im wondering if this gap is a bit wide
rhe bumper is slightly loose
Hello Fit family Can someone do me a flavour? I bought this baby last summer I knew it had some front end repair and the bumper is very slightly loose Does the gap between the grill and the hood look about right???

Reason: Ggg
I think that's normal. That's for air intake. Mine has that too but mine's a 2009 model.
A quick google images search showed other models have gap too. I think that's normal looking at the headlights fitting
and bumper.
Replaced my plugs and coils and adjusted my valves at 65k since I was heard a knock upon acceleration and started getting a stumble at idle/low loads the other day. Surprise... surprise the middle two plugs came loose. Toasted coils

How long since you tightened them and at what ft-lb?
They were the OEM plugs untouched since I bought the car new. The NGK replacements got torqued to 20ft/lbs and will hopefully stay put this time.
I've got the originals in mine still at 82k miles, and I'm hoping mine didn't foul any of the coils along the way. It still feels as strong as ever, so I don't suspect anything. Finger's crossed!

What made you think that the coil packs were bad at 65K? Did you save them?
I read about fellow freaks changing spark plugs & coils
My 2012 has about 40,000 miles on it and runs well (I 🤔 think??)
wondering if I should change them just for fun
If so what spark plugs do y’all suggest??

I would wait until 60,000 if you are running fine . Then NGK # 6774 LASER IRIDIUM Premium Spark Plugs -- IZFR6K-13 for plugs and inspection of your coil packs , adjust valve lash and clean the Throttle body. The only reason I would change the plugs at 60,000 is because you’re already there and you should check them to make sure they’re tight , since so many Fits are suffering from loose plugs .

My Fit is at the dealer for oil change, fixing the aux input jack of the radio and rattling noise from the dash. I am going to ride my bike to pick up the car after work. I am glad that the bike fits inside the Fit with no problem.
How much did they charge/how long is it in the shop for the AUX input jack change?? After taking out the stereo and taking ut apart to see if I could adjust it myself and couldn't, the dealer told me that they'd have to send the whole assembly away to be fixed. Is that true?
