So you want something on the soft side? What's your budget?

If you're just daily driving your GD3, then lowering springs will do just fine. Tanabe springs are pretty good. Which one, that is up to you.

nothing new on my Fit except the broadway mirror i just put in.. i'm pretty sure i gained like 10hp but lost torque

next on my list:
• GSR blades, 99 SI wheels, Fat-5's, or civic hx's... whatever comes my way
• amber sidemarkers... anyone know who can install these? (i kid, i kid)
• honda fit tuner spoon style, duckbill spoiler - non carbon fiber. going to see if my friend could fab it up so that it can mount into the stock spoiler mounts
•*spoon or any type of shorty antenna
•*honda fit tuner mugen style trunk deck garnish
then i'm done with the exterior
• replace all the interior lights with LED's
•*maybe line the foot wells and center console with LED's? not sure yet..
