What did you do to your GE fit today?
yep i'm gonna keep the V1 for now. getting used to the creaking (albeit its less shocking now). it does interfere with the crz under tray however it will bend and ull still be able to put the clips on.
The problem with ordering straight from Japan is that most Japanese vendors won't ship overseas. Tenso is a mail/shipping forwarder from Japan which provides you a Japanese address to use for the Japanese vendors to ship items to you. They charge a small handling fee and a fair shipping price to you. Now you can even select what kind of mode you want (AIR, SEA, LAND).
This method saves you some money and enables you to get some "rarer" JDM parts straight from Japan. Some of the import stores online sell these parts to the US for a premium. For example, the Cusco Lower Arm Bar Ver 2 is $198 from Beangarage. Ordering from Rakuten/Tenso, same item cost me about $120.

I just order the JDM Mugen Fit RS Rear LED Fog Light Part# 34400-XLFD-K0S0
at this store on Rakuten:
naniwaya | Rakuten Global Market: Infinite /MUGEN LED rear fog light fitting RS/GE8
There was an error on the first transaction and had to cancel order,
but it goes through on the second try (I Hope) hahaha....
I was not planning on buying today, but I got a 20x points rewarded
from the transaction I done in December and that point expired in about 1 months,
and the value of the point was 12,628yen,... so I just got to use it before it expired...
update: the store decline to accept US Credit card, only accept Japan credit card...
refund my money...
oh well, got to order from different store then...
hopefully this time no problem...

I drove an hour and a half to finally see my fit that is being stored up North.
I can not wait for spring! I installed my new suede shift boot and suede arm rest and love the look. Also got on the Jdm front badge on my mugen grill.
Pretty happy to see the car,I miss driving it every day.

Today.... I reverted my radio to stock... mostly.
I didn't move the clips and the vent trim back so it's just sitting in the dash, plus I don't know where I put the USB connector that goes from the module to the main unit (not sure why I didn't leave it attached)...
So listening to only radio and not my iPod really sucks. I mean, sure Katy Perry isn't bad, but you can only take so much of the same three songs on different stations before you want to murder the "DJs." Then the rest of the songs (that I KNOW are from different artists) sound like rehashes of each other...
Oh, I did the reversion because my $1400 Kenwood DNN991HD decided to brick itself. I was backing out of a driveway after delivering their food and stalled out. As soon as I restarted the Fit, the DNN locked itself up (didn't have time to check and ignored it till next day). Portions of it seems like it's still working but no idea what else to do. Need to contact Crutchfield or Kenwood and see what I can do (bought 6 months ago, so it's beyond warranties).

I can only handle Katy Perry when I'm looking at her. That way I don't have to pay attention to what she's saying. :P
Use the Aux port? Or, if you want to get some looks, go driving around town with three of your buddies, wait until the local news comes on, then CRANK IT and everyone starts headbanging and waiving the devil horns at other cars.

After waiting a week to install, my Tein S. Techs are on! It was kinda late by the time we finished installing them due to some issues with the strut mount and my axle kinda slipped out... oops 
So I will clean the car up and possibly have more pics up either today or tomorrow.

Noise management/Backup sensors
Had this noise from the back seats, and after some research realized that there were some missing parts... probably taken out by the guys who changed the leather cover on the seats...

Also took down the rear bumper, made some deadening paint and installed the back up sensors, and the unit...
