should I take my fit emblem off the rear and replace with jazz?

WOAHjacqueline · #1 (**permalink**) 06-30-2009, 05:43 PM

I want to get the jazz emblem instead of keeping the fit one. If I do get it, should I place it on the left or right side?

-thanks!

Is your car a GD or a GE? The GDs have the Jazz badge on the right. The GEs have it on the left.

On the GDs the color of the dot marks out what engine it carries. The red dot means it's a 1.3 i-DSI/twin-spark, the blue dot means it's a 1.5 VTEC.

Couple photos of my car's rear end for reference...and it's a GD1 Jazz 1.3

As for "should you do it?" that's entirely up to you.

If your objective is to make your car look different from the run of the mill, then do it.

Fit owners in Asia like to have USDM tail lights, and we in turn like the JDM ones.

Guess, the grass is always greener on the other side of the ocean.

It's your car, so do whatever pleases you. Changing the nameplate will certainly make your car look different and perhaps get people to come up and ask about your Jazz.

I wouldn't do it unless it came with it. But to each their own. Just debadge the Fit emblem is what I did. As well as the wiper and H. lol.

lol I'd rather get the Fit emblems since we have the Jazz. I personally prefer the Fit name, it sounds better. But it is entirely your choice. Are there any Fits in the US using the Jazz emblem?

I haven't seen a Fit with a jazz emblem here that is why I want it. Fit does sound a little better than Jazz but I would like that it is different than everyone elses haha

some people are rockin the jazz badge. me being one of them

just reuse the dot from the i on the Fit for your Jazz emblem

FYI:
The GE Fits no longer have the dot - and the same applies for the "Jazz" emblem on those. The emblem is therefore much simpler.

I like the Jazz name better than fit actually, maybe cuz that is how I first saw and drove the car in Singapore 6 years ago. I have considered doing it myself, just not a high priority at the moment.

Only possible issue is when you trade it in, they might ding you $50 to switch it back, or be confused as hell LOL

Go to autozone or whatever you have and ask them for Emblem Glue. That's what I used to stick on my front red H emblem that I'm now trying to sell

leave the Fit emblem on the left and add the Jazz on the right. Looks right cool and took no special effort.
even better, since my Fit has rear discs, it fits. Not mean just convient.
