I was actually lucky enough to have a local member sell me his.
if you look on Facebook for Rogue7, they can still make them but takes about 2-4 weeks turn around time. or you can contact Ethan Adkins on Facebook as well and he makes them out of aluminum

Rogue7 still makes them individually, just email or message them. IIRC, he was asking around CAD$120 + shipping for one but never got around to ordering mine since I stopped my GD3 build.

Been a while, like maybe a few years? Haha, just gave the car some love a little after the 80k:




Installed a dash cam, fender liners, new lip, and the wash wax polish etc.

Gonna install EBC Green Stuff, thinking about replacing OE All Season Mats w the Weathertech, and thinking about the red emblems.

Slightly got the modding bug again, but shes been good to me.
What do you think, red emblems or no? Too much or no?

If it's the "mugen" front lip, most of those are reps.

Red is a nice little accent that would have your car stand out. If you do the front and rear though, it'll cost like $100 bucks.

Definitely need the red badges with all that white, they will really pop!

Cool 91,000 Alternator time 2008 Fit Sport

I replaced the alternator today. These things are not so easy, but it's done now.
I did rotate the tires to keep wear down on my right rear that is toed in ever since new. Funny how that issue is simply ignored by Honda? Sort of a Fukishima denial of any serious issues...
Anyways, its road trip time again, just glad the alternator failed within a mile of my home

Size:  115.0 KBAlso got rid of the nasty HID's and the tacky yellow fog light film. Got PIAA super white and PIAA Ion yellow bulbs. Looks so much cleaner and the light isn't scattered and ricer looking.

Yesterday: Did a bit of simple maintenance on the GD. Replaced coolant, ATF, engine oil, inspected the S/C, its oil level, lines, etc. and balanced tires. Also fiddled with the rear disc on the passenger rear of the car. There as a noticeably different air gap between the inner pad and the brake disc when comparing the left and right sides.

Today: Added shims between the Scarebird rear disc conversion bracket to try to reduce this air gap. Adding 1/32nds of shims helped, 1/64ths more may be needed but I will have to clearance the rear caliper bracket a little since the disc will nip against it. Test drove the GD with the 1/32nd shims installed, car currently brakes straighter but not perfect. haha

Finished my RSX type S seat install yesterday. Installed the seats on Weapon R brackets and the fitment was great, only issue is that they sit a bit high.. Basicly if I were over 6' tall, I wouldn't fit in my own car lol. Over all I'm pleased, they just need some adjusting.

^those do sit high. Looks good though! I'm thinking about picking up those same seat brackets for a set of Evo VIIIs, could you take a front and back picture of the seat bracket? Hopefully the bracket hugs the floor fairly closely.

I got in an overdue headlight buffing on my GD today.

Did a few upgrades for Honda Day this weekend, finally got around to putting on the side skirts I've had since Christmas, swapped out the bulky stock grill insert for some lighter mesh, and added a front suspension brace that I've had since before Christmas haha. I wasn't sure what kind of a difference the brace would make, but I was shocked how much tighter the steering feels while cornering.. definitely a great upgrade.

^Did you shock yourself when putting the driver side lower strut tower bolt in for the brace, or did you disconnect the battery first? Lol

No issue with shocking, just needed to do a little trimming to get the brace to fit. Have you been shocked working on yours?
