Absolutely!
First of all, go out and buy a Haynes Repair Manual. It's super cheap and has Honda's specific techniques for diagnosing and repairing your car. If you're more of a visual learner like myself, YouTube has a lot of repair videos that will walk you through repairs step-by-step. I'm a big fan of ChrisFix's videos because he uses common hand tools, and does all his work in his own driveway.

I was super nervous when starting out, so I stuck to small things like replacing the air filters, windshield wipers, and changing my oil.

([Here's] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ds0-jwm7h0) a Honda Fit oil change tutorial too).

After watching these two videos I learned HOW brakes work and felt comfortable enough to change my brakes, as well as paint my own calipers. There are also videos about changing your fluids (coolant, transmission fluid, etc..) which are just as important as mechanical maintenance.

Not only does this save you thousands of dollars through out the life of your car, but it gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment in doing these things for yourself. The way I see it, I paid over $12,000 for my car. I want to know as much as possible when maintaining this purchase. You buy phone cases, screen protectors and all kinds of protective features for your ~$200 phone, right? Why wouldn't you put the same level of care and thought into something 60X more expensive?

Lastly, Don't be afraid to spend some money on quality tools! Spend a little extra on a socket set, wrenches, floor jack, and screwdrivers. They're universal tools that you'll be using for many other projects. Also go out and get yourself a Torque Wrench! It's a must-have if you're working on your car. (How to use)

Good luck, and don't stress too much! It's tremendously fun to work on your car! :)

Loved Weathertech in the past, but these are easily as good for cheaper.

This is the best:

Sylvania Headlight Restoration Kit

I have used it in two cars just as bad as your Fit and they both had perfectly shiny lenses for over a year.

Had the same problem this spring. Did some digging and there are tons of other Fit owners with the same problem that almost universally cited the blower motor and/or blower motor resistor. Dealership quoted me $450 for the repair ($250 parts, $200 labor). Ended up replacing both myself for about $65. The whole process took about 15 minutes.

It is not a remotely complicated repair, but both parts are located in an awkward place if you aren't a tiny person. They're both accessed by removing the tiny panel under the glove box or the box itself. Only ONE tool is required, which is a Philips head screwdriver, but I'd recommend using one with a very short handle to get at the resistor's screws (mine was about 2.5-3" long).

Was very glad to get my AC back in time for summer without dumping an unnecessary $390!

I got a generic Amazon basics GPS dashboard mount and an imagnet cradle. Easy to use and it doesn't obstruct view out the front.

CD Player Mount. IMO best mount type if you don't use CD's ever / often.

These work great it's what I have for the front, I haven't changed out the rear as I haven't got to it yet.

You're, correct that this isn't related to the A/C. It's just the cabin air system and it's an easy repair. It's mounted under the dash (passenger side). The only difficult part is that its slightly awkward to reach. If you push the seat as far back as it goes and lay on your back (half your body out of the car), it makes it easier to do. Should take about 10-15 mins to do. 5 mins if you've done it before.

/u/civicjohn is also correct. Here is the part you need:
amazon link. The highest speed is a direct passthrough with no resistance. The resistor reduces the power for speeds 1-3 (more resistance/less power for lower speeds). When the built-in fuse in the resistor trips, the fan will only run on the high setting.

If this doesn't work, or the resistor fails again or the air seems to blow weakly, then its the blower motor: amazon link. If the air is weak, then the bearings in the blower motor are bad. This could explain why the resistor blew. Unfortunately the bearings in the blower motor are not serviceable so the blower motor would need to be replaced. The good news is replacing this is just as easy as replacing resistor. Same area, 3 screws.

The resistor is about $20-$25 and the fan motor (aftermarket) is about $55 from Amazon. A Genuine Honda fan motor is really expensive. Something like $450 or in that neighborhood if I'm remembering correctly. If you insist on Genuine Honda factory parts, it's worth checking a junkyard if you have one nearby. BTW, a really short screwdriver is really handy.

Probably more info than you need but if you're like me, I like to know how things work and why they fail. It may also make the repair less daunting for those who may be a little timid about tinkering with their car. Hope this helps.

Great setup.

How tall are you? I’m planning to do this as well.

With it, you can skip solar and still have electricity for your car.

u/mangolane0 · 1 pointr/hondafit

I use this. Doesn't move and is great for the fit, but it does obstruct part of the LCD

I installed a Clarion navigation stereo over 4 years ago on my 07 Fit Sport. It is not difficult, as long as you follow the instructions. Aside from the head unit, you will need a dash trim kit, wiring harness and an antenna connector adapter. Here's some pictures:

I also added a back-up camera (highly recommended)

From what I heard the cheap ones aren't worth buying (<30). Most auto supply chain stores will scan your car for free. But if you want a good one I suggest the bluedriver Has a fake spot A rating. But hell it's costly to buy if you're just using it for yourself. Might want to get some friends to share the cost.

Got the OEM all-seasons and now wish I spent $20-$30 more for Husky Liners.

u/PontisPilot · 1 pointr/hondafit

I did a bunch of research and bought the drawtight off of amazon for easy shipping. It was a very simple install, etrailer had a video to follow. Basically cut away a small bit of under skirt, dremel a small slot and bolt the thing down. Took me 2 hours. Here is the link Draw-Tite 24826 Sportframe Class I Hitch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001TNT2Y2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ORmv8rqI4Cb96

u/iamthelouie · 2 pointsr/hondafit

Amazon has some decent ones you just sticker on with the 3M tape provided. These are the ones I got.

u/GauchoGuacho · 1 pointr/hondafit

Once mine burn out I'm getting a set that has three colors. They turn on blue-white, then yellow, then soft white. Gives me options for backroads, fog/rain and city driving.

u/AnonymousMonkey1 · 1 pointr/hondafit

I had someone install it for me but it didn't take them more than 40 minutes or an hour. The guy placed it in the trunk on the bottom right and mounted the amp on the back of my rear seat. I haven't had any major rattling problems. Here's the sub and amp I used

My doors and radio are stock but I plan on getting different speakers in a year or so

Hope this helps a little
