The second one looks more like the J's grill and i prefer the looks of it. But the second pic was kinda sketch...looks like a hooker with blowed up lips cuz of the CF over silver

Installed my Top Fuel Carbon intake yesterday. Looks and sounds great. Not much difference in sound or punch than my previous SSR intake, Buuuutttttt its Top Fuel. So uber rare JDM freshness YO. I have been waiting for one of these or the T1R to pop up on for sale. Both have been discontinued which I like alot.

Mugen JDM Jazz FIT Honda GD1 GD3 Genuine Front grille | eBay

Only one i could find in a hurry. But if your gonna drop that kind of coin, i would suggest the J's grill, its just as pretty and its actually functional, in diverting air where it needs to go that is.

J's Racing Type-S Front Grill - Honda Fit 07+ GD3/4: Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST

maybe not for your k but the lil slit is SUPPOSED to help split the air and divert better that the gaping OE grill. That at least what they claim...buuuutttt thats always up for interpretation i guess.

Split the air to what though? unless there is a J's intake im not a wear of any aftermarket intake is going to sit lower and off to the side. It cant be for the OEM intake because that has a scoop down by the driver side fog light. So with out any sort of custom ducting what is it helping cool? Any ways I agree J's grille does look the best

I like the idea of a smaller air opening in the grille, either upper or lower. I have had to replace the clips the hold the plastic wheel well panels and other plastic behind the bumper and engine with bolts washers and nuts because of the amount of pressure that builds up under the hood at high speed.... Hood louvers have helped a lot by allowing heat and pressure to exit and flow over the windshield and roof as would raking the hood.. There are other ways to improve aerodynamics and flow of cooling air that are cheaper and more effective than buying an overpriced JDM piece of plastic that... If the price of the J's grille was priced 25% cheaper, I would buy one for looks and hope for lower under hood and intake air temperatures, but you can insulate what needs to be cool and vent air from under the hood for much less money.

I think the real mugen grill only fits the jdm front. You would have to buy the replica off of Honda fit tuning. If you do get the real js grill you have to make sure you get the one for the usdm. I think that js is also the best looking one. That's why I got it too.
