Thanks mate! Honda Fit/Jazz GD JDM parts can get easily in Malaysia. The price is also quite reasonable. The front bonnet is purposely painted in black color because I travel a lot. Every week almost 420KM. To reach my office I need to go through one village, about 30KM from highway. Road condition is so bad and my front bonnet always has stone chips. FYI, I am going to paint the bonnet for the 3rd time. The cost is about MYR180.00. If I paint Milano Red on it, the cost is about MYR300.00. A lot of people advised me to use CF bonnet but looking at my situation and my office area, I think it does not suitable at all.

I do not mod my GE a lot because GE JDM parts still expensive here. But, I am searching Honda Access Armrest for my GE at this moment. It is so hard to get it in Malaysia. Still looking a supplier that able to ship the item to Malaysia.

Your bodykit is a nice one though. Fit/Jazz owners in Malaysia currently addicted to Mugen S Plus and Mugen Professional. Type S bodykit is common in Malaysia. If you come to Malaysia, your 10 fingers are enough to count Fit/Jazz with Mugen S Plus & Mugen Professional bodykit . They are rare items here!

If you want, you can have a 3rd party armrest here : Zeta Products, Inc. Quality Accessories For Today's Hottest Vehicles.

I bought mine for about a $100. It's not the best, but it does the job.

Here in Japan, parts can be cheap (if you know where to look). The problem is, the labor (or service charge) that you will be paying for work. I mean HUGE cost. (I remember paying 40,000 yen or 1237myr for paint job on my previous car's body kit). O well I hope I do all the mods myself hehe.

Gosh! That one quite expensive. But if you get the quality one, it shouldn't be a problem. I learn a lot of DIY mod from FitFreak and some of my friends as well.

^ you can cut it out to fit the gd3. I think it's a bit expensive though and its from Thailand.

Maybe you can hit up Unofficial Honda FIT Forums - View Profile: vtecfit1 from Utah. I know he's done some decals for the Fit members before.

Thanks I will check it out and see. I like the Fit one but the GD 3 no one understands what it means but Fit Freaks! LOL!

Nothing fancy today. Replaced the rear break / night lights. One was out so replaced both.
Man reaching in there is a pita, that space isn't for 'merican hands....

Removed the CDV from the 07. 08 is back to stock, a little cleanup in the interior and it'll be for sale.

Bad blurry pic but got new wheels to roll on. SSR Type C wrapped in RE-11's. The tires rub on bumps though so I'll probably just pull them off later on.

Brake pedal travel

I took my new found bargain into my mechanic today. He said that my new 2007 Sport was an excellent find. I had all the fluids replaced in the car (95,000 miles). I did notice when driving the car for 2 hours from the previous owner's house that the brakes are very mushy up top and that there is a lot of travel before the brakes engage. I was hoping that the brake fluid flush today would help, but when I drove the car from my mechanic to the Honda dealer to have three recalls taken care of, I did not notice any improvement. Is a long travel at the top of the pedal normal for the GD3? The brakes up front are apparently "new" and the rear shoes are at 75% according to my mechanic. Can anything be done if you all say this is NOT normal, such as adjusting the rear shoes? The emergency brake lever does travel a long way as well before firmly applying the rear shoes. I'd appreciate your comments and help. Thanks in advance.
