With regards to the reflectors... I’ve been eyeballing the 2018+ RS LEDs from Japan. Quite the investment but ohhh boy are they pretty. They have blacked out sections that totally change the shape of the lamp and of course they have the sweet LED lines.
Downside? They cost at least two fit monthly payments!
I HATE TO SAY IT BUT I SAW A SET OF THESE ON "WISH.COM" THEY WERE CHEAP AND MIGHT NEED A BIT OF TRANSPARENT VINYL TO MAKE THEN RED I LOOKED PRETTY COOLTHOUGH
FWIW, I put some anti-seize on the mating surfaces before installing
It definitely looks better, but under heavy compression on either side I can hear some (not much) rubbing. I believe it may be coming from the (fabric-ish?) wheel well liners. At the top of the wheel wells, the liners don't sit flat against the fender like it seems they should.
I like the look of the black lug nuts too. The ad said they were "closed end", but they are in fact open all the way thru. Also, I just reread the ad and it says "Oversized and taper to ensure best contact design for aftermarket wheels not for factory oem wheels..." Hmmm...

DAMN THESE LOOK GREAT, MAKES ME WANT TO DO IT - CAN I GET A FURTHER AWAY PIC WITH A COUPLE DIFFERENT ANGLES
can.
Thankfully the manufacturer labeled it for me in case I forget what it is...
I found this bracket in the garage; I think it's a garage door track bracket? It seemed like a good fit.

Nice build man! The bus is way cool too. You're lucky you didn't strip your strut... like me way back Can't wait for pics w/ the springs!
Thank you for the positive feedback; here is the "finished" build, springs and all.

This is meant as a compliment...It looks way too good to be slow!
I wish Honda would offer your build with the 1.5t and 6-speed manual and call it a Fit Si. It has all the right looks to back up an Si badge. Just not the performance.
and the car goes up and down (front and back) without issue.

It does look faster than it is. Nice tasteful mods. The flaps even look better than I would have thought, lol!
For the shark fin, you could get an OEM Honda antenna for the current gen Civic or HRV. Have a search on the forum and you'll find both have been installed successfully on a Fit. Also way cheaper (and probably better quality) than overpriced Beatsonic or Visual Garage antennas.
In the event that it dindt match, I would have returned it to amazon, and went with a black one. you could in theory buy a bunch of white ones, and return the ones that dont work out. OR just get a black one and call it a day?
As always, try to get it for cheaper on amazon warehouse deals, example:
, and NO mud flaps...
Can't wait for pics w/ the springs!
