We traded in the Fiancé's Monte Carlo in for a 2008 Fit base 5 speed. Its slow and basic but its my first new car and gets great gas mileage. I get to drive this everyday and she got my Tahoe. Well here are some pics.

Since it came with 14' hubcaps I picked up these today from Leta. Brand new OEM 99-00 Civic SI wheels. They are still in the original boxes.

And since I washed both cars today here are a couple new ones of the M3, with clean wheels for the first time in months.

I still like me a Fit... Congrats on the cars and how much did you get the "Si's" for... There is a guy selling sets on here...

Probably the same guy. I saw them on STLSR and craigslist, since i don't have enough posts to see the for sale section here yet. I paid $400 at Frank Leta, the parts guy straight up said $400 when I got there today, I believe they are listed at $500 on the sites. They have a couple more sets I think. I really didn't want to go to Leta since I test drove a Fit there and then went and bought it from Napleton.

You're lucky to have found a 5 speed Fit. I've heard the manuals are hard to find.

The fit is just the dd. I didn't think they looked good at first but now they are growing on me. And yeah the M3 came from bimmers why?

leta jas had those Si wheels forever lol we were always asking people if they wanted a set im pretty sure they do have at least one more set.

Nice fit, no sport model? and yes a while back at leas the manual sports were hard to come by my cousin had to go everywhere to find one and got lucky at Vincel

Yeah I remember that. I actually saw it before he told me. I just needed someone to tell me E46 not E36
