here it is already installed on my Honda Fit:





so you can replace both the base fog light switch and DRL LED rocker switch with just one of this switch and put it on the first slot.

then buy another one of this double Honda seat heater switch for your new button application and put it on the second slot,

if I am not mistaken you need 3 more button right?
that mean,
you need to also replace your current VSA switch,
with the Honda CRV VSA/Cruise control combo switch.

like this one:



the only tricks is the VSA on our Honda Fit is normally close position,
so you need relay to use the Honda CRV VSA switch to make it normally close, while the cruise control button can be use for the last button that you ned.
Damn this is actually a good idea... I already bought the switches unfortunately, I was just not sure where to put them. I'd mount them to the right of the vsa/fog/drl switches, but there's a metal plate behind it.

My seat heater switches are just on the base of the seat themselves. Looks very OEM/discreet.

Also mounted new wheels on my Fit.

That's something I hadn't thought of...

What wheels did you get?

RPF1, pics in my thread. I try to avoid pics in here.

I am really happy with the way my heater buttons are presented.

Is it too late for me to start an individual car thread? I feel like I've already done so much lol

Also,

Inspected my brakes today to discover that my passenger side inner pad was hitting the wear indicator... So I ordered Hawk HPS pads and EBC Slotted Rotors

Guess I should've said how much I LOVE white.
Looks like I'll be getting a '13 Sport 5-speed with 26k on the ticker Friday or Saturday. In Taffeta White. :lol:

Where did you find it? My buddy from WV traded his '13 TW sport 5spd last week maybe its the same one haha.

FamilyWagon super clean man. Wish I had some front bumper options, but nothing for the 2013 without going JDM which is out of my price range.

Should be getting a Tanabe Medallion and Ijen intake sometime in the near future. Just debating on whether to run in short or cold air configuration.

Installed my EBC USR Rotors and Hawk HPS Pads. Braking is much improved, as well as aesthetic I'm lazy with pictures as you all know, so I'm probably gonna wait til the halos are on before I take a bunch of pics.

Quick question did you find the wishbone spring, that pushes the pads apart, when you opened the calipers? Idk but my 13 didn't have one. But the video online that I followed had them.

CarMax in Indianapolis has it. Not sure where it came from, but it looks like the car history report says Texas. Pics to come tomorrow or Monday.

Been really inactive here on the forum. Haven't done anything big.
Just Switched out my HID Bulbs, wanted to try 4300k.
Been having OSRAM CBI's for a while, those are 5500k.
Don't really have pic of that.

Switched out my set of S2K Rotors and Calipers.
Here's the old set up.
Project Mu Rotors and Pads.
OEM S2K Calipers.


Sold them to bro Burpawz.
I picked up a set of Wilwoods from another member off here.
He went with red Wilwoods for extra stopping power; instead of the black.
Paired it with a set of Project Mu's Rotors and Lug Nuts.



Here's my Car in it's current state.
Prob won't do anything else for a while.

Well the STI lip didn't last long... Ripped off on the highway. I have no idea how, but it's gone I guess I'll wait awhile before getting another one. The front end looks so bare without it

Def going to try to make it out!
I haven't been to socal meet in a while.
Hope we get a good turn out.
Best one was the first one 2-3 years back? Had almost 30 fits.
Half of them Taffy white. Hahaha

You're also on LS460Rs, correct?
