Well this weekend I said goodbye to the Fit. Slapped on some "amazing" Katana brand wheels, removed coilovers (most annoying front end suspension access ever) and traded it in for my nice and shiny 2017 White Orchid Pearl Civic Hatchback Sport 6 speed.

Enjoyed the Fit. It had some serious utility and function, I mean I fit a 55" tv in the back, a brand new dishwasher...and god knows what else.

Will still lurk around, but clearly dont have a GE to do things to anymore so not sure if I'll be posting much.

I mean I do have GE parts to sell and there's good people here. =)

Thanks guy. Very happy with the car. Hopefully some mild mods in the near future....anything extreme like wheels/suspension will be LATER down the road haha.

Check out the HKS "silent" axle back. It sounds great, nice mellow tone at idle, quiet on highway, and just enough grunt at full throttle. I really like mine, and it isn't all "ricey" sounding or obnoxious!

Unhappy Just did something new to my 2013 Fit!

I just added a lovely dent right across the middle of my hood with a Silverado 1500 as the tool. Where can I find a white hood to replace mine with?? Any ideas other than buying and painting a new one?

Keep on craigslisting. I got a blue fit i am restoring from a member here, which was rearended. I managed to find a whole parts car WITH a 42k mile motor on CL for just 350! Just a hatch and rear bumper was gonna cost me over 500 at jnkyd.

Also, I know u don't want to order one, bit ebay has replacements for like 129 shipped. Take hood to a decent shop (not maaco) off the car, and hace it painted. Ez as F to install with one helper in 5 min.

OR, u can spend more, and have orig hood fixed, depending on dmg level.
