New honda in the garage!

Bought a 2008 Black Fit Sport last night, I told them to take off the 194 dollar wheel locks because Im not stupid, I know what they are worth..lol. Instead, he knocked another 200 off the price. Hopefully I got a good price. It was 16,996 otd included tax, tag ,title, some stupid fee, and he kept the wheel locks on.

Its my Gf's car (in my name), but I will be modding it...lol. with her approval of course.

Sounds like not a bad deal, lets see some pictures! You can almost always get them to throw wheel locks in for free, I got my wheel locks, floor mats and cargo cover for free...

Im pretty sure im going to go full HFP with it. I like doing stock upgrades to keep the warranty. K&N drop in will likely be the first change.

I take that back, the first thing i did was take the front tag holder off and remove the dealer sticker from underneath FIT.

Do they make a pink "." to go above the i in Fit? She wants that done soon too.

Im getting 20% tint put on it soon also.

I still have her old car (2001 dodge intrepid) so I am going to have the viper alarm moved to the FIT as well as the fosgate amp.

I also have a passport 8500 x50 (blue display) in the intrepid, so I will be hard wiring it into the Fit. I think I am going to buy her the smartchord for it too, Its nice to be able to mute it without climbing onto the dash. The blue leds on the 8500 will match great!

That deal does not sound bad at all man, nice job!

So how is the Fit compared to Si? I really would love to get a TW Si sedan, if only i could afford it. Im happy we have a Fit owner who also has a Si so you can tell us how they compare!
Congratz on another nice Honda!

I drove it home from the dealer. Its fun to drive. Noticeably slower than my Si, but the ride is much smoother. I love the paddle shifters!

^Thanks...


Oh, the only other problem I had with it was the steering wheel is too far away. I like the telescopic steering wheel on my Si.

I love the car! If it had the k20z in it, I would trade my Si in on it in a heartbeat. She won't let me drive it, so I know she likes it.
