Kisaragi's White Orchid Pearl GK5 *Warning lots of pics*
Bought my 2015 Fit in August 2014. Installed a short list of mods over the course of 2 years and thought I share some of them.
It's a 2015 white orchid pearl Honda Fit EX 6-speed manual. At the time, it was pretty rare for a dealer to have a manual available. Eventually I found one about 90 miles away from my home.
Didn't really do much to my Fit. But I like how it turned out.
-Exterior
Red Honda emblems, front and rear
Visual Garage Mark I shark fin antenna
Piaa hyper white H4 headlight bulbs
Piaa ion yellow H8 fog light bulbs
LX rear garnish
-Interior
2015 Honda Civic SI shift knob
Honda rubber floor mats
Steering wheel cover
Clazzio seat covers
-Performance
HPS short ram intake
HKS hi-power silent axle back exhaust
-Suspension
SWIFT sport springs (4H216)
KONI orange STR shocks (for GE8)
Ultra Racing rear anti-roll bar
-Misc.
Plastidip OEM 16" EX wheels
Red stitching on OEM shift boot
Shaved rear "Fit" emblem
J-Tech LED wedge light bulbs
A couple things I want to do in the future if money/time permits, would probably be projector headlight retrofit, Sparco Assetto Gara wheels, camber bolts, and paint the brake calipers black. But that's it for now.

The Piaa fog light bulbs have a nice yellow hue. The Piaa headlight bulbs are bright, but didn't really provide much more lighting compared to stock.
I didn't like the EX chrome garnish, so ditched that and got the LX black garnish. Also put on the honda red emblems and shaved the rear Fit emblem.
Recently added a shark fin antenna after contemplating almost over a year if I wanted to spend $90 for a roof ornament, but in the end I caved in, lol. Plastidipped the wheels black.
Here's a close up of the Visual Garage Mark I shark fin antenna.
Tried to get a black with red stitching theme for the interior.
I had Buddy Club N+ for GE8, but they were too stiff, so I ended up getting the Swift springs and Koni orange combo. Also added the Ultra Racing rear anti-roll bar.
Side view to give you a general idea of how much the Swift springs and Koni orange will lower your GK5.
HPS short ram intake. They have a cold air version available.
HKS hi-power silent axle back exhaust
Side view to give you an idea how much the tip sticks out from the rear bumper. The bumper section near the exhaust tip hasn't melted or anything, but the exhaust gases and stuff will stick to it and you'll have to clean it periodically.
That's all folks. Thanks for taking the time to view this thread.

Thanks 2Rismo2. I normally claybar that part of the rear bumper after washing my car. Love the HKS exhaust notes, just the downside is that you gotta clean your rear bumper of the exhaust gunk.
DannyJ7, visited your thread and you're right, haha.

But it is fairly time consuming and alot of tugging and pulling on the cover since the seat cover is very tight fitting and you gotta put in some work to smooth out any creases. Took me about 2 hours.
The covers do add some cushion which makes the seat feel a little softer. I actually had to move the seat back one click because of the extra cushion.
Overall, a good product though a bit pricey.

Don't know the part number, but should be the size shown below.
Front: 123mm X 100mm
Rear: 92mm X 75mm
I bought it off Amazon from the link below.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They're fake and from China so not the best of quality, but looks good enough for me. The front emblem fits perfectly and the pins will go into the stock holes where the silver emblems sits, the rear will require you to break the pins and there might be a slight gap since the emblem is flat but the garnish has a slight curve. But the emblems been on for over a year with no problems.

Haven't updated in awhile. I took off the Ultra Racing rear sway bar because it didn't really feel effective since I don't drive it that aggressively, lol. Was also kinda annoyed at the clunking noises that occassionally travel into the cabin. Bought Sparco Assetto Gara wheels with General Altimax RT43 tires.
Wheel spec: 15x6, +43 offset, tire spec: 185/60/R15. Looks alright, the grip is only slightly better than stock but the combined weight is lighter and the price is decent.

Had some free time so took some time to paint the brake calipers black. Didn't really do that great of a job but it's good enough for now. Looks a little better now.
I bought these projector headlights from Aliexpress. This will probably be the last time I order any car related products from Aliexpress because although these headlights look decent, the quality is lacking. The passenger headlight lens has residual fingerprints on the inside, the wiring is kinda sketchy and I'm hoping the LEDs don't burn out. Although they advertise this headlight as plug and play, for the most part it is, but you still gotta tap a power source for the DRL and the turn signal connector does not fit into the one on the headlight. If the high beam bulb burns out, you probably have to bake open the headlight to get to the bulb. Honestly, I think I was better off purchasing a retrofit kit from TRS and performing the projector retrofit on the stock headlight assembly.

Sadly, I had to immediately take them off and have been using my stock headlights again. One thing they don't tell you is that the 3 strip of LEDs that are normally your parking/turn signal lights continuously flash when the headlights are turned on.
I contacted that Aliexpress seller and asked if perhaps something is wrong with the circuitry cause there's 2 circuit boards that they stuff inside behind the headlight bowl. But apparently this is how they function because it's "popular" demand from customers. I agree, it would make you fairly "popular" with the police, pedestrians, and other drivers with those bright flashing LEDs.
Long story short, I am very displeased with these headlights in terms of quality and function and am in a dispute with that seller.
