Thank you guys! Now that I know how to look for, I found this pair of skull covers:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2PCS...08.4.81.6tsVbF
However, I am not sure if a they will fit since apparently it work for honda city too, and here in Mexico honda City and Honda Fit are 2 different models.
Anyway, I will buy then together with the turn signal lights (https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...05071-VnYZvQVf) and I'll let you know if worked.
Thanks again for your help.

The turn signals will require a little trimming but is not really a big issue. Running the wires was my biggest issue and I really didn't have a the time so it was put off for another day.

Finished installing the EX-L side mirror blinkers ("winkers"). Hooked them up to my rear signals, to which I've already hooked up my rear pillar lights. Thanks to stembridge for selling me the parts, and to Bassguitarist1985 for a helpful how to.

Bad news
Sorry to say that the Skulls you mentioned above are to small. They are for the Asian market. Trust me I bought a pair even thou the seller said they would fit. My luck the seller took them back due to his error. Thou, being you are in Mexico you may have different mirrors?

Here in Mexico we have same size mirrors than US, however Honda City has smaller mirrors but they look like Honda Fit mirrors. I believe that's why I found in Ali Express those mirrors that said it will fit Honda City and Honda Fit.
Thanks for the advise and good to hear you got your money back.
On the other hand, I found a part list shared by Bassguitarist1985 https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...irrors-ex.html
I will definitely try that. Hopefully shipment to Mexico and Dollar to Peso exchange dont kill my wallet.

Curious, how did you hook them up to the rear signals? I hooked mine to the front signals. had to go through the firewall as I did not know what wire from the under panel of the drivers side it was. I got to reinstall mine actually...on my 2017 Fit, traded my 2015 in.

The rear turn signal wires are in the back side of the trunk. You should be familiar with them, as you've changed to LED bulbs. I had to use a tap splice, as space is limited.

Yeah, I'm pretty tired of undoing the common wire bundle through the firewall. Did it multiple times with the sound system. Plus everything is hidden, so no splicing/tapping of anything under the hood.

well concidering that i still need to reinstall my stereo and my heated mirrors/winkers on my 2017, i may just do exactly what you did. I mean why not at this point since all the interior trim needs to be removed to do those jobs.

I WANT THAT SPLITTER!

I just inquired if they have in stock.
#1574
Another member who has it mentioned that it makes flexing noises transitioning an incline because of the attachment points and "adjustability". Not sure if that adjustability is worth it

My initial impression of this rear swaybar is mainly for looks. The front bar definitely helps a little bit, but I am also on stock tires which has super soft sidewalls.. haha
New wheels/tires setup are on their way. my main goal is have a fun go-kart like commuter.

Once you get the new shoe set up, let me know what you think of the Megan rear sway. My eye are on the progress one's but I believe Megan's is $100+ cheaper?
btw, what wheel/tire set up did you go with??
#1577
They might have it too loose. Mine hasn't made any flexing noises and it's been on there almost two years.
#1578
After a week of allowing the springs to settle, finally got my alignment done. Put a little bit of negative camber on the front. To cancel out some of the understeer as a result of adding wider wheels/tires. Its been a while since ive been in the suspension tuning scene.. lets see how it handles on the backroads this weekend

Exactly what I had in mind to focus my build, GoKart Commuter! lol I almost pulled the trigger on Buddy Club Coilovers but didnt want to sacrifice ALL the ride comfort since my wife and 5 year old son ride in it frequently.

As for wheels, I plan on getting a set of 16x7 wheels with 205 sized tires, but just not sure what brand at the moment.. stiffer and lower profile tires will probably stiffen up the ride another 10-15%..

Slight rubbing against the passenger side axle..
The label on the factory axle (driver-side) was rubbing against the Megan front swaybar when wheels were turned in full-lock position..
