Also, they have a very cool looking armrest/console that is coming in soon. Check out the installation video on their site.

If you don't want to wait for College Hills Honda to have it available, you may want to try A&J Racing. Email them for price and stock number. I have read of several people who have already bought one from them. There is an installation thread for the JDM console on Fit Freak.
Talk to College Hills Honda. I was thinking about ordering some Japanese or European market wheels for my car and my local dealer said they only ordered items with US part numbers. Same went for some other dealers I tried to contact. I then e-mailed College Hills and they told me they could get it. They ended up giving me price and country of origin. I ended up not getting those wheels due to the very high cost of shipping, but they could have gotten them for me.
One think I am not sure about is the color of the visor, and whether the other market visors would be the same plastic color...if not they won't match, so you might want to ask them that. It is worth a shot though. Best of luck!
BTW - the weight of the steel and alloy wheels is identical.
Excellent job of sleuthing.

The guy at Poleposition products said:
"Bubba,
Sorry we are not able to get the visors in black.
Thanks and hope to help you next time.
Howard"

Hi Bubba,
They only have one color listed, and it is grey. Completely sold out
right now. ETA is about 6 weeks. The price is $70 USD shipped.
Let me know if you have other questions. I'm taking deposit on these right now.
Best Regards,

There's an autodimming mirror that has map lights (along with an outdoor temperture indicator) that I've seen online at Pep Boys. Has anyone tried to install something like this on their Fit? It looks like the same one that came with my Unlimited and if so, the lights are really directional and allow a passenger to read a book without bothering the driver. I've thought about exploring this solution, but haven't done anything about it. Has anyone done something like this?
The holes in the carpet (driver's side) are 90% precut - I pulled out the remaining 10% with one snip of the scissors. It was literally hanging by a thread. The hooks work well, no more slight shifting.
the shorter the sidewall the more responsive the steering is to input cuz there is less "flex"
the contact patch doesnt actually increase in size, it just changes in shape
since you're changing all 4 tyres the cornering attitude of the car technically shouldn't change, if it pushed before (understeer) it's going to push now too, just the limits may be set higher due to grippier tyres and the point at which slip angle increases so much it's noticible
to properly get the car to stop understeering and develop neutral steer you need can change a number of variables, the front/rear brake bias, front rear weight distribution, front or rear suspension soft/hardness, staggered wheel sizing (front tires wider then rear), etc
the important thing i want to get at is when you upsize the tyre the contact patch doesnt actually increase in size given the same air pressure in the tyres which is what alot of people believe, the maximum amount of grip you have is determined by the tyre's compound tread pattern and to a lesser extent contact patch shape, suspension tuning, lightening of body parts (car body parts) just helps you reach and use that potential, alot of kids (i'm a kid myself) who for the lack of a better word "rice" up their cars think immediately that OMG if i replace my 175's with 205's and upsize from 14" to 17" i'm gonna get more grip which is completely wrong
anyways that's enuff blabbering for today, peace --V
and one last thing, does anyone know where one could get a cargo cover for the fit ?? other then a dealership which would take an arm and leg for a flimsy piece of plastic?
Thanks, mimi

I went to home depot and bought rubber washers to put between but some guys are using 3/16 teflon washers. If it gets worse I'll touch it up vs. repaint of bumpers.
My sport bumbers got a good scratch this morning on the curb.
As close to factory and sheen. Again, it's at the seam of the bumber and body. I think you can fix it.
What is a bumber? Thanks.............

I have to say that the paint quality is not the problem but most likely the friction between the bumper and fender through normal driving/bumps. If the wheel well protective panels are always coming off, imagine the shock it does to the paint. I don't think repainting will resolve the problem.
Lots of interesting discussion, but apparently no one has actually done it yet.
A question I have is whether the body parts to which the skirts and spoiler are attached are painted prior to their installation, which would ease my concerns, or after the "aero" parts were installed, which would raise serious issues. :confuse:
