No problem. I think it makes it flush enough yet still functional.

I tried to fit a s2000 hood in the fit. It did not fit.

Really? That's strange, I'd have assumed it'd fit easily.

Yeah i know. I thought almost everything fits in the Fit. A s2000 exhaust did. The rear of the hood flares out just a bit too much for the hatch opening. Or door opening as well. It's surprisingly wide.

After persuading my wife that the car looks unbalanced with just Front Beatrush Tow Hook, I bought another Beatrush Tow Hook again.
This time I bought the shorter Honda N-One version just like what I bought for my Front bumper.

and it fit PERFECTLY... so if any of you thinking of buying a tow hook,
buy the shorter Honda N-One version instead of the JDM Honda Fit GE version.

Installing the rear tow hook is kinda harder than the front one though because the rear bumper is kinda flat so no room for wrench to tighten it, not as easy as the angled front bumper.
Like the front, I reuse the plastic tow hook cover and precisely drill the hole for the tow hook stud to go through,
so it looks more "finish"/Flush...


Here are the pictures:





I also install one out of 3 Kakimoto Earth Ground that I bought a while ago, I will install the other 2 after I install my Noblesse with HJS Cat probably in a month or 2.

This first Kakimoto Earth Ground is installed at the Muffler joint:

who knows? maybe

Nah... the main reason I bought this because I do believe the exhaust gas flowing fast could create static, my wife and my sons all afraid to close the car door after driving somewhere, because they got electrocuted with static electricity all the time...
I can't really figure out why... my car had so much static...
so when I read about static electricity generated by exhaust gas flow, then I decide to buy this.
Might not work at all, but hey, it gives me reason to work on my car so that alone is a very good reason

ps: I still have 2 more grounding strap left to install, so maybe 12.8 more ps to be gain hahahahahahaha

I wish I could take better photos, but the wheels were only the car for an hour while I checked the TPMS sensors.

They are actually PVC (plastic) side moldings I bought from Lowes.

Here is a very similar product: Not sure if its the exact same.

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Royal-Mould...x-8-ft/3339716

I just rounded the corners with a Dremel. Sanded, primer, paint, and clear coat.

PM me if you want more info.

Bad day for the GE today

Was driving a friend somewhere in Columbia, where the roads are absolute garbage. I was driving over a train track (they just recently "re-did" the crossing, and now it's about 10x worse than before) and in the process, I broke my passenger side fog light. How? I have no idea. But the bracket is completely trashed. The fog light itself is fine. Anyone know how I could get just the plastic housings? I looked on Bernardi with no luck. Also, the impact broke a few zip ties on my lip, and since it was dragging on the pavement for a few min, it broke a chunk off. I ended up just taking the entire bumper off and putting it in the hatch lol. This lip lasted a solid 2 months I am not getting another one, at least for awhile. I think I need to raise my car up about 1" after this incident, because these roads are just horrendous. I'm just happy nothing worse happened. Also, I recently upgraded to some BFGoodrich g-Force Sport Comp 2's. They are very nice for the price, I would recommend.
