I have 3 08 Fit Sports. I bought the bumper applique from H&A Accessories.com in California for really cheap, about $35 plus shipping or maybe $40. I followed the instructions and installed it on all 3 cars. On 2 of the installs, I did have a couple very small air bubbles, probably 1/16" across. I popped those bubbles with a needle and forced the air out with the scraper tool and you can't even see that threre was evera a bubble. I've seen Honda dealers charge $79 for the same accessory installed by them - don't pay for it, do it yourself and save about $40.

Well, i've got this installed and I'm VERY happy with it. Charges the iPod beautifully, and I not only have full control over the iPod, but i have some control over it with the factory stereo. Nice combination! I've got the iPod cable going through the 'blank' in the base fit's console that was reserved for the stock Aux Jack in the sport. I punched out the blank and cut a piece of black velcro to fit nicely over the open hole. The wire passes through that and rests nicely in the open console box right nearby, ready for the iPod to be plugged in. I'm very happy with this!

I bought my Fit with the accessory 16" rims and still have the original 15" tires, which are still brand new and have never seen pavement... if anyone is interested in acquiring the Dunlop S37 tires (I live in the Boston area), you can email me at geney at comcast dot net. The 15" rims I'm saving for snow tires.

Spoiler on Sport Honda Fit

I'm trying to decide between the Base and Sport 2009 Fit. I plan to put a roof rack on either to carry a small cartop aluminum boat(100-200 pounds). Is there a chance the spoiler could be knocked off when loading onto a roof(if for example the Spoiler is welded on)? Anyone have any comments on this?

I purchased a vinyl covered armrest (it comes in leather as well) that is a perfect match with the Fit's interior. check out www.woodcompany.com
I think I paid roughly $115.00 and it was very easy to install.

The best aftermarket cruise control are made by Rostra Precision Controls. They plan to have a Dash Mount Cruise kit part # 250-1896 available 9-15-08 through local dealers. This unit will be more expensive than for most cars and will work on AT transmissions only. The street installed price should be $385 to $625.

Thanks for the info. I received a bid from the wood company for 109 Euro or about 159.00 including shipping. My concern was how well the screws went into the plastic cupholder and how well it held. My wife told me to hold off for now as she may want the replacement console which is 300.00.

Well, the screws in the cup holder are 3 - 4 inches in length. They really took hold. More importantly, the weigh is not on the back of the arm rest where the screws are, but on the armrest itself. I had it in place for over a year now and have had no issues.

Why don't you wire it in to the assessories poztion of the radio, then splite the wire some where add an inline fuse and a switch. its better and easyer to wire in to the wirering that the stock radio uses, than the ignition switch. make sure that you use the regulator or you could have a fire. don't worry about the radio unless you have an aftter market reciever. most people don't know that aftermarket reciever are never the right voltage and resistance, there independence is there for screwy. The best stereo systems out there are wired off the battery as a new circuit.
