Bought a Fit. It's Red. I'm going to do dumb things to it.

Got it on the 4th of July on a semi-whim which is why I had my mohawk done up like the flag.

Dumb things list:
Paint the hood with chalkboard paint (the hood has a couple rock dents anyway that I'll fill in.)
Sunroof
VTEC Stickers +25HP
Sound system upgrade
More stickers. +3HP per sticker

After I sell my Del Sol and Truck
Sport or Mugen style body kit
Coilovers
Pink or neon green rims. Something stupid.

Gotta find a cheap spare fender and sticker bomb it.

I picked up a sport bumper, lip and grill off of craigslist yesterday for $60. They need a little work but for the price I can't complain. They're also blue lol.

So far I've added the $20 keyless entry and am waiting for some audio stuff to come in so I can replace the factory head unit and door speakers. I still haven't figured out which tweeters to put up front.

I'm having a hard time finding cheap side skirts. If anyone has some for sale PM me. I will post a WTB thread once the forum gods deem me worthy to do so.

Love your list of "dumb things!" Show us pics
About the sunroof - Oh wow! How much do you expect this to cost / where are you going to get it?

I found a local webasto dealer that quoted me $1200.

I got some other goodies Friday. I picked up a Mugen exhaust, prm intake and a midpipe off a local chap that sold his fit.

I wonder how much weight would the sunroof add? Always wanted one in the fit

I think somewhere around 50-100 pounds? I could be wrong. I'm just remembering back to my CRX days when people would remove the sunroof and fill it in with metal to save weight.

Anyhow, I've installed a PRM CAI and Mugen axle-back exhaust. The T1R midpipe goes on this weekend hopefully.
