Love the look that strut bar is good but it has some flex to it I have one the is 2” wide for less flex
It's a chassis brace, not a strut bar. It doesn't bolt to the strut top bolts like a normal strut bar. The black side plates bolt the firewall area to the front inner fender arches for added support. So it strengthens the sides more than anything. Not sure how functional it really is but it sure looks nice.
Cusco front bars are all currently discontinued otherwise they are my go-to brand. Otherwise J's Racing makes some gold front chassis braces for around $400 shipped. Almost 4x what this one runs. Tanabe is a still a great Japanese brand and it matches the Sport trim nicely.

Replaced my OEM battery with a 51R thanks to tips on this site. Particulars:
Factory battery lasted 3.5 years. Not a daily driver. SoCal location.
Purchased Interstate 51R from Costco. $78 after exchange, not including local taxes.
All radio settings remained intact. No other programming necessary.
Battery fit fine in stock tray. Mine is a “made in Japan” so had the longer tray.
Time to swap was about 30 minutes. It took longer to go to/return from Costco.
Thanks to all for the tips.

@DaveGee You mentioned your car is Japan-produced. Can you please tell me which year your Fit is? Mine is 2016. I'm looking to upsize my battery after it seems to run out of juice/die so easily.

Bought a clutch and pressure plate kit to send to Golden Eagle along with my block. I am having them balance the rotating assembly with the clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. I am hoping I can spin this thing to 8500 RPMs!!! I could not find a lightweight flywheel for the GK Fit, and it is the same part number as the GE8 cars as well. I KNOW they're out there. I can find the GD ones all day, it's weird... I guess I'll just drop a thread in on the 2nd Gen folks and see who has what flywheel...
Just got it and Install it happy with it only has one pre setting that is for just bolt ons call ktuner and said that will get more tune pre setup but for right know the gk5 is running south tune header pipe intake and exhaust with piping I’m thing 130 at the wheels I’m running 215 50 r16 and I’m churp tire in second and the gk5 is manual so I’m love the ride
Goint to see if I can install tunerview I’ll let you guys know I have to find a tablet I my have one in the garage
