Hey everyone!
Cliff's Notes: Getting a Fit soon, show me modded base ones! Preferably ones with a drop and wheels
So I've been lurking on the forums for quite some time, and have been on others (The Car lounge, G2IC, rx7club, etc). Just some quick info, I'm a senior at Frostburg State University, studying early childhood education. I've owned a handful of different cars including a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle (sold), 1992 Acura Integra (sold too), 1979 Mazda Rx7, and 1992 Volvo 740 wagon, both of which I still have. The Volvo has racked up its fair share of miles and is begining to get tired, and I've been looking into getting a Fit to replace it as a DD, so the wagon can be retired to kayak / canoe river duties. I've shopped around a bunch and have test drove the xD, Yaris, and Fit, and overall I've settled 100% on the Fit as I was most impressed with its fit and finish, overall build quality, standard equipment, and safety. So, in the next few weeks I will most likely be purchasing a base MT Fit
Still cant decide on a color, I'm leaning towards white, but considering black as well, we'll see! So show me modded bases, preferably ones with a drop and wheels, maybe a light tint, for inspiration! I look forawrd to spending some time on these forums, so far its been very insightful!

Select your model (the base is the top one), select a color, then select accessories. There is a fog light option in accessories for the base. Notice that it blacks out the corners of the lower grille.
Base fit in white.
And these are the fog lights:
I'm just dragging and dropping from the site. The whole car doesn't come over with the fog lights. LOL!
You can try out all the exterior options and colors and compare sport to base in appearance.

Although I am glad to say that the Volvo will be sticking around as a watersports hauler / Frostburg winter beater / ski schleper! Maybe I'll finally get around to going to the local pick-a-part yard to pull the turbo of a turbo'd wagon we'll see...Good news, I have a 10 o'clock appointment tomorrow at Herson's Honda, bringing as much knowledge as I can, hopefully talking prices!!!

Yeah, the black seats are cool, but I have a white dog, and I didn't know how easy to clean these seats were when I was shopping.
How'd you do the rear bumper black? Vinyl or paint? I'm thinking about doing that too.
No wheels yet?

Put the blades on!! I've been looking on craigslist for forever now, and have often come close to calling about blades / si wheels / mesh's. I don't know how else to say it, but I think blades would look great "backwards," maybe... the opposite direction they're supposed to go?

I love 'em, and think they'd look better going the opposite direction, unless of course that already is opposite and I have no idea which way they were intended to go lol. Lack of sleep + 11 days straight of work has caught up with me
