Still hanging on to my 96Deville and keeping the Owner's out of the loop for now LOL Really can't decide what to do with it. Hard to part w/ all those horses and a real kick ass WOT K_C_

That little moon roof is hot - my 89Brougham had one along with a burgundy velor interior. What a sweat ride.
I like the photo, quick and turn that little squeaker around I think I see lust in those opera lights [functional still?] K_C_

yep everything works in the 77 except the digital clock, i'm the 2nd owner she has about 82k on the odo. The original owner inherited a Honda del Sol from her 90yr sister and she told me she couldn't drive it due to her osteoporosis, so she traded the del Sol for a (then) new 97 Accord, and i bought the 77, she said 20 yrs was long enough, also her house matched that Caddy, it was light blue aluminum siding w/ dark blue shutters!

My Ride - 2010 SS MT Sport
Mileage stands a tad shy of 6K - oil life @ 60% full as when new
AVG 38MPG on reg gas - by the numbers
Additions in order of installation:
Window Tint - 35% Rear doors on back - same day i picked her up
Cargo Carpet - custom cut a piece of utility carpet to "pave" the cargo area - keeps things from sliding
Milk Crate Cargo Organizer - full size crate fits two grocery sacks perfectly plus all the odd stuff that floats around
Honda Service Manual - standard fair for me is to get a FSM and learn about my new ride. All cars might be similar, however, they are not the same
All Season Floor Mats - OEM - very happy with them, though Weather Tech look really nice as well
XM Radio - mounted my Inno right next to the DC power socket - brought antena cable in through the hatch and hidden under mounding to the front and through the dash to the unit - AUX into the HD when using - a nice clean set-up. Inno has it's own remote - life is good. I'm taking wagers that Honda gets it togther on the 2011's and has sat radio capability, do'h
Ipod - always in the glove box - surprised at how cool that really is.
Bra - OEM - use hood section only, lower section is nice, but basically a PIA to deal with
Stebel Nautilus Compact Air Horn - can not say enough re this horn - requires a separate 20A fused circuit off the battery to a relay triggered by original horn circuit
Door Visors - OEM - Front only - rear windows are "never" opened, with rear half tinted give the car a gooood look
Window Tint - 5% windscreen strip - basically eliminates a huge amount of sky/sun glare from that huge windscreen. I'm seeing others tint the whole windscreen - I can't agree with that
Things to come:
Rear Wiper Mod - I like the look a lot
Door Sills - most likely will not go OEM - hard to justify the $$'s - 3M makes some nice textured tapes
Arm Rest Cover - my daughter is custom fitting a leather cover for the stock arm rest. The replacement arm rests make little sense to me - the car is just too small and I don't need more space to put stuff and they aren't as frugal [cheap] as I am
Trailer Hitch - still contemplating this one. I've been using a small 4x6 utility trailer I made for the past 11yrs and would hate to say good bye to it
Tires/Wheels - will most likely put a set of snows on steel wheels for winter use and replace the Dunlops with Cooper Tourings to improve performance and reduce noise. I love those tires - put 'em on my daughter's Yaris and it was night to day
Decals/Badges - been looking and thinking and I think it's the icing on the cake. Too bad the FIT's grill isn't conducive to traditional grill badges - or is it, hmmm

This Forum
I must say I'm enjoying this forum almost as much as I'm enjoying my FIT.
By becoming part of this world I've learned a whole lot about my FIT - i-Vtec - FitFreaks - coilovers - intakes - wheels/tires - Mugen - ADDOC - the list continues to grow at each log-in.
What's nice to see is that there are few mechanical/problem issues and a huge amount of DYI and MOD info/issues. Says a lot for Honda - FIT - FITFREAKS.
A ton of knowledge is contained in here and quite a kaleidoscope of freaks_
BTW pictures will soon follow - but even after all this it's still smaller than a crapper
