Thanks @SeekerZero for the taillights! Super legit guy!
Ahh, but then the aero factor of shaving makes up for any hp lost.

Car looks great!

What kind of tint are you using? It looks dark from the picture.

HDR mode in a dark garage focusing on a lit LED.

Those tail lights fit Raspberry so perfectly. Looks really nice.

I don't know about the set you bought, but the one I bought had two sets of wired connectors inside where the turn signal plugs in. This way, I can swap between sequential and normal signal flash.

Thanks! 5% rear and 35% fronts. The angle definitely makes the front look darker in the pic

Neat. I did not know about this feature when I owned the lights.

Put the Sport front bumper back on. It really does change the look of the car so much. Now to find a lip for it. Those don't really exist anymore, right?

I installed some JDM tails I bought off a member here. Really like how they accentuate the body lines on the Fit compared to the stocks

Happy to hear that.

Yeah, things get easier if you unplug the wiring harness from the body, but it is a tight fit in general.

Bought Beatrush 2 point lower arm bar a few minutes ago:
S84206PB-F | LAILE




I never bought this because it won't fit a Honda Fit GE with AT Transmission due to the lower engine (rubber) mounting hitting this bar, however...
my next project will be swapping engine to Honda Accord K20C4 (2.0L Turbo) with 10 speed AT as my preferred engine and if the 10 speed AT too big for Honda Fit GE, then I will be "forced" to use K20C1 from the current Civic Type R with it's manual transmission...

and hopefully, the Beatrush 2 point lower arm bar will fit those new engine, not to mention, I will need more rigidity upfront due to almost triple the stock power and torque

This project hopefully can start 6 months from now after my first ever mandatory SMOG check but I worry Beatrush no longer produce stuff for GE by that time, so better buy it now then never...
beside, Rakuten shows that Beatrush only have 1 left in stock

Now, I need to buy another car before I start this engine swap project because I need a daily driver and this engine swap project might take maybe 6 months to complete since it will be a complicated project...

Hmmm... I am torn now between a used 2018/2019 330Xi Touring (since my current job require me to have SUV/hatchback/station wagon to transport Robot) or a used 2018 M3 CS or just a plain vanilla 2018 M3 Competition Package... (but this mean I need to buy another used Honda Fit GE just for my work)
or be more patient and just buy a new Honda Fit GK or Civic Hatchback for now that I can give to my son when he goes to college next year then wait for the upcoming 2020 Audi RS6 Avant (Wagon) for my daily driver (and another keeper for life car )

what ever it is, in the near future, my current Honda Fit GE will be relegated to a garage queen just to remind me when life was hard and the Fit GE helped My Family and Me survived

Replaced my radiator in my 09' Fit Sport a/t Friday with help from a co-worker. Only 115k on her so far. Anyone else had to replace a radiator?

I'm almost at 165k miles and haven't replaced the radiator...

I think its better to ask WHY it needed to be replaced in the first place? This is not a wear & tear item, so it shouldn't need to be replaced unless damaged. And damage is mileage independent.
