Hi all. This is a thread to document and show all the changes I make to my 2015 Fit, which I purchased earlier this month, (May 13, 15)

Feel free to comment or ask any questions! I will also provide links to the products I purchase. Thanks for reading!

 

"Mugen Style" window visors. First upgrade! These are not in-channel design like the Weathertech visors, they use a strip of 3M instead. The fitment on these is pretty good, overall I'm satisfied with these.

Weathertech hasn't come out with visors for the new Fit yet, and plus these were about half the price.

Finished my headlights and foglights! Eventually I will spring for a retrofit kit, but for now here's the setup.


35w 6k HID kit from HIDeXtra | HID, LED, Xenon Vehicle Headlight Kits & Bulbs

Matching 6k LED fogs from Sirius LED Amazon.com: Pair of H8 DRL Fog Light LED 30w 6000k

Also bought the 10 pack of Jtech LEDs and did the interior, cargo, and license plate to complete the look.

My cell camera doesn't quite capture it, but here's an idea of how it looks...

 

I think these look great - I have '15 Black EX. Does the 3DM tape seem to stick pretty well? Any chances of those babies blowing off? Just wondering as this is my next purchase in a couple of days.

 

Aaron, I also have weathertech in-channel visors on my Acura. To compare, the material is a little thinner but still sturdy. They are definitely a good value as weathertech visors go for 75 bucks. As long as you install properly I don't think you'll have any problems. And they definitely look good on the black!

 

Good to know - thanks for the update. Will go ahead and pick these up. Have a great 4th!

 

Here come a few updates and pictures!

 

The Fit is handling like a dream. The steering response is crisp and sharp, much better equipped to take corners and twisty back roads. Body roll has been minimized. It feels solid and planted during acceleration and high speed cornering. The spacers and lowering springs have given the GK5 a subtle yet aggressive stance. In the rear the wheels now sit flush, and sit a little wider than the fender in the front. Most importantly, the suspension is still as smooth and comfortable as OEM, with better performance when you need it!

The Swift springs come in red, which I didn't like, so I primed and painted them a metallic blue. Also, If you are considering wheel spacers/adapters, go with H&R Trak+ series. They are pricey and worth every penny. Cheaper wheel spacers may put you at risk

(Progress RSB coming soon!)

 

I disconnected the hose from the intake manifold, and used a space piece of coolant line from my RSX to serve as a funnel.
It is under vacuum so it's pretty easy to not make a mess, lol.
I use 1/3 can of seafoam in my intake,
another third into the oil 100 miles before an oil change,
and the remaining third as a fuel additive.
I do this every 10k miles.

 

Got the Progress rear sway bar on the other day. Installation was easy as pie. You don't have to drop the rear bar or the springs or anything. It has made a good improvement to the ridigity of the car when pulling through corners, especially notable in complex corners, S-bends and the like. I'm very happy with my suspension modifications thus far, the car handles as it should! Here is my attempt at taking some photos while the car was on ramps. Yes, I painted those Swift springs a metallic blue, lol.
