replacing the horn

Has anyone replaced the horn on their Fit? I think I'm going to have to agree that there are times that its needed for safety... and to scare cyclists, since they insist on causing extremely dangerous situations on Nashville roads. I'm curious if replacing the horn is difficult. Any info would be grealy appreciated.

Very easy. There's tons of DIY horn threads on here.

I did mine in about an hour, just some basic Hella air horns but is WAAAY better than the stock meep meep. Cost = $35.

Just do an 09 Accord horn. It pretty much bolt's in into the GE8. I've got one on my GD3. Although, I'm about to add another. It's loud enough to get someone's attention but not excessive.

I wonder if the 2014 Fit has the same cute horn. I'm considering asking the dealership to change it out. I'm sure its not difficult, but I simply don't have a lot of spare time for things presently.

probably.

is there a honda upgrade kit for this? if not, they probably wont do it but your stereo install shop might be able to if you dont have a local speed shop to do it.
