Where do I fit in?



Was curious to figure out where I fit in exactly? In terms of spec, availability or transparency of parts, etc
I've got a 2007 Jazz and Im SA, would I be more closely related to the JDM spec Honda Fit or the EU Jazz or USDM Fit?


Here's some pics to help you guys and gals out:

I want that front bumper! Of course I'd have to do the JDM nose conversion first, but what the hell. And as stated above, it looks like your car and the JDM Jazz are closely related, more so than to the USDM Fit. Lucky you! Looks real good BTW

Definitely JDM.

The way I see it, the JDM, Asian and European Fits/Jazzes share most obvious parts. It's the US-spec Fits that are pretty different due to the modifications done to the base car to conform to their crash regulations. Notably, the US-spec GD3 models are a little longer, with extended fenders and bumpers and a relocated front core support.

Nice ride

You rear bumper is identical to a special edition of the GD3 released here in Brazil. They called it Fit S.

I love that bumper and the leather looks good too. Why doesn't the US EVER get the cool bumpers...?
