#196 of 634 Radio in Base Fit by mattschechter Jun 20, 2006 (9:58 am)
Does anyone know what model number the radio in the base fit is?

Replying to: hungarian83 (Jun 20, 2006 6:31 am) Huge difference if the tank was placed between the rear wheels, because the rear wheels would significantly reduce the chance of the tank coming into contact with the ground. If the tank was between the front and rear wheels (where it is on the Fit), you could potentially expose the tank to damage simply by straddling a large speed bump (especially if the car was weighted down by people or cargo). And, as others have noted here, there isn't a whole lot of ground clearance on the Fit. Replies to this message: hungarian83 (Jun 20, 2006 5:53 pm) bodble2 (Jun 20, 2006 9:32 pm)

Replying to: bprenderson (Jun 20, 2006 7:35 am) I've looked at this one and one that I saw at Pep Boy's website. That one was auto dimming, compass, maplights and (as I recall) had outside temp. It looked exactly like the one I have in the Unlimited - I love it. I haven't yet talked to them about installing it, but that's the one I'd like.

Replying to: bodble2 (Jun 20, 2006 11:22 am) First, sorry for confusion on the front/rear wheels. I was referring to cars that had the gas tank in front of the rear axle (both of my previous cars), and not between/around it.   "you could potentially expose the tank to damage simply by straddling a large speed bump"   Good point, but no. I decided to look under the car myself and check. There is what appears to be a thick, strong beam on either side of the fuel tank. In the event that you found a speed bump that is extremely high, the car would rest upon these two beams (and the rest of the chassis). The fuel tank would not be even scratched. Mounted at the same level as those beams is a large plastic shield that guards the fuel tank. The fuel tank itself is a little ways above that. There is even a metal shield for the area where the filler pipe connects with the tank. From looking at the bottom of the car, I can say that anything that could damage the Fit's centrally-mounted tank would be the same things that could damage any car's tank...large rocks, debris, etc.   ...and regarding the straddling a speed bump, the Fit is actually not too low. In the parking lot at my work, there is a large speed bump that I have actually hit the bottom of the car with in a Dodge Stratus carrying three adults. I have gone over the same bump with my Fit (with five adults) and nothing happened.   Don't worry! Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jun 20, 2006 9:32 pm)

#201 of 634 exhaust finisher accessory by elladine Jun 21, 2006 (11:28 am)
i was wondering if anyone purchased this yet? i was thinking of getting it for mine just for looks of course, make my sporty more sporty looking. i was wondering though if anyone has, do you notice any kind of change in the sound of the muffler? i know it's not a completely new muffler or anything, but iw as wondering if adding it on changed the sound at all.
#202 of 634 dumb question by cmk Jun 21, 2006 (1:36 pm)
Wheel covers are wheel covers, right?   These hubcaps would go on base fit, right?   If so, they look like a nice alternative. Replies to this message: bodble2 (Jun 21, 2006 2:44 pm)

Replying to: cmk (Jun 21, 2006 1:36 pm) I think as long as the bolt holes line up with the lug nut pattern (which I think they should), then you're ok. The one on the far right should look pretty sharp on the Fit. However, that still won't rectify the fact that the stock 14" tire/wheel just look too dinky on the Fit.

I have added one to my Sport Fit. It looks neat, but I haven't noticed any difference in the sound of the exhaust. boatfloyd Replies to this message: elladine (Jun 21, 2006 5:46 pm) jonniedee (Jun 22, 2006 4:45 am)
