There are some minor changes to the 2012. You can not buy any exterior front spoiler that weren't specifically built for the 2012 since the front bumper is a little different. But for all other internal modifications, they should be interchangeable. I have a 2012 and I've already installed a Mugen short shifter, autodimming rear view mirror, retrofitted my headlamps with HID projectors and am in the process of installing the JDM rear headlights.

 

I saw that JDP engineering has two front lips available for the GE8. I am guessing the first one on the list is for the 2012's but I am not sure. Any one able to confirm or deny?

 

Well, yeah. A turbo would be super. But won't we need to use a higher octane gas? I'm kinda behind on auto technology so please bear with me.

 

Looks like the first one is for the 2009-2011 Sport and the second is for the base model. 2012 lips aren't on their website yet.

 

^ JDP doesn't make a lip for the 2012 unless they get enough interest. Should be about 10 people that are committed to it.

Anyways, I just picked up a 2012 TW AT last Friday!

 

Do you think there are enough 2012 owners out there right now that would be interested? Or...do you think they are going to make one anyways because they have made one for every other model?

 

Well here's the thing. As I've seen on this forum, many people flake out once it's time to actually submit a payment. JDP made the lip for the Fit base after 10 people put a deposit down on it. He'll also need someone in his area (I suppose I'd be willing too) to design and test fit the lip.

I actually found this thread:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gaug...front-lip.html

Also mentions it would be ~$275 for it.

 

Congrats to all of you new 2012 owners! They all look great! If anyone has some 2012 Sport wheels that that would like to unload, please send me a PM. They will look great on my black 2009 Fit sport and I am looking to buy a set. Thanks! I am in the VA/DC area.

 

Got mine mid-December. MT 18,075 OTD. Put coverking custom seat covers and bought a thule roof rack system to "Jazz" her up. : p Also got Weathertech digital fit all weather mats. I have an extra set they sent me in black, if anyone in the Los Angeles area is interested in taking them off my hands for a much cheaper than retail price, let me know. fifty6inches@gmail.com

 

just got my tw 2012 fit sport 5mt last weekend. 18,600 otd.

 

Thanks to everyone who gave advice on breaking it in. When we purchased the vehicle, I asked the sales person about it. He said that modern cars are so technologically advanced that you don't need to do anything. So I'm just driving it like normal for now. BTW, we love it! Much peppier than I thought from the test drive and I just LOVE the windows and huge field of view. It's almost like being outside...

 

Congrats, post pics of your new 2012 fits and OTD prices.
Still haven't seen a 2012 Fit with Navi on here!

 

Whats up guys! Just picked up my new 2012 Milano Red fit sport. 5 speed manual! one of 13 in the country. Paid $3500 out the door (traded in my 2004 corvette) Soo happy with this car!!

 

Looks Nice! Haven't seen a Milano Red Fit for awhile here on the board. What type of shifter knob is on it? Doesn't look factory.

Are you saying there are only 13 FIT MT cars at dealers in the US?

 

Beautiful car, best looking of the Fits. Well.....it looks just like mine except for the area of the transmission.

One thing we have been trying to get used to-when you stop at the light there is no engine sound. It is quiet in gear with the foot brake applied. There is no vibration and so you think the car has stalled.

Our Red Fit goes on its first long maiden voyage, around 500 miles. Curious to see the freeway mpg. In town it is getting 28-29 mpg. Wonder what the sweet spot speed will be to get in the high 30's on the freeway?

We also got the J D Power survey for new car owners. It listed all the possible problems. We have had none. The only area that we added was the problem with cross winds at higher speeds.

 

Yea, the Fit is darn quiet when idling. I've been averaging 34-35mpg with FWY driving at 60 to 65 MPH. My over all average has been creeping up to 31MPG since my initial 26MPG when I first bought it.

 

I checked the car fluids for the first time. When I checked the oil, the fluid on the stick did not look like oil. It was almost clear. Is this some kind of break in fluid?

 

I've read a few threads on the forum mentioning the factory fill is break-in oil. I would say yes!

 

The shift knob is actually a knob I bought for my old acura rsx type s. The thread on the shifter is the same for all honda's, so it fit right on. It has a really nice weighted feel to it. Its made by Karcepts. Heres the link if your interested

And no, there is only 13 Milano red Fit Manual trans cars in the US. I was very lucky as this one was on the lot, right by my house

 

it really scared me at first! I thought the car stalled on my lol. I looked down and it was still running! This car is soo quiet! I am averaging about 32.9 Combined city and highway driving. Its deffinently a change from my corvette which was getting 20 combined and costing me $60 bucks to fill up every time with premium.
