Installed 5mm spacers on the back but i think I'm going to take them off till i get longer studs. Found a few posts recommending 7 turns for lugs & i get 5. Plus i actually bought 8mm gor the back & 5mm front but 8mm gave me 3 turns & cleveland is too bumpy to trust. Love the handling though, car feels more stable & it wants to hold a straight lin better.

Dont under estimate the megan coilovers. I also purchased these. 32 way adjustable (i run them full soft on the street) the ride is perfect and I found even better than stock. The best part running 16" rims right out of the box they are lowered perfectly.
On on another not I had 2 racecar drivers take my car up the street today and they both said the car rides like a dream.

I scraped out the box running 12 clicks front so i raised bout 1/2in. Then it felt floaty on the highway so i raised the back 5/8in with the 12clk fr and 10 rear. Now im I'm happy although if I'm running late there is an overpass on the highway I catch air over 75. Way better than oem imo.
Hi, Quick Question,
is the JDM Fit RS REAR Door Handle also Matt Silver like the front one that you installed on the pictures above?
Also, do you know the Part Number for those?
Thanks

Dealer valve adjustment and service
Got valves done at the dealer yesterday, they were overdue, hadn't been done in ~54k miles, now at 71k. Tech said they did need adjustment, not specific what the before/after clearances were, but most likely tight exh/loose intakes as most others have found. Also had the plugs changed, since they were already there with the cover off. ECU scan and road test, no issues found. Main reason was to inspect everything to find if something might be causing rather poor MPG. Only getting 28 city w/AC. I don't leadfoot, tires are pumped to 44PSI, 0W-20 synthetic, usually get 32-33. We agreed it just may be the seasonal ethanol blend in gas these days, hard to tell w/o buying a test kit and sampling stations to see who's got the lowest. I usually use Shell 87 or Wawa (don't know who their supplier is in Florida). Gonna try a few tanks of Mobil and Shell 93, maybe premium's have lower ethanol blend?

Hey BMW ALPINA, All 4 door handles are mat silver, as the front and rear are the same part. I purchased the handles via local auto importers, and they like to remove the part number tags probably to encourage you to order through them again, so no part number I'm afraid. Although it is a standard 2012 Fit RS part.
Hello,
After doing more research,
I just found the part number for the Fit RS door handle,
basically it is the same part as the USDM 2009-2010 Honda Fit Sport.
Here it is:
72120-TF0-J01ZA (Right Handle)
72160-TF0-J01ZA (Left Handle)
I think I am going to get it,
Thanks for the picture, I really like the Silver Handle on your car

I'm going to do an orange and grey theme
Got black mats with orange edging and am looking at some orange tape
Also a bright orange car seat
I think it is thicker, this morning, I actually compare my steering wheel to the picture above, and that JDM one hand that "THUMB" bulge on the 11 and 1o'clock position, while ours don't have that too..

It does feel more beefy in the hand compared to the stock, probably the thickness of the leather.
