New Owner '17 Fit EX 6MT WOP

Newbie checking in. '01 Accord finally broke down after 200k miles. Fell in love with the fit in '07 so it became my dream car. So happy to finally own one.


Spend some time with my baby on Valentine's

Welcome! Looks good, dude! It's really a nice color. I felt the EX had a very nice accessory package, so good choice. Like you, I've liked the fit since it came out, but haven't been able to afford one until now.

I told my friend about the fit cause I was really considering getting one, he works at a Honda dealership. Funny enough he had been wanting one too. Next day he made a purchase on your color LX fit the next day after talking to him. He told me there was one more manual LX 2017 just like his. I was about to go there the next day and get it but fiance encouraged me to get the color I wanted and the next trim up since it had a sunroof, alloy wheels, and I've always liked white cars. So 2 days later I found only on dealership in Houston that gave me the best quote on the ex. I've never had some of these luxuries before on my accord lol so I'm pretty happy with everything in this car. I can't wait to get wind visors like yours!

Nice! Yeah, this is also my first time with an infotainment system and backup cameras and all the other fancy stuff.

Yeah I mentioned where you can buy the visors, and so far I'm pleased with them. Also, if you want to buy OEM accessories or parts, you can get them for substantially less than dealer price at BernardiParts. OEM stuff is not cheap but at least they offer it for less than your local deal may try to sell it for. The rep over there set up a discount on shipping if you enter the code: FitFreak at checkout. I've bought my Body-Side Moulding and Wheel Locks from them and they were good and quick. College Hills Honda also sells accessories and parts and they may have stuff that Bernardi doesn't. Both are popular on these forums, from my understanding.

Dude yes. Yours looks so clean even with the logo on it. Im just trying to do functional mods ATM. It's getting hot during the day here in Houston so tints was the first thing I needed. But since I drive 40 min to work on the highway I think the wind visor will reduce some of the noise in the cabin. I also need a cargo cover but they're so expensive. I need to DIY that when I have more time. My 03 Sequoia got broken into and I don't want that happening on my fit. Even if I was dumb and left my backpack in the car and parked in a dark alley.

All good info that I wanna look at when I have time. Thanks buddy!

I'd be jealous if I didn't still like my SSM09Sport5mt I call Snark
It's good to be satisfied
