First-time Fit owner seeking some advice on accessories, tint, etc.

Hi,

I will soon be purchasing a 2015 Fit (the first new car I’ve purchased in a very long time), and I’m already thinking about cosmetic accessories and such. This will the first car that I have ever that the chance to “personalize” in any meaningful way, and I joined this forum to find answers to questions I will no doubt have in the coming months.

If anyone out there is willing, would you please answer some of these questions so that I can avoid making mistakes early on? (Please forgive my ignorance; until now I’ve never had the money to do much more than slap on some pinstripes or spray paint the steel factory wheels. :-/ )

Okay, off the top of my head:
- Which brands of mid- or upper-priced rims should I check out (or avoid)?
- If you tinted your windows with hybrid or ceramic film, why did you select the type that you did and what was the approximate cost?
- If you had your Fit soundproofed at all, please briefly describe what you had done and the brand of materials, if possible.
- Which website(s) do you use to find basic accessories, such as well-fitting seat covers, light covers, etc.?
- Which accessories websites should I avoid?
- If you have more than a basic back cargo area liner or tray, where did you find it?


I’m sure I have a million other questions, but they aren’t coming to mind right now (figures!).

I greatly appreciate any insight, suggestions or ideas that you have to offer!


Thanks in advance!!

Just a thought you may want to use the search window as there are many articles covering your millions of questions.

Welcome and enjoy!

another thought is, this is a cheap car. dont spend too much extra money on it.


enjoy the car the way it is. do only minor mods.

Exactly...can't see spending much more on a rapidly depreciating asset. Can't see owning a $23000.00 FIT! you will never see that $$$ again.
