Hey guys whats up, here's my 07 Fit its pretty much stock as of now, except the awesome mod of hub-cap removal . My plans for the car are Rota Slipstreams, audio, tint, and other look good mods because you aren't going to make a fit fast kekeke . The things i do in it are drive to work, lug around the mountain bike, and drive around the crew. Why should i win? I definitely don't have the nicest Fit here, or even close, but why not start me off in the right direction with a very nice mod to spark the mod-crazy mindset, so i can go crazy from there, and also i need moar HP! my friends in their Spec-V's and WRX's go fast and i can never keep up with them! Im always behind them and get lost and shiz.
So thanks for reading this and good luck to all, but pick me!

well heres the story, i bought the fit in reguards to technical failure of my prior vehicle. but since ownership i dont see myself straying away from hondas.
first we can start by showing some pictures of my fit as is today...



then we'll move on to what we spend most of our time doing driving...




she entertaind me for hours with that mp3 cd capability...

also usually i drive with the windows down but we are in fire season in reno so i let her filter my air...

then she brings me to work usually twice a day both at ups in the morning than starbucks in the afternoon...


than during my off time the fit does her best to cope with my extra activities, like movie night...

or to stop and glance at the beautiful view...

than maybe she'll hold my bike to a trip up to the hills...

than just well you get the idea...


in all of six months time i have used the fit for all sorts of things, as well as the obvious of driving her. the gas mileage is great and gets me to work hastly, since both of my jobs are no where near where i live. she also does well in storing all the things ive put in her from groceries,

to an entire move about three months ago where she was jam packed with boxes to the cieling, which i wish i had taken photos of. but anyway shes a great little daily driver that looks good and sound fast. and as for mods, and all that goody list of stuff well, just look and see.

thanks for taking the time to read my post.

This is my Honda Fit....







Me and my GF share the Honda; we bought it because she is learning how to drive manual and we needed an easy to drive, good on fuel, ridiculously versitile, reliable & sharp looking car.... there pretty much isn't another car out there that fits that wrap!

We were driving this (see picture below). This was my baby before. Soooo hard to give up.


Things I like do to do with my car and how it fits into my life:

Well I have have a new-found love to hot-rod


I also need my car to commute to work, and occasionally rub shoulders with Jeff & Dale on the track.


But mostly my car is my ultimate saving tool, we are moving to our first home soon. The jeep was a money pit and the Honda is more like a piggy bank. Hope you enjoyed

Here is a pic of my future home! ETA next Sept!

When i heard Honda was bringing over the Fit almost 2 years ago I decided then that I would have one. This car was going to take over the duties my S2000 was covering, which was basically driving me to work and back home. Miles,TIRES, the ridiculous gas prices made it even more of a easy choice about buying one. 2 months before the Fit was released for sale I got the chance to drive one around a autocross track and that sealed the deal. 1 month before the release day for the fit I found out that we were receiving a Tafetta White Sport MT. I jumped on it! We received the car on april 18th, however I could not purchase the car until Honda's release date of 4/20. Thursday rolled around and I went into the dealership on my day off and drove the car home.

This is where it all started. I do ALOT of buying and selling of new and used car parts. The Fit is able to fit Everything I have thrown at it so far. I am a very big wheel whore! I have had to transport 6 sets of wheels, 2 Hoods, 2 exhausts, a couple spoilers, a bunch of boxes, and a lowrider bike. Not to mention that I use the tailgate as a seat alot when parked at meets. Most of the time I dont have any passengers except for maybe 1.

Now stepping into the Fit from a S2000 is a BIG differrence. Now I started with all The bolt-ons, and added a supercharger. This helped to get the power pretty liveable for me. Im pretty happy with the way the car moves. I also have Full coilovers, strut bars F/R, Lower tie Bar and C pillar bar so it will handle on the twisties. The handling is superior to that of my S2000.

My Fit also really captures my personality in the way I modded it. I dont mod my car particularly to what is "in style". I do to my car what I think would look nice and clean. Some may not like the direction I took with my car, but that doesnt really matter to me because I like what I did.

Overall the Fit in its stock form sort of fits me, however with the Mods I have added the Fit not only fits me, it is a extension of me and my personality.

I do everything on this car, The only things I did not install were the Supercharger and the coilovers because they were of course prototypes.

Here is Contanza from the begining
My mods are :
Exterior:
OEM Black Headlights
5000K Bi-Xenon HIDs

To start off i am going to be a daddy and that is the best thing thats happening for me now. I remember looking around January of last year for a small affordable car and had an eye for the XB, XA and yaris...the Fit was mentioned by my father and no doubt killed the other choices. Since then i have been having alot of fun with it and even have been to a handful of auto-x events with my mildly tuned suspension. i was a 240sx freek and RX-7 fanatic and loved my F/R set-ups. The Fit being my 1st front drive was weird, but not to an extent cause i had friends with hondas and drove them around to see the difference. The Fit for me is a great platform car to tune and dress up cause it has alot of potential. Being the only Fit in south florida that does auto-x is pretty cool too since i have gotten a trophy for 4th place out of 11 at one event. My Fit is a daily driver and grocery getter, not to mention take a pregnant women all around town who does not complain about how my car rides even it being lowered, you gotta love your set-up. Some people drive cars that they dont like...to hell with that crap man cause i love the FIT!!!!!

INTERIOR
OEM SHIFTKNOB

My name is Robert Cantu. I'm in Southern California.

I bought the Fit for my wife. We are expecting our first kid in July and I wanted a roomy compact car. My wife can't drive well and already damaged 2 cars (see pics below). Myself being 6' 1" need a roomy car inside but my wife being a foot shorter than me needs something that's not big on the outside. I like less common cars and this was what I picked. Of course the headroom is much greater than the regular cars out there and that's an added benefit when babies are involved. The doors opening wide open are definitely a plus too. The airbags and superb braking are another. Too many pluses in this car. Oh and the ease of parking.

This car is also one of the best mpg cars I own. I don't have pics of myself and the Fit but I do have it with my truck (see below again). That thing gets me 10mpg. lol

I wanted my kid to be stunting a little so I did a few mods. Here's the list:

BMW 3 series HIDs and blacked out housing (ALL BLACK) (pics and 1 video below)

T1R intake
Cusco front and rear strutbars, Comp S coilovers
Spoon 16inch wheels, wing, antenna, reservoir covers
JDM style led taillights
Braille battery w billet mount
J's Racing c-pillar bar, 50RR titanium catback
Mugen window visor and door sills
35% tint all around
Maxxis 205/45/16 tires
















here's pics. sorry i'm not a pro at this.

I own 2 car washes and needed to purchase another car which got great gas mileage and can store a lot of crap in the back. I purchased it in May and have 5000 miles now and really love the car. It really helps me around the car wash and for my blog. As you can tell I did not purchased the floor mats so super base stock.

boy do I wish I had pics of my fit with my wife's 8' longboard hanging out the back.

Anyways, my fit is simple. I use it to commute on a daily basis from Lake Elsinore to Ontario. 68 miles round trip. Drop the kids off at school in Corona. Exactly what I bought it for.....commuting.

On the weekends, we often take it to the beach or just put around town. but the one "person" who loves the fit more than me, is my dog...sadie. Her and I will take trips to the lake so she can swim. Other things I use the fit for is delivering wheels. I work for a European Wheel manufacturer. And we have particular customers who require their wheels to be off base colors. that requires me to drive my fitter to OC to have the wheels stripped, then down to Elsinore for powder coating.

Now for the "mods". Ummmmmm, don't really have any flashy mods like alot of others do. I kept it simple because I have a budget. My wife and 2 kids play a role in that budget.

1. PIAA Yellow Fogs
2. Seibon SP Wing
3. 6000 HID
4. Spoon Antenna
5. T1R LED Dome Light
6. REAL JDM Tail Light Assy (yet to be installed )
7. Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's. 15x7 +40et Bronze
8. Fake Mugen Visors

oh almost forgot

9. One off AFE Drop in Filter

I just want to add, it will be waaaaaaaaaay easier for me seeing as I drive thru Norco EVERY DAY!!!

Hi! My name is Polly. I got my Blaze Orange Metallic Fit in November 2006 as a really early graduation present but it was also because there was no airbags on my very first car, a '90 mitsubishi galant. For my safety, buying the Fit was the way to go! My dad and I drove all the way to Riverside from Rosemead, which is about a 40 minute drive, just to purchase my Fit. I use my Fit daily to drive to work and to school. I take my Fit wherever I go like to the beach, mall, market, friend's house, Disneyland with my family, etc. I just graduated from high school and this coming school year is going to be my first year in college. I'm going to Cal Poly Pomona and I will be commuting. Since I have my Fit, I will save a lot of gas driving about 20 miles to school everyday for the next 4 years. I love my Fit and how great it is for me because it is short all around on the outside, but really roomy on the inside since I'm tiny. After signing up on Fitfreak, I have been making plans for the past months on buying mods like springs, led tail lights, hids, and new rims for my car, but unfortunately, I have not saved enough money for any yet, so as of now, my Fit is completely stock except for the tinted windows that my dad got for me. My Fit to me is like my own moving bubble/room where I can just relax, have some privacy, blast my music, and go wherever my Fit takes me.

This was the night I first got my Fit. This picture was taken at the Riverside Honda Dealer.






I gotta have a picture IN my car






The White Fit is my sister's boyfriend's car.




My Fit and my friends' cars in my high school's student parking lot


She's all nice and clean after a bath

L.A. Fit

I was one of the lucky ones who got a Fit last year when all of them were sold out before they hit the dealership lots. This is my second Honda. I'm one of the video game reps in Los Angeles. I work for one of the Big three video game console makers. I'll give you a hint - 360. I use the Fit everyday for work because I drive to a lot of the video game stores in the city and do what company reps do to keep the products selling. My fit is mostly stock with a few mods. I constantly get people who ask what kind of car do I have. This car always gets smiles from the curious.

MODS:

-16 in. wheels
-BF Goodrich G Force tires
-Mugen bumper lip (I'm getting it painted next week)
-Fujita Short Ram Intake
-C-pillar and front up strut bars
-Mugen window visors and rear spoiler
-Titanium stainless burnt tip muffler
