What do you want for your fit?
If you could ask any company to make a part for your Fit, what part would you want developed?
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.

I want: (all on a black/black Fit Sport 5AT)
A set of these rims: (Work Equip 03)

WALD Aero Grille:

A set of window visors: (yes, this pic is of the Fit part)

A set of these: (JDM LED Tails)

And a set of these: (JDM LED power folding mirrors)

Other stuff too, stupid interior bits, etc...
As for actual mechanical/performance stuff, I hesitate to list anything as I haven't yet driven the car and thus can't conclusively say what it needs. I could ramble off a big parts list, but it's silly to begin performance modifications on a car that one has never driven. I know that I'd like a JDM rear disc brake conversion though. I don't expect to do much, if any, power tuning, as I'll have a 300hp S13 coupe for that. I just want the car to be able to run reliably at or near redline for extended periods (so cooling mods), and I want good braking and handling (so brakes, suspension, and TIRES!!!).
Do we have the all red Hazard switch? If not, I'll want that.
In typical fashion, I will likely position a preposterously large stuffed animal in the rear of the car looking out at cars behind me (Doraemon, Pikachu, Domokun, etc....), as it creeps people out, and I'm all about that.
Then there's the stuff I do to every car I own:
-Broadway 300mm convex rearview mirror
-Air Spencer "Squash" Air Freshener
-Blue dome light bulb
-Black out all emblems/badging (on black cars, anyway, otherwise I just remove it)
I've never owned an automatic, but I'm 100% certain that I'll be adding a beefy B&M transmission fluid cooler, so that auto tranny will last forever. I may very well do an engine oil cooler as well, depending on how much I like the driving dynamics (and thus how often I will drive it hard).
I also tend to like to fly small flags (parts companies, rising sun, etc...) from my radio antenna, but I suppose that if I go with an S2000-style antenna, I won't be able to do that.
I'd like to fab up some sort of toolbox that is custom-designed to "Fit" in the Fit (I know, bad pun). Complete with foam-lined drawers with cutouts for tools so stuff won't rattle. This would be my support vehicle for track days, and so I want a place for everything and everything in it's place.
A custom-made, cut-to-fit mat to lay across the entire rear of the car (so hatch area and area of rear seats folded down) will be needed too, so I can put a complete spare set of rims/tires in the car without damaging the interior, when need be.

Anyway, I <3 ElGrands. I'm big into the whole vanning-zoku thing, hence my need to take a Fit and do it up bosozoku style.
I was going to hold out for the Nissan Cube, but it appears that the version we're getting isn't the current one. The new one will be more "rounded", and God knows what it'll look like......

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.

yeah I would love heated mirrors. im not sure about the gas capacity though.
i agree that there may be riced out fits, but it all depends on your definition of rice. i mean look at all the D1 drift cars out there. total rice looking, but they are sweet. beauty is in the eye the beholder.
i know mine is going to (hopefully) be: A blue 5MT Sport Fit with white Buddy Club P1 Racing wheels, J's Racing Carbon Fiber hood (although I heard fitment issues), JDM LED Tails, lowered, and have a bunch of Mugen and J's Racing goodies.
