Congrats!!!! You will love it, they are wonderful little cars. I think your lip kit is just the stock JDM one from that year, no?? Did the owner tell you he did anything to his car? I sure like the Jazz styling...we in the US never got that style.

Fit finally arrived!

Been waiting for nearly a month (since 4/29) for my TWB fit to arrive. Dealer had to arrange a trade with another dealer and both Fits had to come from Japan.

Drives so nice--my first new car in decades!!!
Can't wait to put on my blue dot Fit and Jazz emblems. The dealer stuck their sticker in the right rear just where I was planning to put my jazz emblem.... Does anyone have suggestions as to where else I might put the Jazz emblem?? I want to have both a blue dot Fit & Jazz emblems on the car.

The 1st ( and only) owner bought this car new like this and it's always serviced by a Honda dealer! Service history etc. is all in the books!

Just take the dealer sticker OFF!! Congratulations, there's nothing like a new car and one you love.

I like your restaurant reviews. One of my favorite foods in the whole world isphở. I could eat it every day. I have never had a bad bowl, although I have had some excellent ones, and some so-so ones, it's always good.

Maybe I'll go on a phở diet.

Thanks!-- I am so glad I waited for the tidewater blue--it is an awesome color when you see it it in real life--the photos in the Honda promo literature make it look washed out.

Fortunately the dealer sticker was so easy to remove--I just stuck it lower down closer to the bumper and put my jazz sticker on opposite the FIT emblem. Next project is to remove the current FIT emblem and replace it with the blue dot one.

that sounds awful

why have both fit and jazz badging?

also why remove the dealer sticker and then move it?

:facepalm:

Because its my car and I can do whatever I want. Car now will have both it's identities--might confuse a police officer giving me a ticket....
To each his own--I don't like some mods others have done, but if they like it who cares?

I wouldn't put the dealer sticker back on but whatever floats your boat...it's free advertising for them so if you want to do that, it's your decision.

Yeah, I thought TWBP was just a girlie color when I first saw it but over time, it's grown on me. It's probably the most unusual color for a car in the US - there's nothing else like it on the road, so it really stands out, and the pearl effect makes it a light purply-blue in most lights. I used to think white cars were boring, too, but a pearl white car is really pretty close up...

I am really glad we can't get that nasty pink color they have in Japan...and the green that Europe gets is hideous, IMO too. But the shock yellow would be awesome.

I still love my BBP but it's a bitch to keep clean....scratches and dings show up white...and I can now appreciate a Fit of any color, I love them all (well, the GE8 still looks like a hamster in a wheel but...no offense or anything, hamsters are cute).

Yeah I thought about removing the dealer sticker completely, but it is actually kind of a nice one with silver letters & has the name of my city below in silver that kind of go with the Fit & Jazz. I may keep it on the first year only, so if I have any issues with the car, they will know I bought it from them.

I love the blackberry pearl, but I know how hard it is to keep dark cars clean. I saw one a few weeks ago and love how you see different colors depending on how the light strikes it--I think TWB is similar depending on the light it can be blue, silver, periwinkle.

My last car was white and I wanted a change--I think the Taffeta White looks so sharp! I'd like to see the bright yellow or a lime green fit over here in the US. My first chice color was the Blue Pearl, but dealer could not locate one anywhere in the Sport model, so decided to get the TWB. I like that it is one of the more rare colors around here. Orange Rev, Blue Pearl & Silver are most common in my area.

I've never seen an actual lime green, only the pastel green they have in Europe. It's weak. The bright yellow is really a good color for Fits, but Honda saves that for the S2000 in the US anyway. (just checked and it looks like the 2010 Jazz only comes in 5 boring colors now, not even the yellow or the green. Wow.)

The dealer keeps your VIN number in their data base, you don't have to keep the sticker on for them to know you bought the car there. But you can do what you want, even if some people on here try to tell you what to do. :P
