Installed a leather shift knob from an EX-L. Got it from https://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/ which had the best prices with shipping. I found some online places had better prices, but then get you at shipping.

Matches pretty well with my Wheelskins steering wheel cover

So has anyone installed a Civic SI seat (with airbags) to replace the crappy driver seat in the 2015 Fit yet? I saw a thread on 2nd gen where this was done, but couldn't find something similar for the 3rd gen.

Anyone know what years Civic SI would be most compatible with the 3rd gen seat for a mostly plug-n-play swap?

Thanks.

Got the front red H emblem installed. All "H'd" out now. Next up is shift boot, caliper paint, and red ambient lights.

Installed the DRL array and garnish on the car this weekend! The wiring is insanely easy! I discovered that the controller is voltage based, meaning the lights shut off once the battery voltage falls below a certain threshold, and turns on when the engine is running. Connected right to the battery with no problems! I even added the SI emblem for flavor while I had the bumper off! WHOO! The blinker inputs I simply spliced off the load resistors I already had for the other switchbacks, now both blink at the same time!

I'm using my Google+ account for pictures. Let me know if these do not show up. Even provided a video too, though I cannot seem to figure out why it is not auto embedding the video into the post, only showing the link

Cheers!

It's raining, but who cares!

So in the past 3 weeks.
Painted front grille.
Painted rear garnish.
JDM rear wiper mod.
LED Interior lights.
LED switchback turn signals.
LED side markers.
blue LED footwell lights.
Replica mugen window visors
Red ivtec stickers.

I have some HID lights and fogs being shipped. Hopefully some Springs and sway bar soon. The car feels "floaty".

No offense BlackGK5, but the following lively graphic is a personal favorite; on top of that, would love to see a pix album of your numerous mods!

Ask and you shall receive. I was driving home from the store so I used my phone, if the quality is bad. Also forgot to mention, I put a 12 inch sub for the Wub wubs.

Looks great BlackGK5! I don't think I'll take on another Georgia summer without the Mugen window shades. I like your modified front and rear color coordination and highlights. Enjoy your new ride.

Although it's called a "cold air intake," I don't see how it can get cold air. It's under the hood with all that heat. Is this any noisier that the stock system?

Like the red stripe in the front, was thinking of doing that too with mine. Did you use plastidip?

I did use plastidip for the front and back. I figure if I ever wanted to change it up I'll peel it off. I love plastidip for its versatility. I took off my grille to paint it on my balcony cause it was raining that day. However it required me too take off the front bumper. I don't think you need to go that route, but I was able to take off the silver piece and paint it by its self so it came out really good.

Oh so the front silver piece comes off, and you were able to paint it separately? That's what I'd like to do. I don't mind the glossier black, but the chrome has to go.

HKS Silent Hi-Power Axle-Back Exhaust Installed.

Sounds nice and deep, not tinny. Not overly loud but makes it more enjoyable to push! $304 shipped (from Kamispeed) and 20 minutes to install. Easy choice. Pictures available in other threads.

It does come off, and I agree there is a lot of chrome.
