Can't wait to see a fit transformation. Been trying to do the same with my GF's fit. Head's up there's a open recall on the drive axles that I believe covers this year car. Its for rust damage on them. Definitely something to look into taking it to Honda and having them checked. Hers broke on us a month or so ago just driving it down the street. Got a nice pic of it snapped in half. Those look a little rusty so might be coverable and great for the new owners to have!
A Honda fit! This is gonna be a good build. Excited to see what you have in mind. Edit: already looking so clean. I love on the west coast so I won’t enter but maybe I should🤔
I would do the after market shifter. Even if your not trying to "racecar" it being all metal and not sloppy plastic makes the shifts so much more positive and crisp. I had an 07 Hyundai Accent back in the day and changing the shifter and getting rid of the plastic made such an improvment on shift feel.
You can't go wrong with this car choice,i am a older guy so driving a stick shift is easy for me.i would stay with the stock shifter because a race style one would get tiresome for a daily driver.keep up the good work!
I've had my gd7 Fit since 08. Honestly its super reliable. Best daily there is. A lot of people turn these into track cars because of how rigid the chassis is as well. Regardless I am excited to see where you go with this. My opinion for cosmetics. A decent coilover wheel combo with some 16's. Try to source the fit sport aero kit with spoiler and fog lights. Get the driver armrest center console mod and try to clean up the body work. Maybe PDR? Cheers!
just bought a shirt and a sticker, hype to see you doing so good i feel like youtube hasnt pushed your videos in my feed for awhile. keep killin it man
Honestly, this is one of the best channels on RUclips. I love all the work you do and how you show people you can do so much on a car with just a few mods.
I love my fit!!! Good to see people are given the old Fits some love finally hopefully it's manual I didn't fully watch the video yet but mine is Manuel and it's feels just like any other 90s Honda!
I'm so happy to see a genuine, budget and REAL car transformation. A lot of other RUclipsrs have forgotten that most people that watch their channel, don't have 5k-10k to drop in a car build. Keep giving hope to the ones that are in a budget and show them that you can make a car look better with little and It DOES'NT HAS TO BE PERFECT.
As someone that does buffing professionally for a large automotive dealership, this was not a bad job buff wise. Although for a full paint correction we wet sand, compound, then polish. Still not bad. Props to you man. Looking good so far!
Entered! Thanks for working on real cars with real garage tools. Not everyone has the best of the best, and I’m always impressed at what you come up with.
Black this thing out. Black out the emblems and paint those rims black. Put some black hubcaps on and throw in that short shifter and I’ll buy some shirts
I’m stoked to be entered for this car. Been wanting to learn to drive stick and this would be amazing to win. Happy your brand is growing bro and you’re in a position to bless someone like this. Appreciate the opportunity to even be in this 🙏🏻
Black on black looks so good!! If you’re not planning to replace the wheels, I personally think blacking out the hubcaps would make it look better. Gahd I love these Fits. They’re called Jazz here in the Philippines and to be honest, they’re more expensive here than in the US.
Looking awesome so far. Both my sisters had Honda fits (both manual as well). Great cars. Would be cool to put in an aftermarket Apple CarPlay in this one. CarPlay is a must have for me now.
The Fit is awesome fun on Gran Turismo. It’s a clean (now it is), reliable, economical, useful and fun baby Vtec. Would be nice to eventually put some clean proper JDM wheels on it
Your videos are so refreshing. Everyone nowadays is focused on the expensive and somewhat unattainable cars to the avergae Joe like myself. Thats the reason ive been tuned in to your stuff ever since i found your channel. Keep up the good content my guy🤟🏽😤
I moved to US and left my civic 2000 back in hometown been loving this channel and videos alottt i learn alot and they are therapeutic too i worked on my car it was the most fun thing to do on weekends. appreciate u making these videos man ♥️
A heatgun on the faded plastic works better than any back to black in a bottle, it last longer too. Goof-Off works waaaaaaay better to remove adhesive, I like the one that comes in the old school metal can. Also wouldn't wet sanding the touch up paint blend it in better?
Excellent new idea to help restore and bring back the 1st generation Fit. I love this car with a passion. You did great work and it looks killer. Entered for a chance.
Rad brotha .... and here in NC u only get one plate fir back of car there is no front plate but my home state of NH requires both front and rear tags or its a fine/ticket .. personally i think 2 tags is a waste of materials as whenever there trouble they usually behind u anyways
@SmplBuilds yess! Been in love with mine ever since I got it and have been upgrading it slowly, but surely, loving the way is coming out, now saving up for the bigger upgrades like exhaust and such!
Can't wait to see the finishing work on this build! Episode 1 and it's already looking super good! My brother just left for bootcamp so if I win the giveaway, I'd definitely plan on surprising him with a new, beefed out car! Just wanted to be sure though, I ordered the $5 entry, but it says in the description that I'd get only 5 entries for the purchase. Would I still get the 5x entries for today?
Oh thats cool, I live like 30 mins from Honda of Annapolis haha, been here since a couple thousand subs, so cool to see youve blown up. Knew it would happen! Keep it up man :D
Wheels make the car. And i'd lower it an inch inch n a half too. Maybe you can just cut the springs ? Rear spioler and rubber front lip. That will Transform it from lame to flame sir.
Absolutely great video! Cant wait to try and win a beautiful car customized by some of the absolute nicest guys on RUclips. Y'all certainly need more susbscribers.
Get a porter cable dual action polisher, they are not that expensive and you cannot beat the bang for the buck, you can get one for $130 brand new or under $100 used
You should fs do the short shifter, if I were to win the car I’d love to race it around. You should also get some used wheels for it. Great video Man, videos have grown so much since the beginning. Car looks amazing!!!
Instead of a headlight resto kit. You should start sanding down the headlights and re clear-coat them. A can of 2K Clear is only $16. Makes the headlights look brand new!
Honestly use the correct polish pad would give you much better results as your using a wool pad by the looks of it to polish 😮 you want a medium to high grade polish foam pad
perfect timming to watch this during luinch time
That's why I post at lunch haha thanks for choosing my vid! 🙏🏼
Lunch rn for me
Same !!!
That’s what I’m doing now
Can't wait to see a fit transformation. Been trying to do the same with my GF's fit.

Entered! Thanks for working on real cars with real garage tools. Not everyone has the best of the best, and I’m always impressed at what you come up with.
Thank you so much bro! Means a lot
I’ve been researching getting a fit as a daily, so cool to see this video going through some stuff to look out for and work on!
Black this thing out. Black out the emblems and paint those rims black. Put some black hubcaps on and throw in that short shifter and I’ll buy some shirts
Love the Honda Fit! It's going to clean up really nicely, excited to see the rest of the series!
I’m stoked to be entered for this car. Been wanting to learn to drive stick and this would be amazing to win. Happy your brand is growing bro and you’re in a position to bless someone like this. Appreciate the opportunity to even be in this 🙏🏻
Thank you so much bro! I'm definitely feeling blessed 🙏🏼

Gahd I love these Fits. They’re called Jazz here in the Philippines and to be honest, they’re more expensive here than in the US.
Yesssssss I recently fell in Love with the Fit. Just got the same car in Silver back in May. GREAT CAR!
i haven't watched your channel in a little while but your channel has grown super big since then. we're proud of you!
I love everything about this build. Cost effective. Looks amazing. NICE job.
A hybird short shifter would be awesome!!
Excited for this build , always wanted to do a fit
Looking awesome so far. Both my sisters had Honda fits (both manual as well). Great cars. Would be cool to put in an aftermarket Apple CarPlay in this one. CarPlay is a must have for me now.

Been saving for a daily running between work and college
Thank you man.

Great to see you in a proper garage and moving on up from the driveway. Well done sir.
Thank you 🥲
The (stock shifter) long throws on the daily driver are usually more fun IMO
All the products you used were great! I can’t wait to see more videos Maybe chrome delete with some cheap wrap to keep it simple!
Not a Honda fan but I'm a Smpl builds fan... gotta watch each vid....
Preciate you!!
Yo man, it was great meeting you at wawa yesterday. You’re an amazing guy! Can’t wait to keep watching your vids!
Thank you so much bro! 🤝🏻
Excellent new idea to help restore and bring back the 1st generation Fit. I love this car with a passion. You did great work and it looks killer. Entered for a chance.
🙏🏼💪🏼👍🏻
Nice thinking off building one of these for my son's 1st car. Looking forward to this!
Because of you and your videos... I just got an 09 Fit Sport manual. Thanks for your content and tips! 🙇🏽♂️
Rad brotha .... and here in NC u only get one plate fir back of car there is no front plate but my home state of NH requires both front and rear tags or its a fine/ticket .. personally i think 2 tags is a waste of materials as whenever there trouble they usually behind u anyways
Love the honda fit such a nice car
Its my newfound love
@SmplBuilds yess! Been in love with mine ever since I got it and have been upgrading it slowly, but surely, loving the way is coming out, now saving up for the bigger upgrades like exhaust and such!
Add the short shifter and some Rota wheels
My 2 buddies have a Fit and I've been wanting to get one. This would be amazing!
I never thought I would die for a Honda fit
😂😂
Awesome series. I love that you are building it and giving back to the community. Keep up the great work! 🍀🤙🏼
Thank you!!
