint. You can upgrade your audio - get amps to power speakers (Hertz?) for clarity & crispness (if this is even a word)

 

I like my zeta dead pedal on my manual car. If not, clazzios for sure! I git Black with red stitch. Maybe a nice shift knob? Leather or suede shift boot? The shift boot is a little work because it requires removing the console I believe. Some tasteful vinyl stickers can be nice. Also, a nice licence plate cover is a nice touch.

I like my Honda HFP muffler. It's nit too expensive and needs no modifying to put it on the car. If you use the rear seats folded flat a lot I recommend the Elemmat, a custom laser cut full rear mat. Got great service from that company.

 

What a weird coincidence, I just went down this path for the last couple weeks, while the wife is out of town! She is going to flip, I can't wait. Here's what I came up with, big and small, the biggest thing being the tires and wheels. She has the bare bones 07 model that came with the dinky 14" wheels which felt a bit scary over 70mph. So those were the first to go. It was a slippery slope from there.....

Pretty much everything from Amazon, Ebay, or Honda Parts World. I think to impress a non-car person, it comes down to appearance (as in clean-up) and "touch points", (steering wheel, shift knob) to make an impression. But also I tried to make it closely tailored to how she uses it, for instance, the CD organization was a huge thing (and the cheapest), and I eschewed the new stereo because most aftermarket ones are fussy and complicated to learn, simple is better. Good luck!

Also, much thanks to this great forum, which I have been lurking on for a few weeks here, looking for ideas.

 

Go a bit further and throw in some lowering springs if you can!

 

I am going to see how the 16s fit (so to speak), lowering is risky with the miserable conditions the NYC area roads in right now. I feel bad for these guys I see around with flush cars, they have to weave all over like an obstacle course!

 

Ah, yeah I see why you wouldn't lower. I'm spoiled with these west coast roads!

 

Oops sorry, the title got my attention... Wrong image... Never mind...
To answer the OP I guess it would depend on her preferences and driving habits. If it was me, I'd get a fancy vanity mirror for the driver side.
