Okay,

I had installed the RS Rear Emblem today, although the Rear Red Honda Emblem had not been installed,
but I figured, it is "Pretty" enough to take picture












and just to compare with the front

 

We are TWINS remember ?


The way I look at all that goodies is the long time and really tiring installation that I still had to do for all those goodies...


Thank You, your compliment make all the hours I spent under, on top, at side, behind and in front of the car installing thing seems worth it


The labor for the rear bumper including painting are $650.
The first quote was only $500 but at the middle of the work,
the body shop complain saying it is not as fast as he estimate,
so he ask for extra payment...
well, unfortunately I don't have welding tools and painting tools,otherwise, I would do it myself (teach me how to weld and paint), and I am sure I would do better although it will took me much longer too

 

damn son, too much for me. more aero for me really is low priority, although it would love it. =) nice butt btw.

 

Thank You,

I am the opposite of you, because Aero is a High Priority for me,
not because it will enhance the handling at high speed
but because my goal is to make my car looks as expensive as possible with as low budget as possible even though the truth is, it is still just a Cheap Honda

after this I still need to buy (in the order of priority)
1. Mugen Rear Under Spoiler
2. Mugen Side Skirt with Black Trim (JDM Infinite Version)
3. Honda Fit Shuttle Modulo Front Spoiler
4. Takero's Rear Wing Carbon Fiber Extension
5. Mugen LED Rear Fog Light for the Mugen Rear Under Spoiler

so still long time to go and long way (in term of budget) to go

 

lol @ "low budget"

you're mods are $$$! my cash is getting tied up soon and my mods are slowing down. next that i need to save up on are mugen front bumper, grill and rear bumper. maybe even wheels. and that's it. i drive like a grandma now trying to get my mpgs up, don't want to look too aggressive to the other ricers. =p

 

as far as the takeros rear wing extension, i would just get a custom fabricator. not worth paying $600-800 for a 1-2 inch carbon fiber stick on.... but hey, last week the yen was 102 yen to 1 dollar. now its up to 96 yen to a dollar.

 

No, they are cheap now,
only around $400 at Japan Parts (before shipping) (39,360 Yen) :
JDM Japanese Auto Parts specialists | japanparts.com

but I think shipping will be cheap too since it is small and not that long...

the problem is, I personally think it would funny/unbalance if I buy them now and I don't have Mugen Rear Under Spoiler

but after I have the Mugen Rear Under Spoiler (JDM version) with that large diffuser, then a small Takero's lips would balance the look again

and a touch of Red from the LED Mugen Fog Light will make it picture perfect...

 

When you get a chance, can you take some full side profile shots? I want to see the dimensions and hot the car looks from the side view.

 

I took this pictures few days ago:

 

Ok,

After I install the JDM RS Rear Bumper,
I notice that the JDM RS Rear Bumper had different cut out for the rear wheel...

so The JDM RS Rear Bumper is actually more forward (smaller gap between the rear most side of the rear tire to the bumper (part where you usually have mudflaps in normal bumper)...

again more forward that I am talking about is not about the "butt" of the JDM rear bumper, that we all already know that JDM RS Rear bumper had slimmer butt,...
but the "more forward" here is the part where we usually put mud flap... that part is also further forward than USDM rear bumper... the inner fender lining from USDM bumper do not match the JDM RS Rear bumper !!!, that is how I know that the shape is different in that part.

so this JDM RS Rear Bumper unique property, is GOOD for car that is lowered...

you see, our Fit rear axle is quite unique,
when you lower your car,
the rear axle not only move close to the top of the fender,
but also close to the "front" part of the rear fender,
in simple word the wheel base became shorter...

this make uneven gap where the gap between the front side of the rear tire is now very close to the fender,
while the rear side of the rear tire became farther from the fender (where you have mudflaps)...
this make an awkward looks causing the rear wheel looks NOT centered anymore... (off centered)

with JDM RS Rear bumper, the gap looks about or almost the same,
meaning the wheel look more centered because the JDM RS Rear bumper
is further forward !

take a look at my picture above and compare it to other Fit who is lowered but use USDM bumper and you will see what I mean

 

so much like!!!

 

Not sure if you have these https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ml#post1188465

 

Alpina's got the 2012+ JDM RS LED tails.... ^^^ most likely those listed are the Base tails that Danny ships out.

 

Thanks ThEvil0nE , I also following your VIP style thread,
and your car is looking better and better each day



Hi guys,
that guy who advertise his taillight had not put any pictures so I don't know which tail light that he is talking about,

but here is what I know:
a. The tail light (NON LED) that danny sell from Thailand are the Tail Light for Honda JAZZ RS model in some South East Asian Countries when Honda Fit (Jazz) just launch in 2009.
The picture below is from Danny's Pal thread:



b. There is other LED tail light similar to mine but with more "white" surface that were available from either Taiwan/Japan/UK before facelift in 2012



c. My LED Tail Light were the JAZZ RS (and Non RS) LED tail light in some South East Asian Countries, Taiwan and some other countries after the 2012 facelift
again I borrow this picture below from a thread in fitfreak:


or this pictures here of an Indonesian Jazz RS 2012 AFTER Facelift, but this only last 1 year and for 2013 they change the LED light to all clear one:



d. but the latest tail light for the RS in Japan and South East Asian Countries (model year 2013 for South East Asia) are the ALL CLEAR LED tail light, so the shape are the same as mine but just all clear lens.
here is the 2013 Indonesian Jazz RS and 2013 Japanese Fit RS:





but of all the above, I still like mine better,
because I prefer as much RED surface as possible compare to clear / white surface
the main reason why I change my USDM tail light is because USDM tail light had too much white/clear surface on it,
make my eyes hurt when I see it, the Red color on my current tail light suit my Taffeta White Paint better

 

^^^ I thought those were the Jazz/Fit BASE tails overseas.
The RS's only had LED's, no?


I agree with the clear on the pre-mmc LED's, which is why I tinted the top sections with Vans red paint. Similar to the ones you have but without the side red strip... Wanted to do the Noblesse styling, but it might be too flashy.. might still just do the matching body color stripes, but leave off the chrome accents.

 

in some South East Asian Countries for example Indonesia,
the Jazz RS Pre facelift (before 2012) do NOT have LED taillight.

here is a couple of pictures of 2009 and 2010 Jazz RS tail light from Indonesia:

 

So sick, in for more.

 

haah silly me. Man the side profile looks good. Really goes well with the 2012+ front bumper. Wish I have the money for it!!!

 

I got a set from Danny I really like them looks great on my MR 2012 Sport.

 

seriously bro, can u find me a link so i can get that damn black acrylic license plate cover?
