Justin,
Did you end up just using 3M on the garnish? I'm gonna do mine soon and wanted to know what were the lessons learned. The pics from the other thread are awesome.

That is exactly what I'm looking for.....Where exactly did you get it? Wings West doesn't even list any parts for Fits.....was it painted already, is it just taped on and finally how much?
Thanks for the Pix!

So Justin, does your hatch stays up in the colder days now that you added the Tail Garnish (extra weight) to it?

Illusive · #**147** (**permalink**) 12-30-2007, 08:31 PM

good thing I check these threads haha...no problems with the tailgate garnish, holding on like a champ! I used the double sided tape AND silicone to bond it to the rear hatch. Hatch doesn't sag either, opens fully even on the coldest days here in Calgary.

If you want one of these, your options are limited, as far as I know you can only get one from HondaFitTuner.com

im not sure what it's made of. i bought it from ricky. he had it on his fit and sold it to me painted already.

So heres a question on the Seibon rear garnish. Is the rear garnish the piece that the honda emblem sits on? If so what happens to the honda emblem. Can you still put it on. I see no groove in the picture. I'm really curious, if it fits nicely and I can still have an emblem then I'm ordering it tom.

Illusive · #**152** (**permalink**) 02-09-2008, 12:09 PM

I don't think they have the emblem built into the CF trim piece...

MyShoeBox · #**153** (**permalink**) 02-09-2008, 01:52 PM

no not built into it but what happens to the honda emblem? Do you have to stick one on with double sided tape?

klsgd07 · #**154** (**permalink**) 05-10-2008, 09:02 PM

I was wondering to see if anyone else beside me was the only one who own the Carbon Fiber Garnish..I have Seibon but it didnt fit right on i have to mod it to fit but it look bad asss...want some pic email me later...tommiesouvang@hotmail.com peace..

Thanks for the link, but I am also interested in the one that goes across the back window.

Do you guys think CF the trunk garnish will be hot or not?
Anyone made it in CF? If not, I want to put CF vinly on it.

Here is some picture of my tail gate garnish.

Dryfitting the new unpaited garnish on the car:

Here is the painted garnish mounted on the tailgate. On this images the new tail lights in Altezza Euro style is also mounted.

(click on thumbnail images to view a larger version).

I really like the look of the tailgate garnish, it completes the lines on the rear end of the car. It looks like it should have been there from the factory. And I also hope it will be nice in the winter and keep the ice and snow off that edge below the tail gate door.
