The JDM visor has two (or maybe three) slots for business cards along with the SRS sticker in Japanese. So the EDM and JDM are similar, but not the same.

But instead of plain silver I blasted everything off(nearly 25-30hrs not sure what the heck came on them) for a fresh pallet. I then polished the lip to make nice and shiny and then I plasti-dipped the spokes "anthracite grey" with about 4 coats and then 3 coats of clear glosifier.
What wheel and tire (specs also) combo are you running?

@BarnFit - I just searched eBay for it. I don't really know the part number.

@DWils - Opps...my bad, but pretty much the mirror size are the same, the color and bolts on to a GD fit...lol J/K

Since I got the chrome interior door handles for my fit, I decided to get the gauge chrome trim aswell.

Ah crap! I've been driving the past two days and noticed that my exhaust/car seemed louder. Today, I finally popped my hood to see what was up with it and noticed that my oil cap had fallen off (luckily it was still within the engine bay) but noticed that motor oil was sloshing around and made a small mess. I also scratched up my ARC Magic oil cap.
I was able to clean the bay and put the oil cap back on (it was probably loosened during some cleaning last week). But I was wondering, aside from the minor loss in motor oil (I checked the levels and they were fine), would there be any other problems that I should worry about? I'm getting an oil change soon btw.

Looks nice, did the old trim just pop off when you pulled them?


Took a look at my engine bay this morning and did some more cleaning to get any more oil that may have spilled from the previous day. It's looking a lot nicer now.

Honda Fit Chrome Gauge Trim 2007-2008
@EightyFor - you don't have to take off anything because the trim uses a double sided tape.

@derykisonder - yes that's the one I ordered from the dealer. It's an accessory. That's the reason why I bought it, to match my chrome jdm interior door handles.

I too have the JDM chrome door handles and some rare JDM chrome door lock pins but I've always been on the fence about the chrome trim since my Module meter visor and JDM vent control decals are both flat silver. The OEM gauge trim matches those. So I could go either or.

That's true you could always stick with the flat silver for the dash parts while the door trims will be chrome.

Had a chance to hit some AutoX practice runs today. Very happy with my time. Pulled the fastest in STF class and a pretty fast RAW time. Lets hope I can carry it through into tomorrow event.

Here's is my run.

Finally got the Ralco RZ pulleys put in, now I'm not going to lie and say I'm getting huge gains but I will say the gains are noticeable. You can feel the difference in high revs, either accelerating from a stop or giving it more juice while cruising on the high way. Not going to say it's the most dramatic thing I've added, but for $100 it was worth it.
