Here is my Opinion.

Orange is limited to Sports model, so chances are a lot of the sports out there will be orange

Silver is good, its not too obvious when its scratched, dirty.. and has good resale value.

I have a black fit, its AWESOME, but cleaning is a PAIN. As soon as u wax the car, your car starts collecting dust already.

WHy not get white? White with Tint is nice, and later down the road, put CF Hood and you have the classic Spoon look =)

I'll PM Ricky maybe? LOL
that's only if they would approve me +_+
richmond honda told me when income isn't meeting the bank's requirement, they expect like 2k-3k
and my dad has like millions loans with him, so he can't do much either

nah.....since ricky has already spent his time (and risked his life) teaching me driving a manual, I really shouldn't ask for more
plus he's going to give me the wheel lock free of charge finally, and I will see if he's getting the weather mat without deducting my rebate. If not, I am not taking it

actually I have only seen one orange so for @w@
I personally like the 1st Gen orange a lot better....

silver looks nice, but I think there are just way too many silver cars on the road +_+

I think the floor mats are like basic freebies, haha
when I talked to kingsway honda, they were willing to give me the mat too
but they didn't tell me too much about how do I lower my monthly payment and other rebates, so I didn't bother keep on asking

it's like taking an arm and a leg from me to put a bigger down payment +w+
I guess I will just stick with the current amount

Save the money, dun do Undercoating... its ABSOLUTELY pointless and a waste of money because

1) You dun need it in Lower Mainland - theres hardly any roadsalt on the road in the winter, the last winter comes ones every 14 years anyway.

2) Your car is a lease, its going back to the dealer after the term anyway. It makes no sense to spend the on the undercoating~

3) Undercoating does not dramatically reduce road noise. FOr the price u are paying, u can ACTUALLY go to soundworks / soundsgood to do an ACTUALY sound proofing (aka Dynamat)

Save the money, go for something more practical like HID or tint~

Get the cargo cover , i think its better to have taht then the cargo tray. If you can ask for the CF stuff taht will be great too. I dunno, most Factory stuff aint too appealing to me - everythign goes later down the road anyway =P

nonono, mine is going to be picked up on tuesday ^_^

I can't get leather seats
cuz I have two dogs, and their claws will definitely scratch the seats
plus bad thing about leather seats is that it's hot in the summer and cold in the winter +w+

hmmm.......I really don't know what other accessories to get from them
sport pedals? but I will get mine from elsewhere after I get used to driving manual. I am so beginner right now~~
like guinness say, the factory stuff aren't that appealing, haha

I just hope I don't burn my clutch before I can drive smoothly lol

not really.....cuz I am a new grad who just entered the work force, paying everything for myself. I am pretty much broke after I get my Fit +_+

plus I am not really thinking of doing anything to it yet
the only possible things that I might do in the future is to tint the windows and lowering it, but my friend keeps on warning me it's a pain when the car is lowered lol so I don't know if I am really going to do it

by the way... when you finally paid for your car.. were there any additional fees that you had to pay..? like the documentation fee and something called security documentation fee? anything like that? and how much was it? cuz im asking for a total break down of the payment.. and i realized there are additional charges compare to what i appraised online... there are like a 1k difference.. did you know anything about that? i just feel like im getting ripped from the salesman... although i put down my deposit already.. but i still wanna figure it out.. LOL.. thanks
