Your welcome, these are Enkei EDR9's. wider than stock so I you can feel more secure on high speeds and high winded conditions. with +45 offset, it will never rub. Love them!!
130Hp engine, can't tell on acceleration but definitely can feel better traction. I'm just looking for some nice mudflaps now, won't be lowering this car with all the hills we have here in San Francisco .

Oh so those are the EDRs! They look so much different than the pics I see on retail sites. So awesome! I'm gonna save your pics and admire your new shoes while I'm at work. Lol.

Please help me. After reading about the LED bulb I bought the Jtech 10x 194 168 2825 T10 5-SMD White LED Car light bulb to replace my stock map and dome lights.. I just got my 2015 LX today and tried to put one of these bulbs in my dome light. I could not get it to work, tried both ways. So tried to put the original bulb back in and cannot get it to work. To add to stupidity I tried putting the LED bulb in one of the map lights. Same result. I now have neither of my map lights and dome light working and also noticed the rear cargo area light is not working also. I wonder if you take the original bulb out it can be put back in. I guess I go the Honda dealer Monday, tell them what I did and see if new bulbs fix it. I put halogen bulbs in my 2012 Mustang map lights with no problem. I appreciate your or anyone else's thoughts on this. I will report on my new car after I get some miles on it. No issues until this. My VIN is 22335, built about 8-13-14. Thanks, Bill PS: How did the lights work for you?

A lot of posters on this site are just kids who don't even drive, let alone have a Fit. Make up stuff all the time, and do it in tag team with their likewise under-age friends.

Thank you guys for promptly responding. You are right I replaced the 7.5 interior light fuse and that fixed it. Except the dome light did not work, took cover off and bulb was not making good contact. When I tried to seat it better it slipped and disappeared in the headliner. So I need a new bulb and will take the fixture loose to put bulb in, that should prevent another lost bulb. At my age I should have enough sense to leave things alone.
Both items I got from eBay. The plasma cluster is quite expensive, about the same as if you were to get a plasma cluster air filter. That's what it is anyway, an air filter and lamp combo. It's universal fit for the Honda vehicles, but the instructions say specifically not for vehicles with the sunroof option. It fits in the GK with sunroof, but I believe it's more for the LX trim, only because the lamp harness in EX and above trims appear to have all their connectors with pins already - which the instructions require the far end connector to be free to insert a new pin into. But this is easily solveable by splicing. My only issue with it is that the filter does not turn off when I lock the car doors outside (like the lamp does when set to door). I wonder if it's a wiring issue, a JDM -> USDM issue, or if it's just designed that way since it 'is' an air filter thing ... and maybe it's supposed to rely on the car just turning things off after a set time frame (eg. like how the trunk light turns off on its own after 15 minutes or so, or how the car turns off after an hour when accessory power is on).
There's a pic with the light on. Its a soft white light and I think the whole area is an OLED.
The cup holder led is a DIY kit I also got on eBay. You just have to make a hole in the cupholder to put the wires through then I just spliced them to my existing illuminated interior lights I installed.
Pic with my blue water bottle in. Looks darker in that pic. With my yellow camelbak bottle it lights up the water like a Gatorade.

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.

The rear turn signals are t20 sockets, 7443 bulbs. I tried amber color bulbs (halogen and LED types) but the red on the tail lights still show them up as red. Not orange sadly.

Installed my spacers for the stock rims. I noticed that the car handles a little better I don't know if this is actually true but it looks a whole lot better.

As a member of this forum for the last six years (previously username gbaby2089)....his statement is quite false. I remember a couple dudes who didn't have cars back prior to the GE's introduction, however they made that clear from day one; they just liked the Fit.
