I'm digging that Mugen rep tailgate garnish. Where did you get it? How do you like the fitment on it?



on topic: I just bought a Modulo meter visor after looking for over two years! My interior should be complete now.

Here is where I ordered it - HondaFittuner.com :: Aero Styling :: Miscellaneous :: Mugen Replica Trunk Garnish (for US spec bumpers) (fits 07-08 USDM HONDA FIT) it fits pretty well I would say a solid 90%. I do recommend changing the shitty double sided tape before you install it. Mine stared falling off within two days (does not help it was sub-zero out) so I am replacing it all with 3M tomorrow.

Nice. I might eventually get that later down the line.


Btw, anyone have the Honda optional chrome gauge trim? I'm debating if I wanna get it or not.

First real repair in 6 years, and the part costs less than a tank of gas, with tax!

Threw in some GM synchromesh last night. Car shifts like butter minus my 5th gear. Going to be doing a window tent and a spoon duckbill real soon.

I wouldn't worry about the noise so much but if u don't like it maybe try putting OEM pads and rotors on and see if that makes a difference
Yes, I am beginning to lean towards that conclusion but I haven't gone in and done another visual inspection on the pads and rotors to verify that yet... I should be doing that tomorrow weather permitting.

I bought it used from Gawa.

If you're looking for one though, M5Fit is a trusted distributor.

Did some little things.

Applied touchup paint to the front lip and hood (a ton of pain chips, happens with a daily driver)

Painted my license plate screws with the touchup paint, so they're no longer rusty screws and look like part of the Fit. I thought it was a decent little mod, really insignificant though.

I suspect the general swiss-cheese texture of the roads out by my office have something to do with it.

The new end links have a nice hex boss on the shank of the stud for tightening, which was a pleasant surprise.

That stupid allen key hole on the OE units is just a nightmare after a few years.

Put the OEM shift knob back on.
Swapped out my JDM visor for OEM as well.
Grabbed all my personal belongings.

All that's left on the car are the Tein S-Techs and RS*R exhaust.
