More than likely. It's not that obvious from pictures, and we can also confirm from Dave (JDM_DOHC_SiR), but I think that the bumpers are slightly different. Slightly enough that lips made for the JDM bumper will not sit flush with ours.
But that's just how it goes with designing a car in different countries right? I just wish Honda would design something for Japan, and then design something for the US, and then sell the Japanese design to the US, and the US design to Japan lawlz.
We always end up liking other countries' design a bit more.
JDM TIGHT YO!

You have to remember that this community represents a very small percentage of the actual fit community. Even if there are 30-50 odd owners (probably a lot of people to you) who would want those parts from these forums, I hardly doubt that most Fit owners are out there to mod their cars like that, which is why the "demand" might not be a big motivation for them to develop them for the USDM model =/

You have to realize though that I used to drive a grand am. What percentage of the people who owned those cars did anything to them besides fix all the things that broke? Maybe half of a percent... And there was a ton of aftermarket support for that pile of crap. I know because I spent way too much making it faster. I guess I am just impatient when it comes to parts. The USDM market is just so slow. Ideally I would like to get a new car and put as many thing on it before the realization that I am broke sets in.
On that note I need to go figure out why the check engine light is on in the Pontiac so I can get it sold.

You are not getting my point, the car in Japan will have a huge following and there will be tons of parts available for it. We will reap the rewards of this in areas where the USDM model is the same as the JDM counterpart (suspension, interior, engine). Where we will struggle is in exterior mods since the cars panels are so totally different. Most every lip, bumper cover, hood, etc. will not fit the USDM cars. And there will be very little motivation for the Japanse companies to create these parts when they may sell 25-50 units. That would not even come close to covering R&D costs.
