Bought a blue 2016 Honda Fit with 12k miles. Wanted an automatic, but I started a new job where I drive a lot (2k in the past month) and wanted something a bit easier to drive. This car has averaged no less than 35 MPG even on days where I drive it a bit harder, and managed to squeeze 39 MPG out of it on the way to visit some places. I've moved the rear wiper to the up position already, added a front and rear dash camera that is hardwired, and am looking to do some other mods to improve the overall use of the car. Right now working on getting window tint done and possibly adding an under the seat amplifier to the stock headunit.

List of potential mods i'm thinking of:

Window Tint
Sound Deadening
Rear LED Tail Lights
JDM Hazard Button




Here is my car.

 

looking good, and a great start!

every consider a ktuner to be apart of your list of things to do?

 

Congrats on your car! And welcome aboard.

 

Thanks!


What would I gain from this, and would it be worth the cost? The car is a work vehicle for now, and i've managed to get between 36-41 MPG so far.

 

[QUOT[/QUOTE] you said you turned rear wiper to up position, what does that do?

Gives it a different look, but mainly makes it to where a bunch of debris won't build up on the blade.


Here it is.

Welcome OP. Sounds like you spend a lot of time in the car. If you like music, I'd invest in better speakers.

Good call on the f/r dash cam. I've got a setup on mine since I have a long commute.

Look at doing something with the steering wheel. I wrapped mine in leather for a better feel as I didn't like the stock wheel being so slippery.

 

Hey did you ever rewrap your steering wheel? I can tell you that it would take longer to do that then to do the raised trunk floor!

 

ZippyFit, congrats on the new car!

I'd like to see what/how you're doing your sound deadening. I have a few pics of mine.

 

Haha no never did rewrap it. I think it's actually shrunk some so it looks better. Still haven't done the raised trunk floor either LOL

 

I urge that you read up on it, its a great thing

Thank YOU! Your posts have really helped a lot and I bookmarked your tinkering thread as soon as I bought the car. My wife has a 2018 Corolla that i've done noico sound deadening on. We just did the trunk space and the doors, and that made a good difference. We also did some reflectix as the middle layer, so only leaving the MLV left to add.

I plan on stepping it up with my own car, and going with the floors, roof, etc. Probably stop short of pulling the dash.



Just bought these to add to the car.

 

I wired those tail lights to function as brake and turn signals. The current trend for vehicles with low mounted turn and brake signals is so counter intuitive.

 

I've started doing my sound proofing, which i'll update here:
