Hello Fit Freaks,

New guy here from Southern Cali. About 2 months ago I got the itch to purchase a honda fit since my 07 Tacoma drinks gas like crazy (Averaging 14mpg). My mom owns a 2013 and I've driven it a few times and love how economical it is and very easy to work on as well. My first vehicle was a 93 Honda Accord EX 4 door, I really enjoyed that car, but it got totalled back in 04. Well I wanted to get back to my Honda roots lol, so a few days ago I ended up buying this 09 from the 2nd owner. It only has a little over 35k miles with dealer installed leather seats and sunroof. Im very glad I ran into this forum, so many cool mods and some very nice looking Fits!!

The day I bought it



My mods and fixes:

Homelink maplight mod
Start X Remote start
Ceramic Tint
Husky Floor liners (not much of a mod)
Kenwood DMX7790s radio
Replaced AC Blower motor along with resistor
Different grille with JDM red emblem
Steering wheel audio control mod

Currently working on:

Adding 2nd light to hatch area

Future mods or add ons:

Retrofit Headlights
Acura flip key fob
Window wind deflectors
Sound deadening the interior

I don't want to spend too much on it since I need to finish project car haha 87 Monte Carlo SS. Currently doing a full frame resto on that.

 

Found this grille a few weeks back at my local wrecking yard and had to give it some life back.

I love that grill. Welcome to the club!

 

Thank you!

 

Worked on the first part of the steering wheel audio controls. Tomorrow I'll be running the wires from the clock spring to the radio. I might go to the local salvage yard and cut part of the radio harness out to use some of the pins.


Measuring the wires

Wire connections

All done
