Hey guys! Been a member for awhile, always lurked but decided to document my build as it goes along. Alittle about myself names Rick I’ve been into cars as long as I can remember and have built up a few the say the least. I use to be very active on many forums like jdmu,Honda-tech nwp Zilvia etc. as we all know forums have died off but glad this one is still some what active. I’ll try and keep this thread alive as I get things for the fit.

 

Now for the gk5 content. My car is a 2018 Honda Fit sport 6mt in lunar silver metallic. Drove up 2hrs to pick up an orchard white sport 6mt and to my disappointment the car had a super returned funk all over it. Super dark tints all around and like 200 miles on the odo not a new car in my book so I settled for the silver. I think it complements the red and blk very well in my opinion. On to the pics!


Bye bye mx5 club



4/29/18 hello Fit sport!



4/30/18 went and got 55% solargard tints done. Not a fan of dark tints so I found a happy median.






4/30/18 tried out some shift knobs I had at home. Yes I hoard new jdm parts lol
Mugen 5speed gen2. This is a 5 speed version which brings a decal and don’t shift miss plate which I won’t use obviously since it’s 6 speed.



Carbing high grip in silver. Decided to keep this on for the time being. the polish look was driving me crazy so I put it in my magnetic tumbler with stainless media to satin it out a bit. Match’s the silver trim much better now.





Also put on one of these little tein magnetic cell phone holders cause they look cool.

 

5/13/18 decided to fish alittle before the mother’s day festivities and snapped a couple of pics.

 

dang..... where can i get one of those tein phone holders tho, lol.

 

update.... wow, $13 bucks? maybe I'll pick up 2 .... lol

TEIN.com: Goods - ONLINE SHOP

 

It works pretty well for me, idk how it’ll work with bigger heavier phones but I use it on an iPhone 6 regular and it seems to hold up.

 

5/18/18 received these oem all season rubber mats today, tomorrow going to install philips x-tremevision h4 and Nokya hyper yellow 35w h8 bulbs. Hopefully it won’t look to ricey

 

the xtreme vision will look good. i did a brief comparo

Fit looks really great; very nice Sport kit. Looking forward to updates Also, very nice previous rides

 

If you're a bit keen on your shifter matching your interior, you might like the 2016 CR-Z's shifter. It has the same black leather and copper/orange stitching as the Fit Sport interior.

 

Thanks guys. Ok it’s been raining here for like 2 weeks straight finally got the time to do the led tag lights. Also placed a small order on some things I wanted. On to some pics.







So to my surprise I had to file down the led cause it didn’t fit in the housing no biggie.

 

So I got a shift extender. Position is great, shift throw feels like I’m driving a semi truck. I need a short throw asap. I also satin finished it to match.

 

6/5/18 found the courage to battle the 95 degree weather and installed mugen visors,door protectors,cusco short antenna and clear 7443 bulbs.

 

6/10/18 bought these enkei nt03 thought it would look cool so I pulled the trigger. Specs are 17x7 +38. They have continental run flat 205/45/17. I took them off cause I want to powdercoat them gloss black and add 225/45’s. Now I need to look for coilovers ASAP. Also bought these bbs for a friends e30 build.

 

Good updates so far man. Wish my girl had gotten a manual, I'm a sucker for some JDM shift knobs.

 

where did you get your visors from?
