The ARIES 3D floor mats I ordered last week arrived yesterday and were installed right away. Overall I didn't see any gaps when I installed them on the Fit, material looks durable and feels nice considering I wear dress shoes on a daily basis. What I saw is that it gather dusts (from the shoes) and it's fairly noticeable so I need to see if this can come off easily with water whenever I take it to the car wash. I can't recommend the product just yet as I want to road test it for about 3 months and see how it behaves.

I also ordered the Duraflex Type M sideskirts (mugen replicas) and got a set of new OEM orange body side moldings for really cheap on ebay, I dropped them off at the paint shop and will pick them up later today/tomorrow.

Better than having nothing back there. Full length wont accommodate the shorter jdm rear. Theres no such thing as a jdm rebar so i dont have any other choice.

Congratulations on the JDM Fit RS Rear Bumper + Mugen Fit RS Rear Under Spoiler + Mugen Fit RS Rear Fog Light

Are you also changing your front hood?

Thanks BMW alpina! What a long wait!

I am just getting my hood repainted to repair the rock damage. I am going to put 3M clear wrap to protect it so it doesnt chip again. I saved a little money since i was already painting the bumper

It looks like its more than just a sticker. How do you think youll transplant it? I think you should go for an orange interior lighting theme

Hey and it came with almost a full tank of gas

Also, its interesting that RS cluster only goes up to 180 km/h but regular fits go up to 220

Howard! Dibs on it depending on price and p&p ability
I really should be doing other stuff to prep for Wekfest but I always loved the amber lighting in other cars haha.

Because of the Japanese law of all cars not kei can only go maximum of 180km/h from the factory, kei cars are limited to just 140km/h. This is why speed cuts are done so often over here.

Ok

For COMPLETE story hahaha,
please click the link below:

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...er-emblem.html


I am curious on how the Amber Gauge would look like and test the function,
and I found out that

Everything works perfectly EXCEPT since JDM is CVT, the gear indicator do not work at all. (my car is AT).

what interesting is there is a FUNCTION that can show REMAINING Mileage before the gas tank is EMPTY !!! on the center digital display.

Too bad I already bought Defi Gauge in Blue lighting so It will not match this amber lighting.

Again the function like indicator that show Driving and Head Light on is working,
seat belt unfasten working, rpm and fuel level gauge works perfectly, engine check light working (I have engine error code now so I know hahaha) basically all working... and NO airbag warning error light on so that is good...







So if anybody wants to get the JDM Fit RS AMBER Speedometer MINUS the RS logo since I TRANSPLANT it to my USDM speedometer,
please PM me.

I want to sell it for just $120 including shipping to 48 states or $100 for local pick up in CA. Payment by PayPal but please send as a friend.

I bought it for $220 on Yahoo Japan plus shipping of around $80 (the box is huge, I guess the seller really want to pack it well but it cost me a lot on shipping hahaha)...
so my cost was $300 and I am selling it for just $120 which basically mean
that small RS logo cost me $200 hahaha...

Ok, and here is the final product along with Defi Gauge and Garage Amis Gauge hood with yellow stitching...
