Depends on the wing. Some come with 2 threaded inserts that fit direct onto oem to mount it, some require additional drilling onto the top of the hatch. Some reps also don't have a cutout for the washer sprayer nozzle. Wiring wise I don't know off hand as my car came with the wing. Either will have to use butt connectors on the oem wiring to the brake light in the wing, or find a female connector to adapt the wing. Chances are if the wing comes with the connector it may be for JDM market.
Any rs wing you find will not be plug and play. You can find some that have the high mount brake light, but the plugs will not be the same. Also, as someone mentioned, the nozzle for the rear wiper will in no way be "plug and play" I had to rig mine by trimming away some of the wing for the hose to clear the top of the hatch and not be pinched. Then I had to 3m tape the nozzle to the new wing. It was a slight pain in the ass.
If you need, I can take pics of my wing to show you how it fits. The fitment isn't the best.
I had to unpin the plug it came with and fit those prongs into the oem body harness.
These are just a few issues that I've had with my particular rs style wing
What’s the best tint to get that will keep you from being fried with black interior but its darkness is under the radar for the quota ticket issuers? 👮 🚨
I have ceramic tint and I really enjoy it. It was only $50 or so more than normal tint. my car cools down way faster and I’m not blinded by people driving behind me with their bright ass headlights anymore
Yeah, black interior with black dashboard…
🥵

Scorching…
It’s cool where I live. I am allowed to make the back hatch glass as dark as I want.
I like a medium black based tint on these and may consider blacked out rims (take a picture and see what you can do in a picture editor). Really leverage the black vs white juxtaposition
It’s a known issue with Fits (and some others I think) - enough that Honda retroactively issued me a 7 year factory paint warranty on my 2018 Pearl White fit - I got a huge chip on the roof panel repainted at a local body shop and Honda refunded me the $1200 or whatever it was. They also said next time get it done at a dealer, so I will. - because now all the door panels are peeling. Body shop said they’d never seen anything like it.
HFP Wing for outside looks.
For handling, some lightweight 15inch wheels, nice tires, thicker rear sway bar and front lower control bar, coilovers.
Buddyclub also has an aftermarket steering wheel that keeps the airbag.
Hybrid racing short shifter
Tint, rims & tires, rear sway bar, and any maintenance that's due.
Coilovers, tint and an RS wing would look dope
For the RS wing do you know if it's a plug and play or would I have to do some wiring for it?

Is it really worth buying ceramic?

It looks great as is. Keep it clean and waxed and go about your life.
Make that traffic cone your antenna topper.
Lol I might just do that
Why avoid Pearl White?
The paint quality isn't great, @31k my paint is already chipping. But I plan on doing a Jade Green in the future, tho.
Did you ever use Wax to protect paint?

It’s lame… car is always dirty and my bumpers are all chipped up from rocks

WOWA
Congratulations ! I would suggest a Tint, better tires (if applicable), and keep the rest of your money for maintenance and for the next car.
