These aren't "mods", they are part swaps.

Aren't all "mods" part swaps Anyway, its a good start. I'm not sure how I feel about the Honda leather shift knob though... seems too round to me. Is it the same shape/size as the stock one?

I would say it is about the same size as stock. Has a much better feel than the stock knob, which felt very cheap to me.

Don't be jealous. The pedals and ambient light kit are clearly mods. Ones you would have me install for you since you lack the skill

I think people will mod this car well, actually probably better than the GD's since we should have this chassis here in the US for more than 2 years.

i dont know if i would go that far. everyone is biased toward which fit chassis they like. im biased toward the gd3 since i have one. i want to see two people from the same tuning shop race them side by side to see which is better. gd3 gets my vote.

That would be a fair test if the Fit were a race car. It isn't

Better doesn't mean faster with this type of car.

exactly, I didn't start this thread to be a chassis war, nor was my response worded as such.

Carry on

Clearly you don't know what a MOD is then. The difference between a MOD and a part swap is quite clear. If the function of the part is unchanged then its a part swap, if the function changes then its a MOD. Have a good day sir.








just kiddin, I'm just giving bakedcookies a hard time cuz we know each other

Free bump!

When the time comes, I will for sure need the instuctions. Were you able to do it without scratching and breaking stuff? At the dealership I was looking at how to pop of the radio covert, and it looks pretty tough.

Yeah, but you have to tape up the HVAC controls and all the surrounding plastic, then there is a pry hole hidden inside the top glove box, but it takes a lot of effort to make the radio start to pop out.

It's not a cover, its the entire radio and the top vents that all come out as one piece, the only good thing is there is enough slack in the harness that you don't have to unplug anything except the hazard button to install it.
