Oh yea. Regarding taking out the cupholder. In SilverEX's pic, you'll see a silver screw behind that black plug in the middle. Take out that screw, and the cupholder can be lifted out easily. You'll see under the cupholders the shaft for the transmission goes underneath the cupholders. You can just drill a small hole (doesn't need to be big, smaller than width of a pencil) to run the wires through, then silicone or put a grommet on the underside. It's a very easy mod. You just have to find a wire to splice it to. All done in under 10-15 minutes. Longer if you want to explore the car as you take pieces out and think of what other mods you can do lol ;-)

That's really cool. If I knew how to perforate leather nicely, I'd do it to my own seats and add a cooling seat mod.

I cracked up when he said "even a stupid American could install these" and "wish my helper had used de-oderant today". That guy is a riot!

Looking good. Are both the front and rear wheels flush? what are the specs and offset for future reference. I might get rims too but waiting for more options with coilovers.

After adding window tints, window visors, bumper applique, interior lighting kit, cup holder leds, plasmacluster filter dome lamp, interior led lights, splash guards, wheel spacers, wheel locks, aluminum foot rest/gas/brake pedals, oem all season floor mats, stubby mugen carbon fiber antenna, cargo liner, changing out the speakers, and dynamatting the doors and trunk area ....

Today I came to realize I've only had the car for exactly one month.

I've tried various LED headlight/foglight bulbs and hate em! Great color horrible spread! So all I'm waiting on now is for my TRS fogs to come by mail and retrofit kit, 3M clear wrap that SilverEX made a thread about, and a dual USB outlet to hardwire to the driver's side and I'll be content with modding ... Then I'll have to think of new rims!

That one sir!

Never had window visors before the Fit, but amazed at their usefulness in the summer heat.

I did track this company down with a quick online search of youtube... turns out its ƒV[ƒgƒJƒo[‚ΜƒI[ƒgƒEƒFƒA If you use Google to do a translation on the Japanese page you can muddle your way through it -- but seat covers are over $200 US and that's before shipping. I couldn't figure out the shipping page as it wouldn't translate very well...

205/45/17 offset is 45. Anything below 45 offset wether you lower or not may rub at times with weight or dip in the road.

I lowered my 2010 by an inch and ran the same setup without rub ever. Just infasizing again that anything below a 45 offset will need the fenders flaired or some tighter suspension.

Thanks for the info. You're running 17s? Is there a noticeable difference in acceleration? What kinda rims are they?

Yea I saw! I know they're making the Type H for the rest of the Honda vehicles. The guys at the 9th gen civic forums are waiting for them too. But I saw that some guys in the acura and certain year model accords were able to PNP the Subaru version with a little modification so I'm attempting the same. And like you also said, the GK has circular fogs.
