I call that dedication! Your poor housings though. They know the inside of an oven a little too well. It's cruel

I cannot tell that it is a replica. If it is, then they did a good job of it. I've ordered many JDM sticker kits and this one is as good as any of them. If the 3M double stick tape is any indication of high quality, I'm sold. They stick like crazy so no room for error!

I see you are using 55 watt ballasts. How would you compare the light output. I was actually swayed away from going 55 watt by the retrofit company I dealt with and stayed with the 35's.

Light output is better, but they are less reliable and don't last as long. I recommend 35w to most customers, but run 50w myself since I have access to new ballasts on a daily basis.

Comparison shots/pics below:
Mugen


US OEM Cargo Tray


JDM (Honda Access) Cargo Mat


JDM (Honda Access) Cargo Mat (installed)


Just in case anyone is wondering, the JDM cargo mat (3pcs total, 2 are for the rear seat backs) won't work 100% with the Clazzio seat covers cause of the velcro, but if you add back the velcro in key locations you're good to go. Worked for me!

What did I do?

Swapped out one of the rear wheel/tire with a stocker I kept... cause apparently, I picked up a screw in the tire.

GAHHHHH.

What is up with this?

In the 16+ years I've been driving BEFORE I got the Fit... I got four flat tires (that I can recall at the moment). I've only had the Fit for over 2 years (29 months), and I've gotten FOUR on the Fit. If you consider the fact that the first flat was in early March of last year... it's been less 2 year time span (20 months)!!!

actually it's been awhile since I've done this but I got my coilovers on, car straightened up and aligned and scrubbed down for a good wash. But all I have are crummy iPhone images

I usually always get a black car this time I wanted white ended up with red. But seeing this black Fit makes me reconsider my choice.

function/form type 2's.
There's plenty of room to go further and I was there for a little, but I rubbed on bumps more than I wanted to.

hardly ever rub with my current height, takes a big bump for sure.

love my CBP fit, kinda difficult to keep clean though. I dust it like every other day but it's not a big hassel.
