I would like to have an alternative side skirt for the sport that is much much less obtrusive. That or a dealer approved and installed cruise for the base model.

That would be a very boring world.
Even if some "riced out" Fit's seen on the road look stupid, it's still better than no creativity at all.

there is nothing wrong with driving a stock fit, there is something wrong driving a riced out hideous against nature fit.
creativity is one thing, stupidity is another.

Rice is the act of posturing as if one is fast when one is not. This includes non-functional hoodscoops, non-functional aero, big wings, fart can axle-back exhausts, CF hoods on cars with 200lbs of ICE, NOS stickers, fire extinguishers on daily drivers, etc...
That's all non-functional stuff that is on there because people want it to LOOK functional....it's a LIE. Consequently, if I want a WALD grille on my Fit, it isn't intended to be functional at all, it's just on there because I like how it looks, thus making it NOT rice, because I'm not trying to fool anyone.
Example: By your definition, if I had an E55 and I decided that a Brabus grille would look nice, I'd be a ricer, which is f@#king preposterous, because it's a mod that "doesn't do anything for the car".
This goes the other way too. If someone had a 900rwhp JZA80 Supra, and they wanted to put a big honkin' touring wing on it....then it wouldn't be rice at all, because 900rwhp cars need downforce.

minor mods like grills, no one really cares, 99% people wont even notice.
and in your situation, honda fit with a grill = no one even notice. a honda fit with grill, taillights, rain visor, jdm mirrors, wide view mirror, interior bulbs, emblems, etc = riced out.

We need relaxed cruising.

You guys want a 6 speed transmission. That's overkill for a low-output engine. You will have to downshift evertime you climb a low grade hill on the freeway. Might as well vouch for a large motor and uprated drivetrain.

I think HKS needs to make a complete exhuast system for the car, from the engine block all the way to the muffler. I want Mugen to develop an airbox, too.

The notion of "rice" is completely overblown. Most people have their own definition for it, and they're all crap.
The really comic thing about Imprezza owners getting on your case for "rice" is that so many of them used to own Civics with big wings and big exhausts. Now that they've moved on to a car that has a big turbo as well as a big wing and big exhaust, they think they're somehow superior, and deny their "rice" roots. Looks to me like AWD turbo sedans are the new "rice", the new fad for the same set of people.
