As for my secret power, it helps that my wife is absolutely CLUELESS when it comes to car's, so my skills aren't THAT good .

But the best advice I can give you: Ship.to.work.address!
HAHA! I thought of the whole "ship to work" thing a while back but since she works with me--I really can't get away with it! My other problem is that her step-father is a mechanic I go to to have some of the things installed. My brother's not always available.

I'm young, too, man! My problem is I live with her. She stares at me staring at my car everyday. She notice every single change that happens to my Fit. Credit card is out of the question, we're trying to get a house and any additional cc will just kill me--uh, by her.

Hello everyone,
This is my first actual car that I have bought on my own. I love the car very much, and it is so much fun to drive with.
I always have been a non-exterior kind of guy, so I would like to make my car go faster and have extreme handling. First I always like to change the stock intakes to an aftermarket, so I choose the T1R Carbon fiber intakes. It is very nice looking, nice sounds output, and add a very good amount of HP to the car. After the intakes of course piping and exhaust, I think I can settle with any aftermarket parts on this. With all that for a little but good amount of HP, I will then need better handling. So by adding struts bars and coilovers would be really nice. For handling parts I’m not too picky of the company either.

Those are the mods that I would like to do within this year.
Here are the current pictures of my car, taken by my good friends, Doug:

Hi, here is our '07 NHBP Honda Fit...

Story begins,... once upon a time me and my pregnant wife were shopping for a affordable, reliable and convenient family car. We called a couple of friends and asked around for the best car out there, and heard the usuall "go to Honda, Acura, Toyota...." And so we went ahead and visited car dealerships around town... little did my wife know my mind is set to buy a Acura TSX. A couple of days after, we visited a good friend of mine at CMS (Contemporary Motor Sports) sat down and asked him about purchasing a brand new car, fresh from Vegas he told me about this car Honda Fit/Jazz from the carshows at Sema... he showed us the Sport Fit and my wife saw it and said "this is the car"... in my head "bye bye TSX" so we got in test drove it and was surprised how spacious it was, 5 door hatch, seats were comfortable, 6 way spearkers, quick car not really fast but good enough, I was very impressed...

After a week of research about the cars we saw, thinking about our new role being parents, making ourselves financially comfortable for the coming years... We decided to buy the Honda Fit

Eight months after, this is what I did to the car....
Wife is not really happy at first with my mods, but its going to be her car in the future. She loves it now

Hopefully, to win this event would put one of the finishing touches for this Fit project... If not were happy to share our story and wish everbody "Good Luck!!!"





"baby on board"


still working on buying a TSX in the future wish me luck...

heres mine(56k youll just have to wait!)

Well lets see, I have had my fit for about a year and a half. I bought it to replace my old car that someone sideswiped me in(grr). It was a pain dealing with the dealer on the car but in the end it worked out and I have been very happy with the car.

So what do I use my Fit for? More like what don’t I use it for lol. This car is my daily commuter, baby hauler, grocery getter, plant and gardening hauler, road trip taking, fun little car. I use it for everything!!!

What would I like to improve? Well there are many things I would like to improve on the car. Im currently waiting on shipping prices for a gd3 front end from Indonesia that a friend of mine found. I would also like to put on some coilovers so I can lower it more. Id also like the j’s racing floor bar and rear strut bar. =) I think it would be fun to take the car to a track day as well. Improve upon my driving skills and learn the limits of my car.

What all have I done to it? Well the list is not as long as some of yalls but here are some of my mods I like most.

Inside: Mugen s1r bucket seats,Mugen room mirror cover, Mugen dc5 seat brackets,Mugen shift boot, Mugen brake boot,Mugen pedals,J’s racing rear c-pillar bar,Takata mph350r seatbelts(not used for daily),Arc Ti shift knob,Jdm hazard switch,Jdm sun visor,radio kit and alpine headunit(I want to change to a scosche radio kit and add a avic-d3)

Outside: Honda sport grill paint matched,Mugen visors,Spoon wing,Spoon antennae, Jdm brake lights,Z.speed tow hooks(fully functional),jdm Honda emblems and fit badge

Engine: T1r carbon intake, Mugen oil cap, Mugen radiator cap,Mugen strut bar,inmotion battery stay,paint matched engine cover(lots more to come I hope!)

