Okay so new to this forum but I have been on here prior to purchasing my 2019 fit sport manual. I purchased the vehicle in May 2019. I have many things I want to do to it and I love the way this car feels/drives. So far righy after I purchased the car I got rust proofing, under coating, and 35% tints all the way around. More updates and mods to come.

Looking good! What was the first thing you wanted to do with it?

First thing I wanted to do was get an RS spoiler which I have, I just got finished with painting and got it installed. I love the way the RS looked and so many people on this forum said it couldn't be done on the USDM models. I also ordered the red honda badges from ICB Motorsports and J's Racing. I did just get done with installing the Mugen rain guards, and repositioning the rear wiper as well.

Excellent progress. Jealous of that steering wheel and the spoiler upgrade. '19/'20 MY have the best looking rear bumpers. Never was a fan of the large fake louvers on my '15 GK. Still haven't installed my RSR springs. Possibly by May. Too busy with our puppy and working from home!
Keep your pictorial updates coming. 🤙

I found the steering wheel badge very cheap on ebay! Less than $15! I am currently saving up for wheels and suspension as well as keeping my eyes peeled out for the JDM RS Kouki tail lights, I really want a set!

In other news I know it will be a while before wheels and suspension so I ordered and installed 25mm bolt in wheel spacers that are hub centric and installed some red honda center caps. Apologies for the dirty car!

Hello everyone, been a little while since last post. Since then I have gotten some parts for the Fit and installed a few so far.

SSR GP-Theta 16x8 +42. Wheels are currently being refinished and being powder coated Illusion Cherry Red.


I also picked up a progress rear sway bar and it took about 10 minutes in total for install


Lastly my honda emblems finally arrived from ICB Motorsports and was able to get those on. Can't wait for wheels to get done and looking for a set of coilovers currently!

Got a set of coilovers! Picked up a set of FEAL 441 Coilovers from facebook with only 8k miles on them. Installation took about 3 hours on a lift including the alignment. Drove around for a little bit, got the dampening adjusted 16 clicks below max for front and 22 clicks below max for the rear. I did not have to roll any fenders but will probably have to alter with the new wheels.

Looks great! No rubbing on turns with the Fit at that height?

That RS rear spoiler looks really good. Much better than European Jazz Dynamic rear spoiler, which in my opinion looks more clunky due to lacking holes.

I also like the red badges. They look really nice in white car. Pity that they probably wouldn't look as good in my skyride blue car.

Curious where you got that exhaust. Looks like a straight pipe?

how do you like the Mugen Windows Visor? Where did you order from? Is it worth the price? Thank you if you don't mind to share.
