Click here.

As far as I know, B&I is the only brand that CarID has that does the 3D steering wheel wood trim. I'm eventually going to get the rest of the dash kit, just wanted to se how the wood would turn out. FYI their previews of the different types of wood do not do them justice

These stupid things are too easy to break
I want to go Mugen too!

Theres a little technique to getting it out without breaking the clip-- I slowly figured it out after breaking my own haha.

Tell me more... pro's & con's.

Been thinking of one of those for a while now... Is yours the one that you have to hook up to a pressure washer?

Thanks dude! From the looks of the forum, I may be the first (or one of the first) to modify an Orange Burst Fit. No idea why that would be the case doe.

changed thermostat on the 09 along with the hose clamps. guys with early GE's, check your large hose clamp from under the car. i live in a snowbelt state and the thing was rusted to hell.

Replacement part

Looking good!
WOW! I need that same exact part right now. What's the part #??

I left it on the windshield and it flew off on the freeway last night.

Drivers side is part# 74212-TK6-A00

Passenger side is# 74222-TK6-A00

The part comes with a clip included so you don't need to order one separately.


Good luck!

Do yourself a favor. Go here --> OEM Honda Parts & Honda Accessories - Bernardi Parts

Enter your VIN, and if you have your browser set up to remember/auto fill forms, anytime you go to the site just click in that dialog box, hit the down arrow, and your VIN should be saved. Then click enter and BAM, exploded diagrams and part numbers for everything on your very car.

Got my winter tires! I'm so excited to get them on the car! I've never had enough money to buy winter tires. But the stock Dunlops are so worn, I probably would've totalled the car from a lack of grip. Since the cold weather is hitting soon, the tires and a 51R battery are the last of my mods this year. However, I may get some interesting boxes delivered over the winter...

Haha! I actually didn't find anything wrong about what you said until you added "well about mine"


What did I do to my Fit today.. I stared at its rear comtemplating on if I should bite the bullet on a Mugen rear already.

Don't do it. Fake exhaust ports are laaaaaame. I have a dream. A dream in which false hood louvers, wal mart hub caps, and fake exhaust holes are all sent to a secluded island, then an atomic bomb is dropped on said island.

To each his own, I guess-- I used to dislike the whole Mugen body kit(especially the exhaust tips) but it seems to have grown on me as time went by.

It would blend so well with the look I'm going for-- maybe one day I can actually have another exhaust put in to ease away from the fakeness haha.

I feel the exact same way Zuriel, but I want to keep my theme all Mugen and the rear just grew on me.

MUGEN MUGEN MUGEN MUGEN MUGEN

I have the funds set aside, just waiting until I stop carpooling in December
