For what its worth, if there was a way to spread all the pedals out so my size 13 shoe doesnt hit the gas and brake at the same time let me know. Thats a more worthy upgrade i think.
I took off my $60 wheels I bought from the classified section on here and replaced with my recent Craigslist wheel purchase. Four 16X7" Maxxim wheels with used free take off 215/45/16 BF Goodrich Rival S tires. Total investment was $140
Hahah! Last time I mentioned the price of this headlight people went mental ))) they where about $1300 including shipping and customs. They are bolt on so no retrofitting or anything.
They are brighter then the stock headlight and the light is more evenly distributed.
I cannot make a comparison with any other cars with LEDs especially the European brands.
I hope this answers your questions.
Also I should mention that I have seen a lot of fake ones on eBay that are not CoPlus brand. And I would suggest NOT to buy fake ones. If anybody is looking to spend this amount of money make sure you get the real thing. Just my 2 cent.
Don't mean to resurrect an older post, but yea, I read through one of your posts, and it cracked me up to see some people lose their minds. That's not much more than stock headlights from Honda (at least for Canadians). Anyway, just wondering how you're liking the Coplus lights? Saw them on a few cars in Japan and really liked them. I swapped the lights on my 86 and it's hard to go back from nice LEDs.
About two months ago a rat chewed the wires off alternator, ac and some other stuff. Dealer charged 455 to fix. Go out tonight to find the exact, and I mean the exact same s***. I throw everything i cand find in my garage and on the porch all over the yard. Bouncing a charcoal starter up into the driver mirror scratching that, then if all this isnt bad enough jump in it back it out to prevent worse rat chewing, right into the front of my forgotten subaru forester.... I tell you.... I just am livid. So guess im gonna be out another ton of money and im starting on an impenetrable garage tomorrow.

Rodents are evil. After I found a mouse stored seeds in the console of my Forester, I was on a mission. Plugging gaps around my garage door with sheet aluminum and foil, covering the vents in the rear bumper with stainless mesh. (Did this to the Fit as soon as I got it) and put different kinds of traps all over the garage. Snap traps, bucket traps, glue traps, box traps. All mice must die.

I found chewed up food in the cabin filter and nests in the engine compartment. I caught one in a trap. Don't ever leave any kind of food in the car. They can get into anything.
Agreed. Never. One of the issues here is the wiring is sheathed in food. (Soy plastic) So I put more attractive options all over the garage. Hopefully luring the little bastards to their deaths.
For me this is really "what did you do this week". but my daily got its first real mod. This car does 600-1000 miles a week without a hiccup. My 2015 LX 6MT

Bad enough with shoes. Try size 13 winter boots. Lol
The pedal placement is unfortunate but far worse is the gear ratios. Smooth downshifting is downright difficult to impossible. 6-5-4-3 is not too bad but to 3-2 is awful to do cleanly. Frankly, why even bother with that 5th gear. The delta between 4 and 6 doesn’t need that 5th.
The Fit’s manual tranny combined with the final drive and engine torque and power curves are just too wonky.

I want to go back to a Mini Cooper S
The 5th gear is actually good for going up inclines to maintain speed. Its also useful for towing my trailer. I go through all the gears regardless. And ftom 3rd to 2nd gear, bump the gas to rev match and slowly brake to a stop. I do it all the time. Especially towing its handy to not upset the balance of the car. I agree though, 6th gear needs to be higher so its slightly less than 3k at highway.

I had a very productive day. First I installed the rear seat protectors. Then installed the sport horn kit. Then the pièce de résistance, I fixed the front bumper sag!

Did you remove the front bumper to install the horn(s)?

I didn't. My "Tinkering" thread should show pics of my "rolling" the front lower grill off for the front hi tone. And for the passenger side low tone, I accessed that from opening the lower passenger front splash shield, and wheel well cover.
Wife mentioned the 4Runner TPMS light came on, so I pulled out the compressor and topped off all the tires and spare. I did the same with the Fit and found the spare was at 21 PSI! Set it to as close to 60 PSI as I could, since my gauge only went to 50 PSI
