Lol I laughed myself, I make dumb mistakes due to me being impatient, and it always has paid off to take my time... Life lessons.

The one downside to Tenso/Buyee is that it all depends on the seller, just like eBay or Amazon. Hopefully you get them soon! Waiting is annoying.

Retrofit complete today, just finishing up the mugen led wiring and DD halo wiring.

Its really tough with the short front to find space for ballasts and relays!

I guess that's one (the only) benefit of the USDM front end... Can't wait to see!

~$165 total, the listing for the tails was $80, with Buyee fees it was $90, and then I added protective packaging for $15, and shipping was $60 or so. $165 for OEM LED JDM tails is a steal... If you're interested I'd definitely recommend Buyee, but don't expect to order them and receive them shortly after, it's a fairly long process.

Dude that drop and those wheels is perfect. Nice job and Nice Fit! That lip looks real nice with the color you have. Too much of a contrast on my red for me to get one. Plus I scrape as it is.

Hows the ride for ya?

Sounds good. I was more concerned about how much shipping was in the end. Look forward to seeing yours installed. Can you tell us which seller you bought from? That way I know a reliable source

hey guys, do we have full aluminum radiators and silicone radiator hoses options?
Also, dose the Spoon front lip PWJDM sell fit the USDM front bumper?
More questions may follow later.

Welcome to the forum!

Link to this lip? I checked their website and did not see anything for the GE model, only the GD.

Also typically anything JDM for the Jazz front end...will only work on the JDM front end, not the USDM. If I recall, the Honda Access Shuttle front end is the same as the USDM. Only seen (1) JDM lip on a USDM and a couple with the modulo lips. Thats really it.

Pretty sure there are radiator hose options, not sure why you'd want/need a full aluminum radiator...seen several supercharged Fits and the regular radiator does the trick.

My current dilemma is whether to start investing in detailing products, or continue to just have someone else do it. Time vs Money problem ><

hi all,

new to the forum as my friend introduced me.

crucial question as im looking to get my first fit.

is the 1.5A Fit RS worth it?
in terms of power, fuel consumption and just overall the difference in engine.

i have read many threads about the mods people would do on their fits but in general is everybody talking about the 1.3 and 1.5 variants.

im looking to change to a suzuki swift springs and hook on volks te37 once i purchase my fit.

thank you in advance and i hope i can decide on the 1.3 or 1.5 soon.

Shaun
