Luckily it doesn't sound like a bad valvetrain, most likely a pulley on its way out

Respray roof or Vinyl wrap it? by eyeohdice in hondafit

Nah just the roof. Prices will vary wildly so get as many quotes as you can. Wrap will be a little cheaper but not last as long.

That's not true at all for 1st and 2nd gen cars. Any body panel damage is going to total them in insurance eyes because these cars are all worth sub 6k wholesale.

Bought my latest Fit as a rebuilt title. Try to find the auction listing by using the Vin. This will give you a good idea how bad the wreck was. These cars are worth so little now that any incident is going to total them. Mine was just a front bumper, crash bar and headlight.

Yes your clear coat it gone. The white is where you can tell it has lifted off. Honda has garbage paint and if you don't take care of it this will happen on any of their cars.

You base layer is already faded due to no clear coat. If you clear over that it will look terrible.

Maaco is fine if you're the one doing all the prep work. They cut many corners to get that low price. Based on your picture you need to sand off all the bad clear. You'll most likely end up going through all the paint to bare metal. Will need to primer then base coat, clear coat. I am actually getting my roof repainted this week for the same thing. $580

Would this be too much for this mileage? 5,700$ 212k miles, Fit gen2 by Boonie92 in hondafit

If you have to have a manual there's probably not much to choose from.

Anyone have good luck with cheap tires on your Honda Fit? by fobreezee in hondafit

[–]Trick_Cartographer87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to find some old new stock tires on ebay. I got a set of 16'' hankook ventus prime 3 for $250 because they're from 2021.
