I changed my mind on the c-pillar bar because I am trying to keep all my mods low-key so except for my laptop (attached to the FIC) and the ETC I won't be putting anything else in the cabin if I can avoid it.
Received the other two parts of my order today and thank you for wrapping and bagging them! I'll be showing you some +rep love after I get them on the car!
Pics coming soon.. ish.

GE parts are going out this week.
Some posts have said they've also received their parts or at least a tracking number.
I was just wondering........

My parts are here and unwrapped. Nice work from KMR. Thanks Tiger Tuning.
Not sure which one I'm going to install tonight. hmmmmmm
BTW, I can't remember where I found it, but here's a color version of the black & white photo that came with the "installation instructions" for my ladder brace!

I'm glad you got stickers and instructions. I guess I'm not special enouph. Also would have been nice if you guys provided some bolts with the front strut.
ALSO the rear c pillar bar came pre-rusted. Thanks very much !!!
I would NOT purchase from this company again.

Chassis braces getting the "fit" check tomorrow
My car is spending the night at a garage. Assuming all goes as planned, by noon tomorrow my Fit will have a set of Rota's, new rubber and 3 chassis braces. HOW IN THE HELL AM I GOING TO SLEEP TONIGHT???
Pics of my KMR chassis braces
Here's what I snapped before I told the mechanic to get it on the ground!
I made a quick 150 mile interstate trip soon after, and the first thing I noticed is how "flat" the car feels. The Swift Sport springs already helped in that area, but I could tell after an hour or so of driving that I really didn't realize how much the Fit's frame twists while making even the simplest of turns. The braces I had installed eliminated most, if not all of that flexing. Then again, I also upgraded my wheel & tire package at the same time, so it's too soon to tell how much of either upgrade is giving the improved feedback. I want to put few weeks of commuting on the tires before I really push it.
Yes, the plastic fuel tank cover must be removed for the ladder brace install. There's still an aluminum deflector shield in front of the tank's leading edge. I checked it out - I'm not concerned since the roads I travel are smooth and pothole free.
