i've had my '09 fit sport manual in storm silver for a couple weeks now and i so love this car. I'm in the process of personalizing it and thought i'd comment on the accessories that i've added so far. 1) center armrest. many people on here are incorrectly stating that the full armrest is not compatible with the manual trans. IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH MANUAL TRANS. it's in my car, so i would know. i like the armrest, but it's much smaller than i thought it would be...barely room for my garmin gps in there. 2) all weather floor mats. these are essential in for ohio winters. they are identical in size/shape to the carpet ones and are of excellent quality. 3) rear cargo cover. i wasn't sure i wanted this, since it requires you to add snaps to the rear seats (they have to actually be screwed into the seats) on the '09 fit. and since it just raises up with the hatch (via cables that you connect to the hatch), you can't put anything tall in back of the car without taking the cover out completely, which i guess is no big deal. all in all, i'm glad i have it bc now i can keep stuff out of view. 4) side window visors. i love the way they look on the car...really adds to the sportiness of the profile. i don't think it's a great design, from an installation point of view, but i'm pretty sure they'll stay in place for many yrs. another high quality accessory from honda. i'm thinking of adding some of the interior carbon fiber trim pieces, but i'm afraid it'll wind up looking gaudy. also, i'm definitely gonna add some tint to the windows. there's soo much glass on this car that it really heats up the interior. does anyone know anything about window tinting here? i'm thinkin of doin it myself, but i'd sure regret it if i f*#ked it up! also, what's the law say about tint? what's the darkest shade that's legal? thanks in advance for any and all input! dg

Here is another great site for Honda accessories. Zeta Products in NJ has many parts for subcompacts. I have purchased some of the items for my 05 Scion XB and am very satisfied with all I received. I installed the armrest 3 years ago( actually my 10 year old installed it in about 8 minutes with my direction) and its functioning perfectly. http://www.zetaproducts.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=3

I like the idea of the headlamps being active running lights. But I don't like my rear to be dark. (My Toyota let me leave the running lights switched on all the time and automatically turned them off with the key, but Honda doesn't seem to do this.) So I switch on the running lights whenever I start the engine. This is awkward, even though the car warns me not to leave the lights on after I turn off the key. So I would like to connect the taillights to the circuit that turns on the headlights. This circuit would turn the taillights on and off when I run the car. Where is the best place to change the wiring? [The wiring diagrams do not seem to be published yet.] |

VSA is not available on the 09 base Fit, but most of the sport and base models are the same. I would like to add stability control (VSA) to my base model. What parts would I have to change out to achieve VSA on the base model? (The worst case would cost more than just buying the Sport!)
