Just bought and received a '15 EX 6M

Hey all,

I just joined the Fit world, coming from the opposite end of the spectrum, a '11 Camaro SS.

I try to be pretty active, and one of the reasons I bought the Fit was to add a roof rack and light hitch for my toys. Anyone have an insight or such of when and where these will become available?

I also want to go for a short shift kit just to add a bit more fun to my daily drive. Any suggestions on this would also be appreciated.

Looking forward to the replies and advice.

Thanks,

Jason

Blue 2015 Fit EX, 6M

Pics? I'd like to get a feel for the blue.

Congrats on your purchase.

Congrats on the purchase and that is quite the switch from a Camaro. For racks buy quality racks. I got yakima for my bike and kayaks. They don't have the clips posted for the 15 yet but I was able to get the 13 clips to work for now.

Your car looks great (obviously).

Love the 6M too. Never enjoyed a car so much and that was so practical.

I just bought a roof rack from AutoZone for only $25. Haven't used it yet though but it appears to be fine in my book for what I'm looking for. Has plenty of adjustment.

Thanks all. What a welcome!

I do have to say that having 30-31 MPG so far with purely city driving is amazing. I just waxed and detailed today. I found a few dealer packaging pieces left about, but I love the blue color. Great in the Florida sun.

My next task is to find window tinting locally for a reasonable price and then I guess wait for the mods and accessories to make this ride "mine". Certainly glad I found this forum.

Thanks all,

Jason

Very nice. How did you work this? Part #s, etc.?

Thanks!

How have the '13 QClips fared over the months? We still have yet to buy them for our '13 but it would stink if we need to buy another set of clips for the two cars? Is the roof and door line much different between the two that it would probably require another $30-$40 for clips?
