I think the lights look great but I can assure you they are not Japanese Domestic Market. They are a rare sight in Japan because they are an aftermarket modification just like everywhere else. One of these days I will fit them to my 2019 lunar silver GK3.

Yeah I'm sure he's talking about the pillars I put on. I don't care about JDM, FBI, IRS, CDC. I just think they look great, and wanted them so I can blind would be rear enders LOL. But look at that sweet antenna I bought off someone

agreed, they do look awesome. really completes the rear end, esp when combo'd with a shark fin antenna


to his credit though... I'm inclined to say... its prob true that its not jdm. just as much as the jdm rear wiper mod is not really jdm (when I was in tokyo, I looked for myself ... all gk5 out there have regular rear wipers, just like us out here in the usa, lol)

To me JDM is a bunch of initials I don't care about lol. I just like to make my car look "cool", and different from the 10,000 of them around me.

Sorry, yes I meant the led rear pillar lights. I agree it doesn't matter whether they are JDM or not - they look great. They don't, unfortunately, come as standard on Fits in Japan. And neither did vertical rear wipers. In fact I have never seen one here. I have seen a few Fits with led rear pillar lights here but only a few. I'll likely fit some one day.

I haven't noticed much, in truth, that is different about Fits here. The GD1 hazard warning light thing was true. I don't think the badge thing was true. The rear quarter windows and windscreen have a clever TV antennae built in as TV comes standard on the higher trims. That really is a Japan only thing I think.

I saw someone with modified Fit the other day, He had removed the Fit badge from the rear and replaced it with a Jazz badge from Europe or Thailand or somewhere so people here do the same thing sometimes.

Door Handel gets a cover tweeters covers oem and the gk5 trash can

Got some oem Acura Integra tweeters cover to cover the Kenwood tweeters I like the oem look less flashy

Please note: the Rust-Oleum Plasti-dip stuff DOES NOT hold up well.... I repainted mine with some actual paint this week.

Had to remove my stickers because they started to peel as well 😪

I'm actually upset about that.

I had to replace my wiper motor because I destroyed the post trying to pull the blade arm off (it never did come off), and got one from cheaperhondaparts. It works well, but it's worth noting that it didn't come with a nut for the arm, and the threads didn't match those on the original part.





While I'm here: has anyone figured out a good way to smoke out their tail lights??

Also: any suggestions for good looking aftermarket headlights? My passenger side is taking on water and I can't fix it... At almost $300 each, for OEM, I might as well find something I like the look of...

Heh...maybe today, was dark when I got them on, car needs a wash, and the garage is too dark and cluttered to get a good pic...although it's raining and is gonna rain for the next few days, but I will get a pic or 2. They're heavier gauge stainless than I expected, pretty robust feeling. Am tired of ABS plastic covers, at this point

I recommend tint film for smoke out effect, i think there are smoke clear plasti dip like spray too

I have yet to find a good solution for headlights, jdm import? Or those ebay ones...
