Those window visors will work wonders on the GK water infiltration (driving with window cracked or turning a corner in the rain with window partially open or opening the door in the parking lot in the rain).

Dad’s new ride.

My dad’s car was totaled so we went and ordered a 2019 Fit EX. He picked up the car last week and I had ordered the LED door sills, leather wrap for the steering wheel and Husky floor mats prior to the car’s arrival and with the nice weather we had this past Saturday, install them all. Very satisfied with all except for wanting to remove some of the stitches to add more double sided tape for better fit.

Next task is to convert either the fog light to DRL/fog or the front signal into a switchback DRL/signal. Still researching on sockets and connector so I can keep the wiring as much original as possible.
edit:
added hydraulic hood support struts to car.

Looks great! That should have been standard.

I'm not good at judging photos, does it look like the rear disc kit will work with stock 15" steel wheels? I still use those for snow tires a few months every year.
