Hey Desmond, I'm finally a little less of a poser After a fresh detail this morning, I removed the "i" from the "VTEC" stickers. Honestly, I had no idea about the differences between the two until your post and then I read up on it. I had only gotten the idea earlier this year after seeing a few FitFreak members with the "i-VTEC" stickers. So, thank you very much!! Cheers!

Since you drive a ton i'd get some springs for the better look and some function.

It was BONE stock when I purchased it. I absolutely LOVE IT. As soon as I bought it, I began looking for inexpensive, fun, DIY mods and I wanted to share my progress, get your thoughts, and see where I should head next. I'm really happy with this car and it's been a work in progress (as the budget has allowed). HUGE THANKS to the FitFreak community...you've been my inspiration. So here goes:


First off, just last week (08/19), I finally put 16x7 wheels with 205-45R16 tires on. Personally, I think they look GREAT. This is fresh after a cleaning/detail.




Rear profile:



Added Clazzio black w/red stitching PVC seat covers (ABSOLUTE favorite mod to date.) Really dresses up the interior of this econo-box. Also, notice the WeatherTech floor mats for the front seats, plus I added the WeatherTech cargo/trunk mat as well. Also, added LED footwell lights that come on when the doors are opened.



(Sort-of) matching leather w/red stitching shift knob



B&I "Blackwood" dash kit. I really enjoy this.



Another shot of the B&I dash kit



Door sill trim



Dash Designs DashTex cover (I live in SC and the heat/sun can wreck a dash)



Wheelskins EuroTone leather steering wheel cover. COMPLETE pain in A** to install, but worth it in the end. I love it!



I added an aftermarket cargo area cover, and then added the "Fit" logo to it. Note the WeatherTech cargo mat as well.



Other mods include the following:
Progress rear sway bar
Rear Monroe air shock upgrade
Class I hitch
Yakima roof rack + Yakima rear bicycle rack
Rear bumper applique
Zeta armrest
AVS window deflectors
AVS hood/bug deflector
18% tint all the way around
After market keyless entry installed
Honda (Element) locking gas cap
i-VTECH SOHC stickers
K&N air filter
LED dome & cargo area lighting
Fit Sport exhaust chrome exhaust tip
removed all three exterior Honda/Fit emblems, flat-black painted, and reinstalled
added the ability to play MP3's
added Bluetooth speaker
ScanGauge E


And that's about it (for now). What do you think? Where should I go next? Again, I want to thank the FitFreak community for soooooooo much inspiration and information.


Hello! Wow great mods. I was just wondering. When it came to the airshocks and rear sway bar did you install them yourself? I’m not that handy but I really want to tow a tear drop with my 2014 Honda Fit. I know this is a rookie question but do the same parts that fit your 08 fit my 14?
