Sharp looking Jazz/Fit!

In the lower grill, are those two small round holes for running lights?

that rear trunk garnish is a nice (and expensive) touch.

I really dig that rear lip, makes me wonder if that can fit on a usdm rear bumper

Yes they are
The issue being the Mugen running lights cost more than i'm comfortable spending on driving lights
specifically the Mugen RS axle back muffler costs less than the lights to suit the front Aero lip
I want the rear fog light to match but again the pricing is insane for LED lights and that's even with connections in Japan buying locally

i'm going to hunt for aftermarket ones that suit... It may be a journey

As far as i'm aware it will fit but the lip is lower so any exhaust would have to deflect down to compensate

this one suits USDM standard rear lip https://www.rhdjapan.com/catalog/pro...gk5-type-15xl/

this one suits JDM RS and Mugen rear lips https://www.rhdjapan.com/catalog/pro...r-gk5-type-rs/
there is a bit of a dogleg in the tips to compensate

finally tuned Mugen suspension only -15mm or -5/8" in drop but our roads are "unforgiving" and "kinda shitty" so being low comes with a price

The OEM underbody decided to come undone at a single connector. I have since removed that annoying piece. I have retained the panel under the oil pan.

radio is not my thing i dislike ads and a shark fin would make me look a little bit too much like a BMW driver I'd have to stop using my indicators*, I would have to start to abruptly cutting people off*, My parking would have to get considerably worse.*

i'm good with a drop in reception




*(symptoms may vary country to country)