Nighthawk black looks AMAZING after a paint correction
I’m in Jersey as well I leave that license plate bracket on my civic. That fit is looking really good
Well done now these Honda Fit is really bad ass you are really good doing these
Keep the stock shifter. Great video
Super pumped for this build! Mad respect to you!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
amazes me how "little" it takes for a car to look 90% better! Great job man.
Appreciate it!!
Been watching car restoration videos then yours are recommended by RUclips..i love it..and that is my dream car
Can't wait to see the finishing work on this build! Episode 1 and it's already looking super good!
My brother just left for bootcamp so if I win the giveaway, I'd definitely plan on surprising him with a new, beefed out car!
Just wanted to be sure though, I ordered the $5 entry, but it says in the description that I'd get only 5 entries for the purchase. Would I still get the 5x entries for today?
This is such a cool build & looking so great already!
Thanks bro!!
I really need a car to go to work, have a sentra that the transmition is messed up and got no money to fix it really would help to have one
Oh thats cool, I live like 30 mins from Honda of Annapolis haha, been here since a couple thousand subs, so cool to see youve blown up. Knew it would happen! Keep it up man :D
Wheels make the car. And i'd lower it an inch inch n a half too. Maybe you can just cut the springs ? Rear spioler and rubber front lip. That will Transform it from lame to flame sir.
Remember to replace the timing belt fits are known for the piston jump El destructo
Absolutely great video! Cant wait to try and win a beautiful car customized by some of the absolute nicest guys on RUclips. Y'all certainly need more susbscribers.
Really appreciate that 🤝🏻💙
dam this is awesome great great build i hope it goes to someone that really needs it again great job boss man
Me too. Thank you!!
Buy a pinstripe remover wheel. It's a round rubber wheel. It will remove adhesive from paint 100x faster
Oh my God back at it again
😉
Looks real good underneath for a jersey car. Shocked it's not more rusted with the amount salt our state like to use.
Jersey stand up. 🤙🤙
Great video definitely hybrid racing shifter best shifter around
This will look nice between my vw’s 😎
Yessirrr
Dude… this is exciting. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Right?! Haha I'm very excited too. Thanks man :)
cant wait to see the transformation
Great content that gets better with every new upload! Really enjoy your stuff. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate that!!
Get a porter cable dual action polisher, they are not that expensive and you cannot beat the bang for the buck, you can get one for $130 brand new or under $100 used
Can't wait to see how this fit comes out ur work is awesome ❤
Thank you sm bro!
You should fs do the short shifter, if I were to win the car I’d love to race it around. You should also get some used wheels for it. Great video Man, videos have grown so much since the beginning. Car looks amazing!!!
Stock shifter and use the $$ for a complete set of studded snows and do a comparison come some snowfall.
Great job like always...keep up the great bro AMAZING💯😎👌👏🏼
Thanks!!
When are You having the 5 Times Multiplier again? For those of us that Missed it on the 1dt Day.
What did they tow with a fit?
I think a jet ski hahah
Love this channel and what you do man. Can’t wait to see how this thing turns out 💪
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Got the sweatshirt, definitely comfortable and good quality.
Glad you like it!!
Short throw ftw I agree add a stock wing and upgrade the audio system
Yess new series
Yoooo! Excited to see this build, those are fun little cars 💯💪
I took my front license plate off my fit also! makes a huge difference imo
Put some led headlight bulbs in like auxtio, lastfit, Morimoto, GTR lighting or SV-4.
Instead of a headlight resto kit. You should start sanding down the headlights and re clear-coat them. A can of 2K Clear is only $16. Makes the headlights look brand new!
Great suggestion. Might have to do that.
I like the hybrid short shifter for sure
Honestly use the correct polish pad would give you much better results as your using a wool pad by the looks of it to polish 😮 you want a medium to high grade polish foam pad
I usually remove the front plates when I get any vehicle and put it in the glove box lol in Vegas they aren’t too strict on these things
We have two fit at home (2014 sport) and (2008 dx black exactly like that 😂) great cars !
Leave the shifter, the stock throws add to the goofiness!
So sick. Love your content
Appreciate it!!
I think you should give yourself some more credit man, you got a shop with everything you need and the skills to back it up. You're a professional
Haha thank you bro :)
5:55 Oregon diss LOL
Dude i literally just clocked in! Perfect morning ☕️ 🔥
So much progress in just one episode! Also your haircut lookin good bro👀
Hahhaha I'm blushing
Definitely a nerd when you drive around without a license 🤣
I hope ppl don't take me too seriously 😂
@@SmplBuilds not at all but I have been pulled over for a license plate light not working
Love these fits!
This is gonna make for a sick track rat!
Such a fun car!!
0:20 stick shift 😮😮
You the man! Thanks for the chance 🤞🏼
You’ve got to show off all of the modes of the magic seats!
Always killing it love the content my gf even started watching to awesome stuff
Its a very popular and respectful car in Kyrgyzstan.
