I'm not really a modding type of guy for the most part but I'll review my thoughts here:
1. CAI is good for what? 1-2 extra hp to the wheels at best?
2&3. these seem mostly aesthetic to me which if you are into that sort of thing makese sense
4. allows you to affect the throttle? seems kind of neat. anyone tried this out?

These are just what I've noticed are popular from more hours than I'd like to admit of browsing Minkara Carview.
I'm also a designer, so appreciating aesthetic things is something I find value in.

1. With nothing else done? 1-2hp at the crank. Maybe. Throttle response will change though which is nice. Some extra intake noise as well.
2/3 Not my cup of tea, but to each their own on cosmetics
4. Akin to a lighter flywheel, but install is a little easier

The best mods you could do to your Fit (for a performance enthusiast) would be:
Put the car on a diet
Tuning hardware.. AFC, FIC or similar lap top tunable device, otherwise the stock ECU just adjusts based on abnormal sensor feedback, giving you no gains for your expensive parts.
Light weight stock size wheels with light, soft tires in a 50 or smaller aspect ratio.
Throttle controller
Colder spark plugs
0w Oil
Lightweight flywheel with a light pucked clutch disc
Clutch Delay Valve delete for GD's, or new Clutch Master Cylinder for GEs
Brembo rotors with Hawk HPS pads or similar Password rotors, and duralast pads, or EBC would work fin as well, and Motul Dot 4 or 5 fluid. Maybe some SS lines for the track guys.
Beefy rear sway bar
Chassis Bracing, frame and in cabin
Shielded/boxed short ram intake
4-2-1 exhaust manifold
Highflow Cat or B-pipe depending on your emissions requirements
Nice straight through resonator (or 2) and a quiet free flowing muffler.
Depending on how you drive the car, a big cam and springs from Bisimoto could be worthwhile. For a purely street car, you should keep the stock cam.
This is about the most I would bother with on an N/A Fit as they would yield the most significant results vs. cost and then there is the law of diminishing returns, which is a real bitch on engines this small.
Which is why I would hold off on most of that, save your money and just boost it.
Where you might squeeze an extra 15-20hp at the crank out of a 4.6L V8 Mustang, a 3.8L GNX, or a 5.7L Vette for a given mod, you would be lucky to see 5hp on our 1.5L SOHC's and as things become more efficient gains are harder to come by.
