What would you say is a reliable website or source to obtain parts, and what would be reliable way to install them if you don't have the technical know-how to do it yourself?

So much of working on cars is trial and error, troubleshooting, and research. You can build technical know how by doing simple services like oil changes, changing your air filters, etc. I will say the skid plate, general term for the tray under the engine for aerodynamics and cleanliness, is a mega-beeyotch on our car so be prepared for that. Having the proper tools helps
I’d say so because when I look at the “orange” stitching/trim on my 2018 sport it looks red immediately, but when you look at it too long you can tell that it really is orange. It’s an ambiguous color and I feel like this Mugen “black and red” matches it. I do hope that this is helpful, good luck. I would love to see more Mugen components on our cars.
Sir/ma'am that looks absolutely fantastic 💯💯💯 what kind of mods have you done to it?
the above pic shows most of the exterior mods
from the back you can see the rally mudflaps better, window louvres, carbon hatch trim cover, rear diffuser (also, 1 inch spacers on the back wheels, 5 mm on the front wheels):
hood vents
bull bar light mount, 6.5" rally lights w/ removeable grills
closeup of this carbon airfoil thing or whatever it's called:
interior mods are silver trim pieces on the a/c vents, speakers, shifter knob, and armrests, some grey molded floormats, blue LEDs
BOSE speakers, and the silver speaker trim picks up the blue lights really well:
LED in the armrest storage:
FIT-logo pedal covers vs original:
heads-up speedometer (terrible photo - it's super crisp and bright irl - it works using GPS, so I trust it more than the car's built-in speedometer:
under-the-hood changes are limited to dual gas-lift-struts and the silver-Sharpied HONDA logo - otherwise the engine is bone-stock (why mess with perfection?):
silver shifter trim piece, grey molded floormats
the glamour shot:

Hi,
I was wondering if you used a hardwire kit or the cigarette accessory port to power your dash cam?
If hardwire kit, which fuse did you end up using?
under-the-hood changes are limited to dual gas-lift-struts and the silver-Sharpied HONDA logo - otherwise the engine is bone-stock (why mess with perfection?):
This whole build is super cool. Where did you get the pedal covers and the gas struts? I've been looking for pedal covers and keep striking out on anything good, and gas struts seem like a solid idea, generally speaking.
Finally buttoning this thing up. Third state move coming up in the last three years. Maybe on the road this spring? Going to do a MVP to start so no turbo, no rear mount radiator, no pedal box, I have all those parts but there's plenty to shake out as is. Also no lexan yet, no aero...
I have a 2018 Fit EX-l and I cannot stand that chirp sound that comes from the car at the least oppportune time. It is that annoying chirping broadcast that comes from the back of the car and happens when the car doors' shut too quickly.
My question is, has anybody disconnected that chirping sound and if so where can I find it?
