I'm going to order the turn signal mirror covers next week. The hood deflector is easy to install and I highly recommend Zeta for such a great product. Might end up getting side moldings too.

JDM_DOHC_SiR has them so you can PM him. I got mine from Ebay though because I couldn't wait. The Ebay user that had them was in my city so it came in 1 day. $40USD

Here is where I got mine (same seller):

eBay Motors: JDM GENUINE RS Trunk Emblem Honda Fit Jazz GD1 06-09 (item 380093779883 end time Jan-30-09 10:36:44 PST)

$37 shipped and the item is located in the US.

The item shipped out the same day I ordered it and I got it 3 days later.

It almost seems like you are lying to people and is the equivalent of putting an M3 emblem on a 325, and that is just plain wrong.
I understand where you are coming from to a certain extent. Like you said putting a M3 badge on a 325 would be like slapping a STI badge on a 2.5RS. But since it is the 1.5 vtec the RS badge is justified. Like Fit_love said, half the people on here have red type-r badging but there is no Fit type-R. Its all about styling and being an enthusiast of the honda racing heritage. Atleast its not like that youtube video where that dude had a GTR badge on his mustang. HAHA!

Agreed. I would never put a Type-R emblem on my Fit, but I'll put the red emblems on. And the reason I'm considering an RS emblem is because we have the 1.5L engine here in North America, which is the same as the RS.

Nice. I dont see why ppl say the GE base bumper is ugly. It just looks more like a normal car. Not ugly though. Base Fits FTW!
