Thumbs up First exterior mod

Got a Silver 5speed Fit Sport this past monday. It will be used for hauling alot of the baby stuff in a few months when our first child is born. To get ready for that I purchased the rear bumper applique from Honda.
Part # 08P48SLN100 . Cost me $55 and came with easy to follow instructions. Basically clean the area well and stick on the applique with the 3m tape backing. Very easy to do and took all of 10 minutes... Actual sticking/smoothing took all of 2 min the rest was making sure it was centered properly...
Looks good and hopefully will protect the rear bumper from some of the inevitable dings from loading/unloading....
I know TTIWWP they will be up soon...

It does finish off the back nd and hey if you do decide to carry anything it may end up saving your bumper from a dig....

I think it's a great idea to install one since the back end of the Fit tends to get really dirty for some odd reason (i think it's been discussed in other threads before). With the applique on, you can just wipe that area clean and you will have a relatively clean look on your bumper. I am a clean freak so this product really appeals to me.
