installed spoon rearview usdm gk rearview mirror! install was super easy and literally took 5 minutes. arrived pretty quick from spoon usa, about 80 shipped
it had pre-attached 3m foam adhesive backing, just cleaned up the original mirror and stuck on the new mirror on top. FOV is much better and it helps a lot with glare at night. if you move your head over just a little bit you can see your whole blindspot on the passenger side. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...8a7cd3964.jpeg |
How do you like your dashmat?
I bought one decades ago for my BMW. Considering the large dash on the Fit, I figured it'd benefit from one on there too. Glare has been reduced to 0 with it and it makes the interior a little more cozy. |

Does anyone know if the Bride/Recaro seat rails from the JDM GK5 will work on the USDM ones? Was debating on replacing the driver seat with either a Bride Stradia, Euroster, or a Recaro SR-7 but didn't really want to do a lot of custom seat rail work.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...5cd9a72b87.jpg Bunch of seat rail fab. Momo brackets on order. Likely wil just bolt to the frame to get as low as possible. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...2555450575.jpg The rear mounting locations are at an angle. |

its great, the glare from the dash was driving me crazy and this cuts it down to almost nothing. it gets a lot of compliments which is surprising. i got the suede type mat which i think looks a little cleaner than the more carpety material and i like that theres a cutout for the light sensor for auto headlights
it attracts dust and lint like CRAZY though. its not too hard to clean at least i did cut the dashmat logo off because it was annoying too lmao I have the "carpety" one on both cars and it never looks dusty or dirty. I guess that's a benefit of the material- dirty or clean, it looks the same lol |

I didn't find anything immediately available. If they only make a driver's bracket it will not work because right hand drive. The bolts in the floor board are different heights and widths horizontally and vertically. If they sell a matching set and the passenger system is equal in strength to the driver's, that will work.
I can't remember where I saw it, but I think someone has managed to install the Buddy Club bucket seat with matching rails (I'm only 90% sure those rails are for the JDM model). Unfortunately, I'm not trying to install a full side-mounted bucket seat. |

I'm sorry, what do you mean?
In my post I was referring to most late model FITs being mostly autos and not manual (at least up here in Canada). ...at least in my observations. |

So the little things count for so much more. Pretty much stock but, with black paint, an 8-ball shifter puts a smile on my face every day. Went LED bulbs all-around (waiting on plate bulbs) today, but may switch back if the hyper-blink gets too annoying. Hyper-blink: damaging or just annoying? Cheers, yinz. |
Today I replaced the windshield fluid motor and both nozzles. (175K miles)
At anything over 55mph the sprayers basically just hit the bottom of the window. I've tried adjusting the previous nozzles, no real change. 1. Nozzle change. No difference, even with adjustment. ($15) 2. Motor change. Better, but still shit over 60mph, maybe slightly better. ($40) My next step is to try and blow out all the lines. There was some stuff at the bottom of the washer tank, but the screen on the motor is pretty fine so don't expect much to be in there. Car is garage stored and gets a wash every week in the winter. I've owned the car since new (2016) and don't recall this problem for the first few years of ownership. Anyone else having the same issue? The threads here mainly talk about not working at all. |

The problem is that if I'm driving in slushy weather on an Interstate, and my windshield is blasted with slush from a truck, the washers will be useless.

More Lift for the LiftFit
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...e8a984a93.jpeg
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...de0b8a65a.jpeg 27 inch all terrains up front and 29.3 inch mud in the rear. About 3 inch total lift in the front and around 6 inch total lift in the rear. Installed roof rails and roof rack and cut fenders up. Will need to source some fender flares and install my off-road lights. Also installed some LED headlights. I can see at night again! She's ridiculous...but I love her anyway. |

Haha, very true! Although mine looks the same as yours underneath, as I have ripped all the fender liners out and cut quite a bit.

Like you intentionally removed the fender liners? What for? I thought their purpose was to keep water from splashing into the engine bay which seems like a good thing especially if you're planing on a lot of back roads.

So not sure if this is an OK place to ask but anyone have pictures of a fit with blue accents on the interior? Been thinking of getting a blue Hybrid Racing shift knob and that means I'd probably want any future accents to match it. Or also if there's some with exterior or engine bay blue theme on a white body. Thanks.
