3. Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust (Sound, yet quite)
4. Mugen Shift Knob
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
No particular order except 4... hahaha
-Kraftwerks Supercharger (More power!)
-Megan or Spoon Mid-Pipe
-Megan or Mugen header
-Eventually Yellow Fog Lamp Covers (Protection)
-Lowering Springs (TBD)
-Rims (TBD)

I am planning on using the fit as a commuter vehicle/cargo hauler, and as such am mostly interested in mods that will either improve fuel efficiency, make the vehicle more comfortable, or improve the cargo carrying abilities. I have already gotten the all weather floor mats (I work at a concrete company, and the resulting sludge would tear up the floors without them), the cargo liner tray, and am planning on getting the cargo shade cover. I am looking into lighting options, as the dome light is insufficient in my opinion, and things to tweak the fuel efficiency even higher, possibly an intkae or something similar. I do occasionally drive for fun, and wouldn't mind a few additions such as a sway bar, but that is nowhere in the near future.

I did my first mods to my Fit last night. I replaced the upper red running lights (194 bulbs) with a pair of WLED-R6 red LED bulbs. I also had a spare couple of blue tinted incandescents (also type 194), and I popped those in the upper sockets in the headlight housings; those are just temporary though, as I'll be replacing them with blue WLED-B5's (wide angle spread). EDIT: D'oh! I didn't realize they came on with the headlights; I thought they were just for the alarm. blue lights are illegal (in CA, and most other states) if visible from outside the vehicle, so I'll be putting white LEDs in those sockets instead.
Both my first car (a '68 Buick Skylark Custom) and my last car ('02 Saturn L300) had problems with melted plastic in the tail light assemblies, so I'm planning on converting to LEDs as much as possible.
And that's only the beginning.
I'm still reading through the many helpful posts on this forum before I compile my list of other mods. My goals are to maximize fuel economy and handling. Are there options for replacing the transmission with a 6 speed?
