I think these are must have...
1) HID
2) Tint
3) Centre Console

the rest like intake, exhaust, lowering springs, tires, rims... those are optional... unless you have a lot of extra cash.

I did a lot of stuff on my ride, but thats cos I really like my car and i have never mod anything car before. However, if I just want a car that does its job, going from point A to point B while still having some fun, then I wouldn't even go into any performance part other than the first three listed =\

1. Tint for sure- Fit has lots of glass
2. Floor mats

For new Fit owners, IMO, these two are must haves; the rest of the mods are more about aesthetics, etc, although I'm thinking of getting a dead pedal. Didn't realize I'd miss until I didn't have one. Armrest is not a biggy with me, but seems to be for others on here.
I've had mine just under 2 weeks and will be getting tint real soon. Its too hot here in the south not to have it.

psssh....

1k can get you a lot of stuff man.

thats all it takes.


intake and ss= 95 bucks from h-fit.com may be ugly but it puts out numbers

lowering springs 200 shipped

tint=170...i know someone on scp has a hookup in the oc/la area

exhaust 200-250

you will be around 700...

get yourself the jdm armrest for 300( i think thats how much they go for)


and 140 for the jdm oem window visors.

your set

well if it makes you feel better....

i noticed at least a 3mpg difference with my intake.

so i would at least get that.

and that was compared to when i was running a k&n drop in filter.

If I had a second chance, i would not go for lowerin.. totally mess up the comfort and its a pain whenever u go over speed bumps... why do I have to make an S-turn every time i see one... its dumb - I admit =D

Intake, yea... maybe thats a good idea, but for someone who just want a "better than stock"... tint and HID is good... the center armrest is just an extra space for me to put my tissue box (or napkin dispenser whatever u call it). One extra good feature about the jdm center console (armrest) is the hooks on the cupholder. Its perfect for attaching your grocery bags or take-out orders, allowing you to trun hard without worrying about spills (perfect for deliverying Bubble-tea from my local BBT place to work)

for floor mats, just get any generic heavy-duty mats.
