Justin,
Did you end up just using 3M on the garnish? I'm gonna do mine soon and wanted to know what were the lessons learned. The pics from the other thread are awesome.

That is exactly what I'm looking for.....Where exactly did you get it? Wings West doesn't even list any parts for Fits.....was it painted already, is it just taped on and finally how much?
Thanks for the Pix!

So Justin, does your hatch stays up in the colder days now that you added the Tail Garnish (extra weight) to it?

good thing I check these threads haha...no problems with the tailgate garnish, holding on like a champ! I used the double sided tape AND silicone to bond it to the rear hatch. Hatch doesn't sag either, opens fully even on the coldest days here in Calgary.

If you want one of these, your options are limited, as far as I know you can only get one from HondaFitTuner.com

So heres a question on the Seibon rear garnish. Is the rear garnish the piece that the honda emblem sits on? If so what happens to the honda emblem. Can you still put it on. I see no groove in the picture. I'm really curious, if it fits nicely and I can still have an emblem then I'm ordering it tom.

Here is some picture of my tail gate garnish.

Dryfitting the new unpaited garnish on the car:


Here is the painted garnish mounted on the tailgate. On this images the new tail lights in Altezza Euro style is also mounted.


(click on thumbnail images to view a larger version).

I really like the look of the tailgate garnish, it completes the lines on the rear end of the car. It looks like it should have been there from the factory. And I also hope it will be nice in the winter and keep the ice and snow off that edge below the tail gate door.
