Ok here are the differences compare them with my box and lugs

1. Missing Neo authenticity sticker
2. Misspelled the word Patent ( they spelled it PATEBT )
3. The Color spectrum on the lugnut is not consistent under light.

I did notice the neo-chro sticker was missing when I got them. Oh well. I only payed $100 for them, half what I guess the real ones cost. I thought that was a steal! They're damn good fakes tho! Unless I get a Kics expert looking at them, no one will know. At least I know the wheels they're on aren't fakes.

Oh and I just did an oil change. Almost 10,000 miles on Mobil1 synth 5w20. Put in Mobil1 0w20 in this time. We'll see if the mpg go up...

Thank you for posting the comparo, it's good for everyone to know things like that. Now that you post side by side I guess it is pretty obvious. I saw he misspelled "patent" but the color of the lugs is a dead giveaway when side by side.

4qt, are you crazy?! Manual says 3.8! Ha. Yeah I got the 5qt jug for bout $25 at walmart. Filter and washer from Honda for $8. Engine's definitely running better. THat's probably just because the oil is new, not necessarily because it's the 0w20, but it is supposed to be more efficient, so...who knows.

haha, no, i didn't steal them (no other Fit's or DC5's in town with them). I had some reflector tape laying around and followed the DIY. They look great at night too.

Only thing I didn't like about the gaskets is that they were to big. I might need to get something different here soon
