What was the first upgrade you did to your Fit?
#81
here are my Fog lamp surrounds, which were totally chewed up from road debris (I have had 3 broken fog lamps in 1 year). The coating makes a bedliner type or coarse powdercoat-like wrinkle black finish.
The coating also reduces vibrations since it is a sound dampener/sealant. We used like 4 cans of it in a stripped CX EG h22 hatchback to drop the interior resonance levels because the motor mounts were super hard polyurethane. It helped out quite a bit. I have one can left, but will likely run through it quickly. My last can I used to coat and adhere the dynamat in my boat's engine bay cover which is fiberglass. The rubberized coating dropped the engine noise substantially, and makes it much more pleasant cruising at speed. I feel like the whole fit needs to get a coating of it underneath, in the doors, wheel wells, you name it, just to make it a little more durable and quiet the road noise a bit, plus it always makes the stereo sound better, as you don't get the funky vibrations.

Yeah.. I'm thinking more like raising it! Gravel roads

Thanks Shaggs. That's some stuff that I will probably use a lot of. It is far better looking and is sure to be better at sound deadening than the asphalt spray on crap that I coated many an old beater with years ago.

Installed all-weather floor mats, and have begun replacing all but the headlights with LEDs (even if that means I'll be driving with seizure-inducing hyperflashers until I figure out how to splice in some load resistors).

I got my GD second-hand, so most of my "upgrades" are actually replacements because a lot of things really needed replacing.
First real mod I did was the headunit since my stock HU refused to play CDs since day 1.

It all started for me with tint - never had done that before - then the Mugen modifications began - then the carbon fiber came into play and 3 years later - I love my Fit more than ever!
