so I set it up so it had about the same intensity as the speedometer cluster backlighting and since
they are blue, they match the speedometer nicely.


The Classic White backlighting on the Advance RS is actually even much more dimmer by design:

Here are some of the description for the Advance RS:
ADVANCE RS Summary | Defi - Exciting products by NS Japan

ADVANCE RS is designed to match well with Japanese vintage cars with nostalgic features. The dial face is black and the numbers and tick marks are white. The night illumination is classic green and classic white(warm white). The color is switchable between two colors.
The illumination color is green and warm white. The two colors can be switched. The brightness is turned down to make a nostalgic mood.

They are really comfortable to the eye at night... especially as an eye candy for me

JK Alpina. But I think you have more gauges than the apollo rocket. LOL

Those bottom ones under the steering wheel are nuts. Don't they get in your way?

You are totally right
My Honda Fit is a very slow car, (even after the supercharger),
and I modified my car mainly for "LOOKS"...

but hey, I am very satisfied with all my modifications,
I never regret spending my hard earned money for this car...
and as long as it make me happy...

I can't wait until I have enough money to get
Recaro SR-7 ASM Limited Ruby...
then my car will "LOOKS" even faster...
just the looks though, it will always be a slow Honda Fit
but a slow Honda Fit that I love dearly

Ok, got to sleep now, need to find more money tomorrow so I can complete all my modification plan ...

note: thanks for the flux-capacitor idea,
but I think it will ruin the kind of looks that I after

I Feel Your Pain this Dude flys past me then comes to complete stop on highway 😩😐

Still though the fit is a champ for such a light car and even after an accident it only leaks windshield wiper fluid. With my bmws with half as many miles it was a new leak every month....

Its a loss. I bought it for 4k and fixed it up a little. Tires, Valve adjustment, spray painted plastics, oil, shifter, led interior with blue foot well and door lights.All in all about $4500. if i sold it i would be lucky to get $900.

Its alright what dosent kill you makes you stronger.
I feel for the family's that went through hurricane harvey and lost it all.
Im a lucky guy.

I like your car. Stickers aren't to my taste, but the car most certainly is.

Sport Pedals

Installed Sport Pedals on my 09 Honda Fit Sport. You would think that Sport Pedals would come installed on the Sport Model. Oh well, I like them

More power to you Alpina! Someone may have asked already, so please forgive me, but where did you get your carbon fiber steering wheel insert to cover the OEM silver? I've seen some on eBay for Civics of the same year and have been really tempted to snag one and see if it "fits." Please let me know!

Hello GrimesPrime,
I bought them on eBay, at that time the seller claim it is original J's Racing, but I doubt it,
still it fit very well and it match the carbon fiber on my J's Racing steering wheel so I bought it

oh, it is the same as the Civic one, in fact my J's Racing Steering wheel can be use for Civics too and some other Honda's that have similar design steering wheel...
so yes, the trim to cover the silver part is interchangeable with Civics of the same era

I always feel that the OEM Honda B Pillar Carbon Fiber Trim is "incomplete" because it only have the "insignia" that say "FIT" on one of them...
here is the BEFORE picture:






so I decided to "BALANCED" it with an "RS INSIGNIA"
(borrowed, actually stolen from Audi hahaha)...
I am just following Picasso, Good Artist Copy, Great Artist Steal

AFTER:
