Zeta Parts

OK I have done some appearance things to my Fit and I just can't stop! Parts are like potato chips - you just can't buy one, two or even three - LOL Anyway, was looking around on Zeta Products and I really love the bumper protector that has Fit on it so I am thinking about that - then I found the Fit tire valve covers and the Fit license plates screws. Has anybody else put these on their car and do you feel they were worth the money? Give me a shout as to what you think of them.

Cat :x

I bought the bumper protector and it is great quality, but I have not installed it yet. Will wait until spring and the bumper is warmer!!

Unhappy zeta products

I've been sponsered in many disiplines, both mechanical, mental, & physical.

As far as one might throw a like or dis-like on a product,... one must consider origin, race history, & specs.

Avoid Countries with hugh shipping prices, glamour titles of simple products, and over engineered pretty Hollywood junk.

Most Japan is Tight.

Canada is GOOFY. i'M a kite boarder - praze French dude - wannabe america euro products

California fly by night dot coms,...???

If you are not on a wish list,




Buy direct. Make a call to the Manufacturer, visit them, and then decide.

look up ,

Unorthodox racing products

talk about a ghost, machining, quality, parts being blown apart during a regular commute,...???


wheres the specs ghost dweeb?

Ok - well I agree with the Huh? above - I went ahead and ordered all the parts but the bumper guard decided that it would be better to wait- flyyellow made a good point that it would be better to apply when the bumper is warm and so is the weather. I'll plan to purchase it in the spring - so I decided to add the chrome gauge cluster just to see how that looks on the car. Thought it would help them stand out a little and got the tire valves and the license plate screws - the items are definitely not going to make or break the car but I believe that they will be high quality and perform as promised. Plus they will give the car a little more umph in the appearance department. Thanks for the inpute! You guys and gals are great!

that's the kind of stuff i'm doing to my fit, the little appearance stuff steps it up into a whole other level, IMO.

those chrome gauge clusters will look sweet i still want the little chrome strip you put right by the handle on the hatch.

well I ordered the steel door sills and they came last week...put them on this weekend and the two plates for the rear doors didn't fit well. the sills back there are slightly concave and the sill plates aren't flexible enough (and the sticky tape isn't strong enough) to sustain the bend. perhaps I'm alone on this one, as I think I remember others saying they were happy with them.

also bought the retractable cargo cover from Zeta, and that's a great product. it's made from black "cloth" (not as nice as vinyl, but the lower price justifies makes up for the small difference). however, I can't for the life of me figure out why Honda decided to put the cargo cover holders where they did? it's about four inches back from the rear seat so there is a giant space that allows people to see in, even with the cargo cover unrolled and hooked up.

The reason is very simple, ur back seats recline about 2 inches CLOSING that gap if u have the cargo cover in place. If honda moved back the cargo cover location, you'd have to REMOVE the cargo cover when u wanna go into refresh mode (or recline the back seats). What i do is leave the back seats reclined all the time because 1) it's more comfortable and 2) i don't go into cargo mode that often (and i carry passengers more often) so i just leave it as is.

I have no idea what the heck Hasbro said above...anyways, your new additions are looking great Cat! I should have chimed in earlier, but I thought you should have went with the Mugen License Plate Screws since you already got the sills and visors My only reservation about valve caps is that they get stolen. Just a word of warning for ya. Definitely a good idea to wait until the spring before getting the rear bumper protector.

As covered in a previous post, you need to bend the rear sill plates ahead of time to match the curve of the door sills.

Hey Illusive - yup! I did not think to look over at Kings Motor Sports for the Mugen ones until after I had already placed the order - so I am thinking to go ahead and order the Mugen and just switch them around when I want something different - I just got the new parts today and they look very nice - luckily my car is garaged during work and at night so maybe they will leave my tire valves alone. LOL! I purchased the chrome guage cluster piece but I am not sure that I am feeling it 100% or not - so I may hold off on putting that on until I decide if it is cool enough to add on. Just reminds me of something my old Pinto had on it and that just screams cheap!

I have made several purchases from ZetaProducts and have never been disappointed. Angelo and Ed are way up there when it comes to customer service and their products are top notch.

I put on my tire valves and the license plates screws this morning before rolling off to work and they look great! Very pleased with how they "Fit" perfectly and went right on without any hassle. My guy friend at work said he walked past the car and the tire valves really caught his eye. I drove to work and had a guy drive up beside me in a Honda Civic that was was really looking them over. It really looks sharp and stands out! Thanks Zeta Products for helping me rock out the Fit! I will be ordering that bumper sill in the spring to add yet another item that will make the car stand out.

Hey Angelo ... how's it hangin'? Jus' wanted to let you know that I ran into another Fit owner here in Alexandria (VA) Saturday evening and I gave her your web address. She's interested in the folding arm rest 'n maybe more.
