Opinion re: Headlight mod & emblems...
- I'd like to find someone that has a SS fit (possibly one w/ a red surrounded "h".)
- I'd like to trade my red headlights (which would contrast match the red "h".)
- Install the Ss headlights (which would imo look good w/ my checkered front end).
- Considering installing Jazz emblems to go w/ my fit emblems.
Opinions about this??

I think it would be pretty neat to have SS headlights. I wouldnt want to see MR headlights on a SS fit though. That would be bad. haha.

I'm pretty sure that the ss lights would be sweet on my car!! 
As far as red lights on SS.....You might be right... I was thinking a SS w/ some sort of red stripe on the side or hood >>> esp. if it had a stripe that incorporated the red in the lights w/ the stripe.... it might look good...
What about my "fit jazz" idea?? (prob. been done before... but I haven't seen it).
BTW thanks 4 your input.

Fit Jazz idea? Are you saying your going to have both Fit and Jazz emblems or remove the Fit emblems and install just jazz ones? Sorry i didnt understand your question. haha. If you are thinking about just Jazz emblems it has been done but is still a cool idea. If you go that route the RS emblem would be pretty sweet aswell. Gotta love "Road Sailing"

I actually orig. meant to have both. (one on the opp. side of the hatch) That might look like my car had a personality disorder... but it would make you look twice....
I also considered trading out emblems.....but haven't decided.
wdyt?

Running both Fit and Jazz emblems imho would be to busy. I think just one or the other would be the way to go and then maybe get the RS emblem for the otherside if you want 2 badges in the rear. I know i was thinking about getting the JDM Fit badge, since it has the red instead of blue dot, and the RS badge, also red, to add to the rear look. I dont know if its worth $50 for the actual badges though and im not into the cheaper knock-offs.

One of my wife's close friends lives in Australia, and they send each other "care packages" all the time. Anyway her friend was going to go into a Honda place & get me a jazz emblem. I guess the logical step after that MIGHT be to get aussy tailights.
I'm also playing w/ the idea of putting either some silver or some red vinyl
in the background of my front emblem.
( A friend of mine had his JDM badges stolen in the Newport News area, and I thought that might be less tempting to a thief & still contrast).

Thats cool you have a hookup in Aussie. haha. With the tail lights check and see the price but you could always go with Depo tails instead as an idea. Koolkevin1107 did a sweet DIY about getting them to fit perfectly and many member have stated that the quality is great. There were a couple that said they got bad ones though but the majority said they were straight. There are a few threads on the boards of people who have used vinyl instead of the Type R red H's and they have turned out very well. So far nobody has stolen mine but its always possible i guess. haha. Good luck to you with your decision. Let us know if you need anything

Muy calente!
It looks good, esp. w/ the aggressive stance that your car has.
Also..is that a quick disconnect pin hanging from a trailer hitch?
Like it!!

New Owner with a simple question
I just got my Fit 5 days ago and I love the idea of putting the Jazz emblem on it. What might be the best place to get the emblem.
Thanks,
-Joey

I just found out that the Australian "hook-up" that I was expecting... didn't work out... it seems that it cost $50.00 to get it from Honda over there! I'm prob. going to get one from ebay.

After looking on ebay... I found both RED & BLUE dot jazz emblems..
I'm prob. going for a "Jazz" w/ a red dot... but don't know if it would show up on a MR car...

I was thinking the same thing. Would a Red dot look right on a MR Fit.

the difference in the color of the dot shows the different motor. idk the specifics, but it's something like blue dot = 1.3L. red dot = 1.5L
