Our Raspberry Blue Fit ~ FINALLY!
#21
It's nice to hear someone say something positive about those wheels. One guy on here said they make him puke. LOLOL...the salesman told me they have had nothing but positive comments about the wheels.
In any case, I don't have money right now to be swapping wheels, and my daughter does not care.
I just looked at the 2010 wheels. I can't believe how similar they are...in fact, identical I think.(although there is a slit in each spoke on the 2010's)
You're right, it is a perfect car and color for someone who doesn't like to "fit in" ~ and she does NOT like to fit in. She's always ignored peer pressure, calls herself a nerd, and is proud of it.
Thanks for the positive comments. =o)

Just wanted to add my "congrats" to everyone else's! I love that color! Very cute and what a great car for a young woman. I know I love mine and hope she gets as much enjoyment out of hers, too. I can't believe the gas mileage at times. I've gotten 40 mpg on the highway with a healthy oil level! FTW!!!!

I have a ton of mods that I think would be great. Unfortunately, most of you guys are talented and know how to do the mods yourselves. I would have to hire someone. I wanted to get the headlights done blue. Javafit told me it's really hard to do. I did get an estimate on window tinting for 189.00 for all windows, except the front windshield. That will probably be the first "mod" we will get done. I wouldn't even know who to look for to do mods on her car.

I haven't seen any other Raspberry Blues around here or all of Cincinnati. There are red, silver, and white Fits on on her campus. One is her Professor in Organic Chemistry. Her saw her pics on her Facebook and said the next day, "Well, I see great minds think alike. I saw your FB pics." He drives a red sport Fit.

Amazing- the car looks tealish green in some photos and in others it looks blue- almost like the old Vivid Blue Pearl color of the 2007 & 2008 Fits.

Changing the headlight color is quite a job because the headlights have to be separated (usually by baking in an oven) to get them apart, painting and then re-sealed.

...your emoticons are making me dizzy...

BTW, be prepared to end up driving a Fit yourself. They are addictive. It is the cheapest, least powerful car I have ever owned. Even my motorcycles have/had more power, but we love the darn thing. Our "infection" spread to friends of ours and my parents. There are cars that get better mileage and one's that are more fun, but few strike a good balance between the two.

Congrats and welcome to FF! This is a pretty good site, even thought I'm a troll I plan on staying here because of the vibe I've gotten for the past 1.5+ years.
Great choice for first car for sure

I'm a bit jealous.
My first car was a 15 year old Jetta, in which I replaced every single electrical component haha, and I had to wait 5 years for a Fit of my own lol.
Congrats to you and your daughter, that really is an outstanding color.

That is the best looking and most functional of any "mod" that can be done. I had ours tinted the first week and my Mom, who has a 2011 Fit Sport auto, had hers tinted by the second week. I could not imagine having to drive around in this fishbowl without tinted windows.

I read instructions from the company that makes the headlight film kits and I know I could not do it...if I had fifty kits to play with. I'd have to find someone locally who is experienced at it.

Oh my, I HOPE it's not her last car.

I'm guessing a hair dryer set on high would help get the film to conform to the complex shape. You could also try spray tint. I had great results using VHT Nite-Shades. They make a blue version... softys.ca: VHT Metal Tint Spray
I would certainly recommend testing on a clear piece of plastic first
