Got this in, took some time to find since it seems like most places only had the Gold version and I don't like gold

Looking good Ron, did you use the Glossifier?

I actually kinda like the way the caps look silver, makes the rims pop a little more in my opinion

My dealer ordered me set of rear OEM molded mudflaps. base/sport share the same rear bumper. I'll just sell the front ones to a base owner on here.

I mail ordered from O'Reilly autoparts store. These are Powerflow Size A (they run like bra sizes - A is small) and universal fit model # 4406. They are only $5.50 / pair (+S/H) but believe or not many autoparts stores in southcentral PA don't carry mudflaps / splash guards. Guess everyone buys OEM when they buy the car.


Again, the 205/50-16 on a 43mm offset aftermarket wheel sticks out past the fender on the lower 30%-40% of the wheel, and in my case, the tire throws a lot of stuff up on the side of the car. I used the mudflaps more as fender-extenders rather than to keep stuff from coming up under the car.


FIT is starting to get that World Rally Car look.

I have been using the LED's from this vendor for awhile but you are right I will keep an eye on them

I don't like buying random LED's off ebay since the are known to have questionable quality

car still needs a facelift. waiting on a replacement JDP hood clearing customs... in the meanwhile Vancouver FINALLY got a stretch of sun in the forecast. cleaned up the fit, and did a little DIY mod:



*NEW* mod:


used reflective red 3M vinyl, then stuck the OEM Honda "H" badge back on w/ 3M tape.
