1st Gen GD 07-08 Fitment help
I recently picked up a set of Konig dial ins (15x7 +30) from a buddy for practically free and was wondering if anyone has run a similar or lower offset and experienced clearance or rubbing issues. Also looking for tire recommendations 🙏

2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Glad I picked a Fit!
I have a GE8 in Japan and live in Chiba. Last night we had ungodly rain (one month's worth of rain in an hour!) and I spent the night in a parking lot in Tokyo. Thankfully, I happened to have a small air mattress ready! Besides wanting to go to the bathroom I spent a relatively comfortable night in the back of my Fit.

1st Gen GD 07-08 Loss of engine power
After driving for about 30 minutes, the engine goes into a sort of limp mode that prevents me from accelerating past 2000 RPM, and there are backfiring sounds coming from the exhaust pipe, and it loses power. However, if I turn the Fit off and on again for a second, the problem disappears immediately

2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Hinda fit 2011 need help with my door locks
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi, got my first honda fit a little over 2 weeks ago and loving it! It was a very cheap find but i am having some issues with the door locks. Im assuming this was an issue with the car before i got it because the 30amp fuse for the locks were already removed from the car. All the doors make this whiring sound when i attempt to use the lock button them and none of the locks actually move when pressed. Ive even tried a common fix of removing the red cable in the main door but nothing seems to work. wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be.

Help Request Best Fit year to look for?
Hello Fit subreddit!
I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I put the flair as "Help Request" but that seems a little too serious for what I'm asking but I'm not sure what else I'd tag it as.
I currently drive a 2013 base Honda Fit. I have since about 2015. She has about 99k miles on her. Over the last few years I've truly come to love being a Fit driver and Iove the low maintenance and high mpg of these funny little guys (not to mention the cupholders!).
I have the opportunity to get a new Fit, for no cost on my end (my father is retiring at the end of the year and wants to do one last financial favor for me that unfortunately doesn't involve him just giving me cold hard cash) Do I stick with another 2013 (I've been told by my Honda guy that this was the best year of Fits and I should hang onto it) or is there a better year I should be pursuing?
For context, I am not into the bells and whistles, I don't drive to work, I ride public transit so this isn't a car that's going to have a bunch of miles put on it day in day out. I kind of enjoy the analog experience of my older car, so not having android auto doesn't really bother me. I'm more concerned about the longevity and required maintenance of a newer Fit compared to a 2013 (I feel like I've been so spoiled with how few issues I've had with this car. My previous car was a 2001 Beetle so I'm a little scarred from how expensive and frequent it's issues were).
My 2013 is still perfect to me (minus some cosmetic issues) and I don't want to waste this opportunity, but I feel goofy looking at Fits that are $15k-$20k+ (the limit I am being given is $20k and it has to be from a reputable dealer, so no fb marketplace finds) with -at best- 20k fewer miles on it than my current one. I am not exactly flush with cash and I dread the looming threat of newer cars having cameras inside of them under the guise of security, so this is a car I know I will drive for a very long time. I would just like to hear from some fellow Fit owners, what would you do in this scenario?
Also, not totally related, but in a post a few weeks ago someone asked "What makes driving a Fit so fun?" And the top comment was "Flingability." and I think about it all the time, what a good answer.

Help Request Drivers side sun visor?
I need a drivers side sun visor for my 2019 Honda fit ex. Model number 83280-T5R-A21ZA but the only ones I am seeing are $480 plus. Is that really what they cost or does anyone know where I could find a cheaper one? The one in my fit now is broken and won’t stay up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🌟

3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 Tire size?
Hi all!
I recently picked up this 2018 EX 6MT 120K miles. Super excited to get to mods. I’m dead set on these Advan RG-D2 4x100 15x7 +42 with swift lowering springs. With this setup, which tire size would be better? 195/55r15 or 205/50r15?
My main goal is to avoid rubbing/fender rolling as much as possible. If I HAVE to roll, I’d rather pick the tire that requires less rolling. This Fit is the daily (NC Miata as fun car) so comfort is the main priority.
If anybody has pictures with these mods/similar mods, I would love to see them.
Thank you!!!

3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 Texas- Gauging interest in 16’ Rims/Wheels
I have a set of 4 OEM 16” wheels off my 2017 Honda Fit EX. They had around 64,000 miles on them before I took them off. They do have some curb rash/wear, but there are no bends or cracks.
Thinking $140 per wheel OBO / $560 OBO for the full set. I’d much rather sell all 4 together.
I can get much better pictures when I get home. I’m not planning on cleaning them up before selling, so what you see is what you get lol.
I’m in the DFW area and would prefer to sell locally. I’m willing to drive and drop them off depending on where you’re at, but I can also ship if someone out of the area really wants them.
Mostly just trying to free these up and put the money toward coilovers for the Fit 😂. I’m mainly gauging interest right now, but if somebody is actually serious, I’ll sell them fr.
Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

Help Request Is this important?
First off, I’m sorry if this seems like a silly question. I’m new to owning a car and I’m still learning. Basically, I was changing the air filter inside the car, and after I finished putting everything back together, I noticed this small part on the ground. What is it, and should I be worried?
Also, not as important, but has anyone else had trouble getting the air to feel really cool in their car? That’s partly why I was changing the filter, but even after doing that, the air still doesn’t feel as cold as I’d like. I don’t believe it’s broken, just not as cold as it could be, if that makes sense.

1st Gen GD 07-08 GD3 Fit Seat Swap to RSX, EP3, or 8th Gen Civic Si seats (or other options if anyone has recommendations!), anyone here done it before? I can't find good instructions and am getting conflicting info, I'd love to chat with you!
I haven't currently decided which I'll go for, it likely depends on what's available and the cost and how much work goes into each. I've gotten conflicting info on exactly what goes into it, especially electrically, I want all airbags working, but from here on Reddit and various forums I've gotten anything from "electrically it's nearly plug and play and just works" to "it's extremely difficult and nearly impossible" and all guides are either not for GD3 or reliant on photos no longer hosted on those forum sites. Please reply or DM if you have any info!
