Here's My '15 EX
#24
It was about $79. I bet you could do better though. I got it here:
74890-T5A-J12 | Honda GARNISH ASSY., RR. LICENSE - Bernardi Parts

Thanks buddy. It looks much better in person. My cell pics are crappy. The shop matched the WOP perfectly.
I removed the chrome honda emblem from the garnish today and painted it black. I like it. I'm trying to get away from the chrome stuff. I might even paint the FIT emblem black and put it back on.

Are you going to get rid of the chrome on the front grill as well?

It looks ok. I know when I first walked around one of these on the lot, that giant chrome piece jumped out at me. First thought was "what's with that giant chrome trim piece?" It just doesn't seem to match the aesthetics of the rest of the car. Every color to me looks like it he chrome garnish is a dress-up after thought. It just doesn't look right to me.

I finally installed cool white LED back-up lights and red LED blinkers. Much better. All that's left that's not LED is the headlights, fog lights, and dashboard. I have Silvania Xenons and they're better than stock for sure. I'm not sure if I'll see an improvement over these headlights with LEDs. Are LED headlights better than Halogen?
I'm hoping my next mod will be ready tomorrow. It's about a week overdue...

I used the following part#:
Rear blinkers: 7440-RHP28-T RED, 2ea
Rear Back-up: 7440-WHP28-T WHITE, 2ea
Front blinkers: 7443-AW60-SA, 2ea
Load resistors: RL-650, 4ea
I purchased them from superbrightled.com. If you ctrl+c / ctrl+v the part#'s in their search box, it will take you right to them.
These are a noticeable improvement over the OE incandescent: Rear blinkers are rated 130 lumens each; 6000K back-up are rated 550 lumens each; front blinkers are rated 192 lumens each.
Front blinkers are 5700K white lights when parking lights are in the on position, then switch to on/off amber when signal/ hazard is used (type A switchbacks), all while consuming a fraction of the power at a claimed 25 times the service life over OE. Hopefully I'll never need to change them for the life of the car.
More info on LED conversions for the entire car can be found here:

Yeah, it fits fine. Fold the seats down and lay it down flat. If I'm somewhere and it starts raining or something, I'll pull over and put it inside. It's just so much faster to throw it on/off the rack, and if it's dirty, the interior stays cleaner.
