Hi everyone - brand new Fit owner here. Just bought a 2012 in black with manual trans. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Car seems great so far - I had a 2005 Civic previously, and a 1998 Prelude before that, so you could say I'm a Honda fan. Even worked at a Honda dealer for a while a few years back. I'm an avid motorcyclist, so I figured I'd put my bike in the photo too; it's an '05 Suzuki SV650 in case anyone was wondering. I'm also a photographer, so definitely expect to see some photos when I get a chance. Hope I enjoy the Fit as much as you all seem to - cheers!

 

Good choice with the manual transmission (save the manuals). When i was looking for cars I was surprised with how few manuals the dealers are carrying now. I had to wait almost a month, I could of had my choice of 4 autos.

 

Welcome aboard Stephen! Car looks sharp. I like the color (when clean). Wax on, wax off. Enjoy your new ride!

 

Thanks for the welcome, guys - it's dark now, so here - have a picture

 

Wow! Looks great! Loving the '12's almost as much as our '08

 

Very clean! Also, anybody with a taste for bikes like that would probably have a list of future mods for the FiT..... Yes...No...

 

Really beautiful car!

 

Hi and welcome to the FF family.....For sure you will have a lot of fun with your new 2012 Honda FIT.Tints will be nice.Black car with tints looks really good.....

 

Welcome
If you can imagine it we've done it to the Fit here.

 

Hot car. I wish they never DC'd the SV from the US

 

Wow, that is beautiful! Welcome StephenAndrew. My Fit is a 2012 manual also, in silver.

 

Where in Connecticut? I am in Western Mass....just west of Springfield. Your bike looks sweet (headlight looks like it came from a B-King)! I have a black '09 Sport and a bike as well. Here's my other baby.

 

Nice SV, a truly great bike. Mod list for that? Congrats on the Fit btw

 

Thanks everyone for the compliments for both the car and the bike Looking forward to doing a little tinkering over the winter. Someone asked about a mod list for the bike, so here goes:
Headlight from 04 GSXR 1000
Supertrapp disc muffler
Suburban Machinery type 1 handlebars
Cheap-o bar end mirrors
Cartridge fork emulators and Sonic springs
ZX6-R rear shock
Corbin seat
Solo passenger seat cowl
Tech Spec tank grips
Black powder coated bits (rearsets, radiator guards, rear foot pegs)
A few other little things I'm probably forgetting - love the SV though, definitely recommend it!

As far as mods for the Fit go, I'm not planning anything too crazy...first thing that will need to go is the horn - gonna take care of that asap. Probably some modest window tints, a short shifter (or just cut and rethread the shifter to make it a couple inches shorter - anyone here do that?), maybe an intake at some point or just a K&N filter, not sure. I've kind of grown out of car modding since I had the Prelude, which I modified pretty heavily. It's an expensive hobby for sure, and I'm not looking to put a whole lot of money into it to be honest. Great little car though, and I'm sure I'll have some good times and plenty of miles to enjoy it!
