anything can make power from intake and complete exhaust. its expensive for the gains you make but if you dont have alot for a swap or FI you get what you can. does hondata still make the flashpro? i thought they had one for the fit?

13fit,
I know we talked a little in PM but are you saying only the intake/exhaust combo took you from 17's to the 16.3 range in the 1/4? No lightweight pulley? I know you said you had lighter wheels. You really got my attention on this. Thanks!

I'm almost sure I'm getting the 2015 fit but all the fuss around the CVT is kinda getting to me.

I drove a 2013 crz with the cvt.... not impressed is my 2 cents, it was WEIRD and not in a good way for me, it accelerated like... a snowmobile? if you will. where the rpms stayed constant all the way through acceleration. maybe some wont car but i wouldnt get one thats just me.

Hey Aaron if you are wanting a super cheap and easy mod for your car, try PlastiDip. Change the color of anything on your car for about $5 plus its easily removable if it gets damaged or you just want to try something new.

From my experience:

1.- Interior LED ligths (Not expensive, but depending on your budget you can get the original Honda Dome LED from Japan)
2.- LED H4 (Headlights) + LED H11 (Fog ligths) + Switchback LED (Front turn ligths) + LED T10 (Parking & Reverse)
3.- Shark Fin Antenna
4.- JDM OEM HONDA FIT 17cm 2WAY Speakers GS-5060XL (Gathers)
5.- JDM OEM HONDA FIT RED Hazard switch P/N 35510-SYP-003
6.- Mugen Wheels (nice look but very very expensive, I dont know if those wheels improve the performance, Honda says YES)
7.- Rubber pads for the interior (nice look and not expensive)
8.- JDM Honda RED Emblems/Badges
9.- Honda Accord Horn
10.- Caliper covers (see MGP) / Other option is painting (I prefer caliper covers, but still not applied in my car, 16 inch wheel is required)

Lighting is always an easy first thing to do in terms of cost and simplicity. Headlights, foglights, dome lights. Lots of little interior things to do that are cheap and easy too.

I agree with you

I installed those LEDs in the Headligths, very nice color, not necessary to do a retrofit, the light dispersion is like an HALOGEN bulb but white color and of course more brilliant not as HID but better as stock bulbs.

I installed this model ( i do not recommend because is very very difficult to install)



However i think this model is more easy to install, I saw a video on youtube



You can find them on ebay or aliexpress

The next video show a different LED headlight (this type uses a LED BALLAST)

I used the PIAA Yellows for the foglights and kept the clear housing.

For the headlights I did PIAA Ultra White or something like that. It's an easy whiter and brighter upgrade. Mine have lasted for over 5 years now, and neither one has gone out.

It's actually the very first thing I did. The stock bulbs are always so dull.
