MODS/ACCESSORIES for the GK
#481
Yeah, I read the post. Got the uppers in July and could have already gotten the pair if not for the cost. That alone was $350 and the lowers are almost double so I decided to stick with the original lower cluster since the US GK brake lights are LEDS.
15BlkPrl will be getting his at dealer cost.
Mine was at retail pricing from a Japanese Honda dealer in Tokyo.
Those guys do not "discount".
The continuity of the matching pair would be nice though. Just over spent on all the other stuff.![Frown](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

The source originated from JapanTragic when we traded PM's last April. Wife's relatives got them for me as with my upper tail-lights.
Here's the link to the retailer. Hope you can read Japanese.

They are sold individually. I ordered three different sets. One each for Front grill, steering wheel and Rear Hatch. Total cost was around $50 (no shipping).
Good luck and happy shopping!!!![Big Grin](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

BTW, its worth mentioning that the back sticky tape is pretty strong (guess cause its made in Japan) so make sure of your placement before letting it touch any surface. Ya gotta be carefull!!!

Appreciate the welcome and read some of your posts earlier today. Looks like your achieving your objectives with your current set-up. Man, doesn't it feel good!!!!
Am also liking what the SPOON boys are doing. Alas, I shall leave it to the younger GK FF owners to lead the way.
As for my GK, have done a bit (scroll to previous recent posts and it'll have the pics). I would say 30% is done. Will keep you and everyone else updated.
Similarly I look forward to seeing what everyone else is doing. So much to learn, unfortunately, at my age, so little time to apply everything. At least the FF forum allows me to read and enjoy the success of others.

You know Rottboy, I lurked on this thread months before the GK landed here ever since the GK was announced in Japan and I saw Japan traffic's Fit. I read this thread you started way back when it first originated and then after awhile decided to create an account here in FF. In the end, the idea of having a Honda, a hatchback, and modding a hatchback with magic seats
led me to WANT the GK and purchase it off the spot when I located a PBP at the dealership before it even went through PDI. It was literally still sitting on the truck. Almost three months in and Im sure I've already spent more than a grand on mods, and I'm sure some of us here spent even more. This is an expensive thread
but it sure is fun and brings back lots of those teenager years. Gf sure isn't pleased "men and their toys" she always says to me. Love this thread.

had these laying around forever finally found a use for them. Weapon R checker floor mats.
I actually ended up using the front (longer one) for the rear and putting the shorts ones in the front.

Rear upper led lights installed
To all my FF friends and fellow FFs. have been busy the whole day doing this one install. The bad news, NONE!!! Didn't break a single thing. The good news, its installed and lighted.
After removing the rear hatch trim, the connectors for the rear license plate are readily accessible. (gray colored). The far one (disconnected) is where I tapped the power. (Thanks to NORIPWR's helpful suggestion).

Next, drilled one hole on each side. Deburred them and applied WOP touch-up paint. Note the hole locations - its fits the grommet and length of the factory harness perfectly. Size of hole is 7/16".

Continuing to follow this thread with high interest - thanks for the detailed install photos, ROTT - looks great! Now we (USDM) just need a way to source these from JDM or AUDM (or ???). I already contacted a Honda dealer in Sydney, and they were unwilling to ship overseas. Waiting to hear back from an AU parts house - they asked for pics and part numbers. Will see what they come back with. If I do this, it will be all four lights (presuming the cost isn't too completely outrageous).

Just $1000?? I blew by that number in the first week... And that's with parts discounts on alot of stuff... You ain't kidding when you said it isn't cheap to read this thread. Every time I look at it someone has posted something else I want. Now to just wait on that slow boat from Japan....![Smile](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
![Smile](https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
To tell you the truth, I'm sure it's near or past the $2k mark, but ever since passing $1k I stopped thinking about it in the head. I mean, I know I'm going to put in another $1k to the car when I get new rims and tires ... just a matter of if I want Rotas, Volks, or lightweight rims + LRR tires for increasing mpg.
One of the mods I was thinking up was stripping the leather from my seats, perforating them, and then adding aftermarket cooling seat options. Or I can just get perforated Clazzios. That would've been about a $1k mod right there. But the little cheap $6 option from Home Depot I posted up seems to work really well anyway.
I think if possible & feasible, my next few mods would be the LED upper tails and JDM bumpers PAINTED

As far as ordering from Japan, it was a tough route for me. Forget about calling any Honda dealer as they won't entertain you unless you go there to p/u. They won't ship out.

My wife's relatives had to physically drive there in their Honda for the p/u. They give you a time for p/u and expect the buyer to be prompt. Guess its a result of their "just in time" inventory practises.
Here's a tip. PM Japan Tragic (organize a group buy). He will be willing to do this with his standard mark-up for his services. He's a great guy!!!

Will start sound deadening the doors, then the trunk floor, rear wheel wells, rear passenger floor, front floor, tranny tunnel and finally floor boards under the dash. This will surely take me a week.
Once done, will start with the wiring, speaker/tweeter, sub-woofer, Audison and Kenwood amp. placement.
You'll be the first to know what I think it sounds like when I'm all done.

Here's what was done today:
- Finished up the wiring for the LED rear tail. Decided to split the power tap and used both license plate wires. Used wire tubing to protect and prevent rattling. All wire connection are soldered and covered with either shrink wrap or rubber electrical tape. The pic shows 2 black connectors used to simplify any future removal just in case either one of the LED's ever needs replacement.

- Since the hatch trim was off, installed CLD tiles in the inner and outer portions. Then added CCF to the hatch trim. (purchased from RAAMaudio - Jason is super helpful with lotsa tips)

First mods/accessories: Ziebart ceramic tint 70/20, paint protection film on the hood, grill, front bumper, headlights, and front fender tips, Diamond Gloss paint sealant, fabric/carpet protection, and rustproofing, undercoat/sound deadener. We hope to keep this car for 15 years or so, driving in salt water every winter. Wish we'd have done this on our truck.
