    too much probably...

    but im just researching parts and info on them right now... there is soooo much to go through... edm/ukdm/usdm/jdm and then finding authentic parts- not ebay remakes; there is just soooo much aftermarket support for the FIT, i dont think i've ever owned a car with such a huge following....

    So Bill, does this mean you're driving us to Forum Fest on June 25? :)

    (I'll go halves on gas...)
  • my favorite-the first gen fits, is that the automatic w/paddle shift?
    if not, no worries. congrats.

    I'm guessing headlight housing mod/swap is on the "do to" list?

    I'd always thought a silver or white 1st gen Fit with headlights from a black or dark grey Fit (so the housing is black or dark grey durrr!) would be pretty titts. I'm sure it's been done a lot, but I thought about it when the Fits first came out.

    I too have an auto tragic with the paddles, and honestly they're pretty nifty. You'll be shocked at how the transmission downshifts/engine brakes aggressively under hard braking even when in full auto/not "S" mode. Well my GE Fit does that, but I'm guessing the GD does too?

    If I didn't have the Wago and '92 hatch to drive I'd be modding my Fit too, but it's likely staying 100% stock. It might end up as my wife's DD if we decide to sell her Element, so lowering the Fit now would not make sense.

    We do have tons of options, especially you having a 1st gen Fit. If I had a 1st gen it'd be really, really hard to not boost it or K swap that ho. There's a few boosted auto Fits that the owners have said to think the tranny holds up well with it.

    headlight housing- it was one of the first things i thought of, but after doing research and looking around, EVERYONE as swapped out their headlights for black ones, so im thinking im gonna keep them white- but you never know; if a pair of black ones popped up for cheap, it'd be hard for me to resist... or red or blue or some silly color- i'd probably do that...

    its really quick for being an auto and small car... i cant explain how rigid it is- i dont know if its just that i havent been in a smaller car for a long time or if its a stiff chassis.... i dunno- but handles like its on rails..... better than i remember my wagon handling and i had done a lot to get the wagon to handle like it did...

    as for the element; i was sick of the Element. it was just getting those high miles, where it seemed every three months- i had to fix or replace something... i had done everything i wanted to do to it... a set of low offset wheels would have been rad but no big deal... someone recently scraped/dented the living shit out of the rear driverside door, that really bothered me... id say for you; you may have one too many cars... but Element wouldnt be my first sell if i were you... :wink:

    Yeah I'd thought about you getting some off color'd headlights, or even having a red one and a blue one, lol.

    ...and you have PM.
  • leWolfleWolf Senior Wagonist
    Thats sweet how the light interior matches the outside color. The wife and I are going to look at a Mugen Fit and a Fit sport in about an hour. Both of them seem like good deals but It's for her so she gets to pick. The white looks awesome though!
  • B18C5-EH2B18C5-EH2 Moderator
    This might have been done already, but dudebro CAMO headlight housings and mathcing front lip would be sick. Or some stickerized look for the housings and front lip. It'd be time consuming, but you seem to enjoy shit like that.

    I can just see you "Billboarding" the headlight housings, front lip, and getting some Diamond steelies or some shit.

    camo would be cool for a day or so then i think i would hate it...

    i HATE diamond steelies... not hate- but its just kinda ghetto... ghetto and billboard styling may overlap at times, but i like to think im a tad bit classier than that... lols...

    but i suppose i did my first "mod" if you will...

    I'm just glad Honda came out with the Fit because my mother in law got a new one and I got her "88" wagon. nice ride keep us up to date on upgrades.
  • shenrieshenrie Council Member
    still suprises me those mirrors are popular again, lol. thier great till you get in a wreck and hit your head on them.

    camo inside the lights would look sick, thats a good idea. havent seen that before. if not camo, maybe something like the woodgrain i had done to my valvecover. that guy has prints for days. skulls, camos, woodgrains, snakeskin etc. His site: http://www.h2ographx.com/patterns.php?ptrn=camo

    i know your swaying aginst black housing headlights, but it would look pretty good. especially if you went the route you went with so many ef's by putting more black on the cars. maybe blackout the lipkit, doorhandles, emblems, wing, etc. Every fit I see is always all colormatched, billboard style would dictate the opposite of that (to me anyway). I guess a lot will depend what wheels you end up with too. either way, always look forward to the cars you choose getting billboarded, lol.

    and x2 in the diamond wheels. i was sick of those when only the vw guys were using them.

    Is that a Washington sticker? Does this mean you're gonna update your location?

    But when yout trying to start a business its hard to get the word out when u have
    Nothing left in stock to offer...

    I think its wapparel.com... peep it if you get bored...

    I guess I should update my location... and I'm 208 fo life...
  • kylerwhokylerwho Wagonist
    yeah im one of the old members on fitfreak.

    really popular mods are blacked out headlights or just simply switching them with a nhbp fit headlights.
    also painting the fog light covers black.
