What's the plan??

Just wondering how far you guys are going to take it? Are you planning on keeping it mostly stock or (like me) you're just waiting for more toys to come out for the car?

So far I started building a list of goodies (most of them not even out yet).
-T1R suspension
-T1R Voltage stabilizer
-T1R BMax2 Shift knob and short shift
-T1R Purple Lug nuts
-Advan RG2 in bright chrome (unless I change my mind again!!)
-T1R exhaust
-Bi Xenon HIDs
-T1R turbo kit...hopefully
For those who know me, you also know this will get done right.
Sorry for all the T1R stuff...I really like the purple!

I plan on keeping mine mostly stock. Just cusco coilovers and eventually a KW supercharger. Dont want to bother with mods that will only give me 2 or 3 hp I wont feel. Plus the KW supercharger still allows me to get 30+mpg and have a somewhat quick car to drive.

Also already got nokya yellow foglights and piaa headlights.

For me......PRM intake (already ordered), and a nice exhaust kit when it becomes available (nothing too ricey!). I would be interested in all other engine/HP upgrades that come along...they're fun for me!

Hmm... on my definte list of upgrades are...
-t1r rear disc conversion
-T1R intake
-HID Head Lamps
-Mugen front lip
-led tails

and maybe some new wheels and a quiet exhaust. The look I'm going for is kinda a sleeper look. I dont want to attract too much attention, just some subtle stuff that only cool people (fitfreak members) will really notice.

If I do end up getting an 09 Fit, i'll probably tint the windows, do oem led tails, and a projector retrofit, and maybe, just maybe, install an oem-integrated audio setup.

I have the 09 Fit Sport and since it already has a relative nice body kit, I've decided that I'm just going to go for tint and springs. I'm still deciding whether or not to get my 16" alloys painted to a dark gunmetal to go with the blue sensation colour

* Unorthodox Lightweight crank pulley (avail. Jan)
* 12lb Odyssey battery
* I want to do the RSR Titanium 2000 drop springs (should be a big weight savings) or coil overs, but I need feedback as I dont want to sacrifice too much ride quality!
* Intake, trying to decide PRM or wait for others
* cat back exhaust
* so far....SSR forged Type F wheels 16x6.5 45 offset, Bright silver 11.6 lbs

Hmm, probably nothing until warranty is done.

After that, if I have the $$, just tint, springs, wheels and various small accessories. Maybe intake and exhaust. But most likely not.

When I first bought the car, I told myself that I'm not gonna do any mods...yet here I am, modding away!!! I swear, this damn forum!!! Ever since I first stumbled on here, my $$$ has been going to parts for the car

I've done mods to my prior two cars and told myself enough... oh well

- I've got a set of Cusco Compact Zero-1 coilovers on its way from Japan. Gonna sell my friend the Tanabe NF210 springs on my car right now.

- I'm on 17x7.5 +43 5Zigen Gn+ (hyperblack) with cheapy Khumo AST's 205/40

- I've done the black headlight housing mod

- Gonna wait for a Mugen grill (not the one from the dealer) or the J's Racing grill to come out

- Possibly gonna go with an Apexi WSII muffler (not too loud, not a fart can, and definitely not for any hp gains )

But in all seriousness, this forum rocks and the ppl too. And yes, I've got a GE8.

Well...Little update since some goodies came in today! I got my T1R Voltage stabilizer, Shift knob and Short shift...Also got a set of Advan RG in 16 inch for a friend but I'll be test fitting them in the next few days-I think the offset is too aggressive! Also got my Yellow Ricochet film on my fog lights.
