Tonneau Cover

                        

Picked up and installed my OEM Tonneau Cover (Cargo Cover, Part # 02Z07-SLN-110) from SanTan Honda via eBay for $127. shipped.

A must-have for the Fit.



OEM Wipers

                        

On 2-May-11, I realized that the front wiper blades were not OEM!  WTF, how did I miss that?

Picked up and installed OEM wiper blades in Blaine today. Left and right sides.  Items 19 & 21.

I bought them online from College Hills Honda, along with spare blade refills for all three wipers and an extra Cabin Air Filter.  So much cheaper than buying from the local dealer.


Example:

Interior Cabin Air Filter Part # 80291-SAA-J01

$39.99 @ Richmond Honda  (plus tax)

$23.39 @ www.collegehillshonda.com



Mugen Door Visors

                        

The first thing I got for my Fit were door visors.  Mugen door visors.  I liked their look over the JDM  OEM version and they were a little less costly. But these Mugen visors were still pricey.

I installed them on 7-May-11.  Took my time of course and the install was perfect. At first, I wasn’t sure I liked them as I had gotten used to the stock look.

I’m quite happy with them now.


23-Jun-11 Update:

Love the visors! Very handy in venting the car without it looking like I’ve left any windows open. And they look good...

These Mugen visors cost me $196. CDN not including tax.  Although I’m sure the Mugen brand and logo on them has an impact on the high price, I have to stress that the fit and finish of these visors are excellent.  Fitting is accurate to the millimeter, all edges of the visors are clean and finished (bevelled where appropriate).  Absolutely first rate and I would not hesitate to buy them again.

I installed some OEM Nissan door visors on a 2009 Versa hatch recently. They cost $95. (set) and the fit and finish was only poor to fair. The front windows were ok but the rear windows were poor.  Edges of the actual visors were simple cuts and were not bevelled or finished in any way.  At best they’re ok and they’ll do the job but I found them subpar quality to even Nissan finishing.
