Nice, what % tint did you get? I'm thinking about going 35% on the front and 20% on the back on mine. Getting my Thule roof rack next week and wanting to get tint before I go on a road trip in May.

Thanks! I've been debating on getting a roof rack or a hitch. That probably wont happen any time soon, though.

Llumar CTX ceramic rear/sides 5% / 50%
Wincos ceramic on front 78%

I went with ceramic for its heat blocking properties. It gets pretty hot where I'm at. Impressive stuff. It wasn't cheap but I can already tell it was totally worth it. Looks sick, too. My previous car got broken into frequently so I went dark so they cant see whats inside. Saved me from getting the cargo cover.

Here's a shot from the back.

congrats, sounds like some good deals going on for the 2011's with 0.9. I would imagine dealer inventory on fits is low.
keep the pics coming and OTD prices as well.

looks like supply will be low, Honda is to resume production April 11th but production at 50%

Honda will resume production of finished automobiles at Sayama Plant at Saitama Factory (Sayama, Saitama) and Suzuka Factory (Suzuka, Mie) on Monday, April 11, 2011. This means all Honda production plants in Japan will be in operation as of that date.
Honda also will resume production and shipment of component parts for use in production in regions outside Japan on Monday, April 4, 2011.
However, as the parts supply situation remains fluid, production of component parts and vehicles at Honda plants will resume at approximately 50% of the original production plan at the outset. Honda will carefully monitor the situation and manage its operations accordingly.

My dealer said supply would be good until June or July. Then prices will start going up. The .9 Apr is amazing. My total amount of interest is $426 over thd life of my loan

supply is drying up and production only 50% capacity

Traded in my '06 Civic for a 2011 Fit Sport A/T with Navi - Alabaster Silver. $19,300 otd and .9 financing. My bride really wanted me to get a CRV EX-L but I drive about 30 k miles a year and didn't want the extra gas expense. Plus the Fit is just way too much fun to drive! Kinda reminds me of my old GTI I had back in '83(?). I've been lurking on these forums for a while but now that I have the Fit decided to join. Great site - thanks for all the good info.

Picked up a Blue 5-speed sport about 2 weeks ago.

Can't remember what I paid, but it was 0.9% financing for 60 months for $300/month even. I think that works out to like 17,xxx without the finance charges.

Car is decent. If I drive 65mph, I get about 38-39mpg. Drive 75 get about 32-33. Car is fairly unstable at higher speeds on the freeway, but it weighs 2,500lbs. so I expect it. Lots of wind noise. Otherwise, it's neat.

2,100 miles on it already. I thought the oil life meter was broken, as it said 100% until about 1,700 miles.

unstable at high speeds? I never had that problem.
actually i found the fit sport to hug the road extremely well, because of its low stance to the ground and aerodynamics.
It was crazy windy when we drove last summer through Idaho and then through nevada and california. no issues what so ever and put over 5000 miles on my fit during a 3 week period!
5AT, and had no problems driving through the sierra nevada's.

keep the pics of the 2011's coming!
looks like the PMM is a popular color along with the allabaster silver.
So glad they got rid of the blackpearl and tidewater blue....

Pretty much all I do is drive on the highway (150 miles round trip per day).

Just lots of little corrections while putting along. Gets worse over 70. Under 70 its just fine.
