Personally, I haven't done anything yet but may do tint soon. Was just curious of what others considered as the best first upgrade to the Fit?

Wow, a lot of you did springs. I think lowering springs in my area would be no good as there's too many hills, dips, potholes, you name it. I'd smash up my bumper in no time. Maybe tint first and then a Fujita Intake.

Ummm if you consider window tint an upgrade then that was it. If not:

JDM center console & armrest.

Yeah, I do. The armrest is nice. I have to be careful with any performance upgrades I do as I don't want to void the warranty. I'll be doing mostly cosmetic stuff.

Yeah I figured tint on a black fit would fit nicely, no pun intended.

I put a shift knob on first, although that hardly counts. First real upgrade was a new head unit & XM radio. Got some tint done a few weeks ago, it's pretty nice. Finishing the stereo upgrades (components, amp, sub, sound deadening) is first priority.

Really want/need new tires, and a suspension w/ a mild drop is high on the list.

Tint, some dealer accessories, then JDM badges. Because they were cheap and easy.
