So i've been talking to a few people about accessories for the Fit and thought i'd put out to the group to discuss about them.

Myself personally when I bought my car I got the Sports model with the Protector Package I (all weather mats, cargo tray & rear splash guards). I regret getting the cargo net as it doesn't have any functionality so far. I might get the locking wheel nuts and the folding cargo tray (if I can return the net). I'm fence sitting about the door visor kit as I live in a rainy city.

I picked up THIS mount for my iphone which I have on the dash. It has a low profile and doesn't block visibility.

I've also been using the Blueant v4.0 bluetooth device for hands free which works really well, though there is a tiny bit of a learning curve.

How about you, how did you outfit your fit (no pun intended) for easier / helpful use?

 

I got the clear nose mask, rear cargo tray, cargo cover and all weather mats from the dealer when I bought my Fit.
I ordered the door edge trim, door sill protectors and rear bumper protector online & installed myself---pretty easy to do, although the door edge trim can be tricky. All of these items will help protect the car a bit & keep it cleaner.
Check out Zeta products as they have some nice accessories at great prices. You can get the door sill trim at very good price & a better bumper protector from them. I also bought their armrest which is fine for my purposes and half the price of the OEM Honda one.

Best prices I have found online for OEM Honda accessories are on Ebay and at Bernardi Parts and College Hills Honda. I bought the door visors last summer on Ebay, but have not yet installed them.

Have fun accessorizing your Fit!

 

Sean- you mentioned you got rear splash guards for your Fit--I thought these could not be installed on the Sport model?

 

Brilliant! Btw Tidewater blue here too

 

Yeah I had read that too originally but oddly enough the when I ordered the Protector 1 package from the Honda dealership it came with them. Protector 2 package is the same minus the rear splash guards.

I can take a snap tomorrow if you want to see them in action.

Perhaps this is a change for 2010 models or they did a small mod on them to make them fit though they didn't say at the time. Unsure, all I can say is my rear is guarded on splashes.

 

I'd love to see a photo of the rear splash guards installed - I had them on all four wheels on my Subaru & they really helped keep the car clean from snow and stuff- but was told they could not be put on the Sport model. If I could get the rear ones, I'd like that since winter is coming & we usually get several snow falls.

 

Rears work, fronts don't.

 

I got my rear splash guards from Bernardi, they sell just the rears especially for us Sport peeps!

I guess the front part of the side sill acts like a splash guard, maybe that's why they don't make front ones for the Sport?

 

I just bought a Fit Sport, and wheel locks were included in the offer, multiple dealerships offer them for free, and I got the cargo-shelf included as well. If you live in a high property crime area like Vancouver, having something that can cover up what might be in your hatch area is a good idea.

 

If you are looking for a great site to get OEM parts check out CFLHonda I got all my parts there so far and they were the lowest on price. Say hi to Dan. He posts on here occasionally. I found them when I decided to get the keyless for my base. I have bought a lot more OEM stuff from them since! I am about to begin a process of taking my base and making it a Mugen fit. I messed up the bumper and that pushed me over the edge since I had to replace the bumper anyways, why not do what I wanted and put a sport bumper on it and get the Mugen exterior accessories? So I am slowly getting the Mugen parts as I can afford them. Integrating the fogs will be fun too... I do plan on starting my own thread once I have all the exterior parts so others can share my experience. -Ray

 

I bought an aftermarket armrest and now I'm selling it. I need the space it takes up for my kids to control the stereo with their iPods. If anyone is interested it's a mod of a popular model. Item number for eBay is 140539840052

 

I remember back in 'nam, this one early morning we put the agent orange in Private Jackson's Cheerieos. Just a typical hazing ritual, until he actually ate the Cheerieos before we could stop him. He was never the same afterwards. I recall as he was in his death throes he mumbled something about 'dealer accesories.... so excitied... can't... wait to... pimp... Scion... ugh...' and then he passed away. To this day I can't seem to decipher what he meant. Maybe he was having a vision from the future?

Anyway, that was my intitial reaction to the thread title. But I can see there is a pupose here, so I digress. I didn't even buy the floormats personally.

 

I got a Blue Sensation Fit Sport. I just recently installed the sport pedals, door sills, and the rear apillque on the bumper.

 

What came with your "Protector 1 Package", and from which dealership? I would also be curious as to whether they made mods/changes to the splash guards, or anything else for that matter.

PLEASE let us know details, and provide pics of your add-ons/mods ASAP, if possible. I'm about to purchase some of those items and don't want to regret any of the purchases.

Thanks!

 

Sean- Did the dealership install splash guards on the front, too? I recently installed the rear splash guards on my Sport & they do not need any modification. They "fit" perfectly.
