Installed some blue fogs on my yellow Fit. Nice contrast and they run much cooler than the stock bulbs.



Technically they are against the law (only white and amber are allowed) but there's enough folks with blue knock-off HID's for low beams that these shouldn't get too much attention.

Owned my 2018 Fit Sport for the past 3 years now, and I have finally decided to give it some upgrades:

- K&N drop in air filter
- K&N cabin air filter
- Rear cargo cover
- Shark fin antenna
- WellVisor side window shade
- 6000K white LED head lamp bulbs
- 3000K amber fog lamp bulbs
- 25mm rear wheel spacers
- Progress rear sway bar
- RS rear spoiler replica
- Sumole air cooler

This is my expendable daily beater and have no intentions to turn it into a pseudo race car (I have another car for that).

Did you used an aftermarket shark fin antena or one from another Honda model.... ?

Got a cheap one off of ebay. The paint matches close enough and the radio reception is fine. I had to replace the crappy double-sided tape they gave me with better ones from 3M.

Got it tinted 5% all around with 50% on the windshield. So much better than the fish tank look.

We've owned our 2015 Fit since new, still only has 30k miles as it's been an extra car for us. Recently decided to freshen it up and throw some new parts at it over the past month.




  • Enkei RPF1 16x7 +43 - Tire Rack
  • Continental DWS 06+ 205/50/16 Tires - Tire Rack
  • Custom RPF1 Honda Center Caps - eBay seller "thealexasterphe"
  • Muteki Classic Open Ended Chrome Lug Nuts - Evasive Motorsports
  • Authentic Mugen Visors - Blackhawk
  • LX Rear Hatch Garnish - HondaPartsNow
  • Genuine Honda Red H Badge Front/Rear - ICB Motorsport
  • Debadged rear Fit badge
  • Downstar license plate bolts - Downstar
  • Honda License Plate Frame - Amazon
  • OEM FK8 Civic Type R shift knob - ICB Motorsport
  • Acuity Stainless shift knob collar - Acuity
  • Progress RSB/brace - Throttl

Last night I installed:
  • OEM 2018+ Cargo Cover (08U35-T5A-100) - College Hills Honda
    • Can confirm the 2018+ part fits pre-facelift cars 100% at ~half the cost, seriously Honda?)
  • HPF Red Floor Mats (08P15-T5A-110) - College Hills Honda
  • HFP Sport Pedal kit (08U74-T5A-100A) - College Hills Honda

Very nice.

For the past 50K+ miles on my 2015 I have also used 205/50/16 Tires and it makes a tremendous difference in ride quality and handling over the OEM FIrestones.

I really like the look and placement of your cell phone holder to the left of the steering wheel. Can you please give me more information on the name/model/ and where you got it? Thanks.

Put it in another thread, but I had the dreaded starter issue at 44,000mi.

Got replacement starter from DB Electrical. $88

PRO-TIP: replace the PCV value while you have the starter off. WAY easier access.

I'll see if I can track down who makes the phone holder, it does work well and puts it in a good location off that upper vent. I don't see it in my Amazon history so this could end up being a mystery.

Edit- It appears to be this mount:
https://www.aukey.com/collections/ph...s/aukey-hd-c58

I couldn't agree more on the handling and comfort with 205/50/16 tires. It's by far the single best change we've made so far, the Fit feels far more in control and safe on the highway, the tires we got are a lot quieter than the OEM Firestone tires with much better grip in dry and wet, and it now rides much smoother. It really was an upgrade in every way and I'm only disappointed that we didn't do it sooner.

Did you get a shark fin antenna. That's a nice, easy addition.

I haven't, I have a Perrin stubby antenna on there currently.

Next mod will probably be rear spacers, I have some H&R 15mm DRS spacers and extended ARP studs ready to go for that and I'll probably roll the fenders at the same time, I have the Eastwood roller. I've been trying to decide what I want to do for suspension, I'm eyeing the BC DS digressive coilovers but still undecided.
