New wheels! Oh, and my replica front grill... I can't justify the $400 on the real one until I decide if I like it w/o the rest of the kit.

Where did you buy it? And if you don't like it I'll buy it off you.

Bought it off eBay, then I had to go buy the emblems separate. I'll let you know if I decide to sell it

Are those the OEM winkers, or the ebay variety? The car looks really damn good. What are those wheels? I like the finish on them. They have the same look as forged wheels.

^^^ You don't have to buy the whole auto-fold assembly, there used to be a seller on ebay that sold OEM winker (just the mirror covers), in a variety of OEM colors.


Nice J's steering wheel!!!!! Looks great! I was contemplating that one but I don't have any other carbon fiber mods so I'm going with the basic OEM leather w/red stitch upgrade.

They're the OEM straight from the motherland. My gf got them shipped over as a gift for me. I got them from Norihoto (the old eBay seller). I've got the part numbers at home if you need them, or Im pretty sure they're on the how-to on here. Wiring was fairly simple for just winkers. Ive had the power fold on other Hondas and didn't see the need on the fit. Oh, and no, you don't have to buy the whole assembly. Just the caps, LEDs, wire ends, wire adapters and 4 screws.

The wheels are r105's off a jcw mini cooper wrapped in pirellis. I'm working on getting some center caps for them. I'm between matte black and gloss black e a red "h".

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it. Don't worry,it was only for a brief moment..And I won't do it again on the hi-way.I may have been lucky this time but I might not be so, the 2nd time around.

You've done a very good job with your Fit. I love the way you modified it..Subtle yet very eye-catching to someone who is particular about details.

lol, I originally wanted to trade in my car but couldn't get one that I wanted at the right price, so ended up keeping it and I have to admit, I am a bit of a procrastinator, especially when it comes to electrical stuff.

I will definitely take you up on the offer to help get it done, FT: lunch and a six pack for installation help.

The new tires are 205/50/16". Can't say much about grip yet but noise is a definite improvement. had 36psi put in. Guy at the local shop came in after he took the tires out of the back and said "you got the wrong size". had to correct him on that. great Tire guy... ~Sigh.

Lol we all do those things we shouldn't. Toping out my G35 coupe my Junior year of high school at 3 am after prom was one of them. That cop was nice enough to just tell me to go home.

Have fun with that. Took me an hour and a half to restitch mine in red. Fingers hurt for days. I recommend coating the thread in wax before you start stitching as it keeps the stitching tight with out you having to keep pressure on it the whole time.

It's possible to restitch it like Jamy described. I haven't seen anyone else do it on here yet.

But, what I was talking about is the JDM "Sports Neo" (as it was called) steering wheel. It has the ergonomic grips, and red stitching.
This one

Like the one another ff member installed. ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...lled-pics.html