Wheels& suspension: 17” Weds tc05,16” Spoon sw388,T1r springs,racing logic coilovers(still in development phase =/ ) spoon lug nuts

Misc stuff that’s always in the car: Mugen gas cap/ Fit bible from hyper rev/ mugen keychain/ Recaro baby seat(our most important mod lol)

I think that’s pretty much it. Heres a few recent pictures. Thanks for looking!!!

That's actually one of the things on my list. I think the black housing with black rims is pretty cool.

There's so much professional shots for this month's contest, I feel so small. My point-and-click digital can't compete!

Great shots, guys and gals!

I know the feeling. I thought some of my shots were pretty good, but what I've seen here is incredible.

First on race day!

I recently purchase a 2007 Honda Fit. It is my first brand new car. After a week of owning it, I put a T1R intake on it. I really like their products because of their great quality and they fit like OEM. Also, they are one of the only companies that backs their product 100%. My boyfriend drives a 2006 S2000 and which has a great amount of T1R products, including an exhaust. It makes his car sound like an exotic car. If that exhaust sounds that good on his car, I can not imagine how it would sound on my Fit. The exhaust system would add a unique aspect to my Fit that would separate me from everyone else.

Hello, my name is Duy.

I got the fit in feb 2007 and I love how there are different modes (cargo, tall, etc.) and its fuel efficiency!
The more I drive, the more I like the fit.

The Fit taught me...
-how to wash the car
-how and where to jack the car
-how to change tires
-installing mods
and the list continues..

The Fit let me...
-go snowboaring with 4 people and fit all the snowboard gear
-sleep using cargo mode
-go shopping and buy things without worrying if it fits or not
-go to the track and have fun
-fit a bicycle
and the list continues.


Here are the mods I have so far.

T1R Earthing System
T1R Voltage Stabilizer
T1R Ignition Booster
T1R B-Max Carbon Intake
Zeta Products Dead Pedal
Zeta Products Cargo Shade
Spoon Duracon Shiftknob
Megan Coilover
Mugen Ventilated Visor
Progress Tech Anti Sway-bar
JDM Newbie Sign

July 2007 Fit of the Month.

Well I guess I should give these contests another try. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. Well the FIT is my daily commuter car, but also my weekend tuner toy. The Gas mileage is great, but I would like to add some more power and electronics (ICE). So I guess the Pictures can tell more of the story. MY mods so far are:

Zeta Dead Pedal



Zeta Door Sills



New Pair of Shoes 17" Sport Max w/ Blue ring and centers





Now for the Future Mods :

I'd like to do a car puter set up running Vista maybe :


Would like some more power so I'd need better brakes like a rear disc conversion.


Definately some intake and the exhaust would help.


And lastly the Fit would make a great toy for the kiddies they love it.... My Daughter always finds Honda's on the Road and says look like dada's car. This one is for them :



And for all the Gas Eaters out there :



GOOD LUCK to all and Thanks to AJ's Racing for the goodies.....

youngest fitowner

i became a proud fit owner on Oct. 20, 2006
it was one of the happiest moments of my life...b/c to me the fit was my very first ride...

i wanted the fit b/c of my love for hondas and hatches, my parents(mom) wouldnt help me buy a used car, b/c originally i wanted an EK or an EG, but when i saw what the fit was i had to have it...it was a new car, 4-door, and everything i was looking for....the way i got my fit is different from the storys ive heard, my parents just one day took me to the dealership and i saw the fit...we got it rite there on the spot, i didnt care what color it was, i ended up with a SSM fit....

now ive been paying off my fit since ive made the down payment...my car is BONESTOCK b/c i cant afford any mods, and my parents are very very very very very very very very very very very very very.....very STRICK....my dad made it clear that he didnt want anything done to the fit

so all i can do is dream, i made a deal with them, my parents said that i had to have at least a grand in the bank b4 even thinking about modding my car...but its nearly impossible for me when i only have a part time job at minimum wage...

i still have BIG DREAMS that will hopefully become a reality, im in a muscle head town...where its ALL about american muscle, so ive taken alot of shit but i still love my car...i want to give my ride a more aggressive look..
jdm is all i want for my car.....

my parents Z4 and my fit

stick...its the only way to go

the only thing aftermarket on my ride

i tried to give it the illusion that it was drifting

and my favorite shot
