hello, my name is bill, some call me billboard, others have called me worse. I'm new to the Honda Fit, but not new to Hondas...

previous rides, you may have seen me around...

91 civic wagon: the original


89 civic sedan: Sara Jessica Parker


88 civic hatch: slimer


94 accord wagon: grams


91 civic wagon: The G


89 civic wagon: ms piggy


just sold Element: Peety


and my newly aquired 2007 Fit.

 

ha all those civic wagons were dope! just a one car show from now on?

 

Thanks, yeah just the fit for me... you may have noticed I have a thing for wagons, the fit is like a new age wago, I'm excited to start modding....

First things first, TINT...

And the jdm/edm/ukdm? arm rest, where ever those come from is first on my list... I gotta have an armrest cause I slouch and the fit is so strangly uncomfortable for me....

 

Love the names of your cars-- what you naming the Fit?

 

Un named at the moment, haven't gotten to know her yet...

 

Nevermind my question as to why you were lurking around here...

Yeah so you and I share the same opinion that the Fit is the reincarnated Civic wagon. Did you see my "Fit and Wagon SAME Car topic? (Clickable)

What made you sell the E? My wife and I are kicking around the idea of selling our '05 EX Element, and having her take the '11 Fit we just bought "for me" so we can take care of some home improvement items like a roof, etc.

You'll crap yourself comparing the mpg for the Fit and the Element, that's for sure. I'm sure it will be no time before your Fit has the ole' Billboard flavor. I'm guessing you're going to do something about those white headlight housings?

 

i suppose i did my first "mod" if you will...



i took some decent pix of the fit while i was at it...

 

Welcome BillBoard to the FF show lol.u's had sum nice rice that's 4sure. What's up ur sleeve for da Fit? Nice pic trail, we like pix!

Is that black wheel opening trim on ur Fit?

 

thanks for the welcome... im not sure for mods as far as the fit goes... still researching and trying to pick out what i like the most...

and its some sort of black trim around the fenders... im not sure if its oem or not- it was there when i bought it...

 

well i took the Fit on its first snowboard trip this weekend to Silver Mountain.
Epic time... loaded up- no roof rack yet...

rowdy crew...

when i came back down the mountain someone left bottle rockets on my windshield...
random but awesome...

 

I think the color is dope. Ok so maybe it was a couple of years back but still there was a great cost in getting something so well coordinated. Simple elegance in White, yes.
Nice, very nice indeed.

Woo

 

so while browsing here, I ran into a thread claiming that every Honda Fit came with an OEM tow hook; you can imagine my excitement... I was very sceptical that this was true, but it was- they do indeed come with a little tow hook located in the lug wrench bag in the trunk.

i found mine still in bubble wrap in the trunk




take cap plastic cap off front bumper and drill hole.



buy plasti-dip (first time using this product- i like how it sprays so far and i hear it holds up very well)



hang towhook and spray



results tomorrow... when it dries

 

cool mod & cheap!

finished...

i had trouble drilling this hole- ROFL... and i anihilated the paint- so i may be buying a new little cover and giving drilling a hole another try... it was tricky i didnt have a big enough drill bit- clearly.... razor blade oops

but i found a nice little black ring insert at Ace made for plumbing... had i not scraped the paint up- i would be happy with results...

the tow hook actually goes into the bumper just a little bit... i used a couple of washers to get it to stick out this far...

 

Fit and finish are Great good work noob!
Big Mike

 

i love getting prizes in the mail...

 

had to take the bezzel surround off to get to the hazard switch...

 

i painted my rims black... and washed the Fit... i love it...

 

Welcome to the Fit Family - excuse my drooling - but looking over your Honda collection made it happen. Awesome! Ok just a suggestion but a CF hood on that baby would be sick! Just a thought!

 

Ya know I've had CF hoods in the past and they are a lot of work to keep looking nice, they fade fast and crack and usually don't fit nearly as well as oem, at least the one I had was this way... so I'm in no rush at all to get cf, plus there are a ton of other goodies to pick up first...... visors. Armrest. Tint... the list goes on and on...
