I recently purchased a NHBP GD3. Traded in my 2008 Tacoma Double Cab PreRunner. I really enjoyed my truck but the wife and I are in saving mode!

Plans for the Fit:
-Tint
-OEM All-Season Mats
-OEM Cargo Liner
-Yakima Rack (yes I actually ride)
-OEM Window Visors
-15mm Bolt-On Spacers, Rear
-Swift Spring
-K&N Drop-In Filter
-Replace OEM Foglights, Yellow Film (cracked)
-Headlight Bulbs (better ones)
-DD this bad boy, save money, and have fun while doing it!!


Past Projects: (ones worth mentioning)
-93 Civic Hatch - B16 Turbo, Suspension, Wheels
-99 Civic Coupe - 97 Spec ITR Swap, Painted Bay, Suspension, Wheels
-99 EM1 SI - 98 Spec ITR Swap, Suspension, Wheels
-02 S2000 - Suspension (sold before I could do more)


-Greg

The front are not as sunk as the rear. I dont want it to be all "hella flush" with factory wheels. The 15mm rears will hold me over for now.

Have you considered a hitch and rear bike rack setup? That way your MPG are not constantly impacted by the roof rack.

actually one of the reasons i bought a fit is cuz the people on this site are so nice..i used to go to ff meets in my eclipse back in 06. people on this site have helped me do labor on my car that i could never figure out on my own. they have become friends in real life. they have shared memories with me that ill never forget. good luck with getting 50 sequoias or 4 runners to drive 100 miles with you and spending a day bbqing and adventuring unknown places with you.

This guy getting all sentimental over here . I agree with you s0x's. The Cerritos meet that I attend fro time to time is awesome. Solid people and always a good time. There will always be assholes in the community but they don't last.

OP, enjoy your vehicles, I hope they last you while you need them
It's sad for us to lose a member but for me personally, it's sad that you traded an efficient car for a gas guzzler. If you and your wife actually 'need' the utility and mass of those vehicles, then I understand but most people waste gas driving oversized cars. And there isn't much gas left on the planet. What is present, has been made over billions of years and it hurts me to think that people burn extra gas in big vehicles for no good reason. I want my children to have oil left for their efficient use... with tundras, sequoias, titans, I doubt there will be much left.

What's left will be fought over as it is happening now. The pollution of burning the extra gas is another terrible cost to pay (increased cancers, dying of animal species, climate change). Shit, I don't like SUV drivers. Bike or FIT. </rant>
