Help Identifying parts?



Here is the only shot I took of my car so far. I haven't gone outside to double check anything yet.

My questions are on the steering wheel badge, wheels, and the body kit. She's an '08 Sport Manual Transmission.

1. I have a red steering wheel badge with a silver H, but the badges on the trunk and hood are matched to the color of the car with silver H's. Is the red steering wheel badge standard?

2. The Mugen wheels look like MF10 models in gunmetal, but I'm unsure until I go outside and look. Is gunmetal an option for the color, or have these been painted?

3. I've tried searching for pictures and information, but it's kind of convoluted. I don't know if the body kit is standard or aftermarket. Do body kits have markings or stamps to look for to check?

The only information I could find was in some guy's review article on his website:

"There are two trim levels, called Fit and Fit Sport. Differences? The Sport gets remote entry and a security system, fog lights and aero kit trim, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, alloy wheels with upgraded tires, and an upgraded audio system. For both, a five-speed manual transmission is standard, with a five (not the common four) speed automatic available. Sport automatics get easy manual shifting by way of paddles behind the steering wheel spokes as in larger and more expensive automatic sports sedans."


Pictures to come soon.

1. red steering wheel badge is not standard.

2. those are not mugen wheels. they look like work knock offs... most likely Rota.

3. That is the stock Sport bodykit for the Fit sport.

Pretty good eyes there, being able to spot the wheels without a close up!

Just to confirm your answer:


(The center caps were missing when I got it. Any tips on sizing replacement caps would be appreciated.)


(Upon closer inspection I can see that it's just a decal kit stuck on top. I hadn't noticed until reading up on decal kits on these forums had me curious. They were stuck on pretty straight.)

Thanks!

Oh dang, real Works?

That's a first, they're usually just knockoffs! What a sad world.

good deal on the works... those wheels are discontinued now, so it may be difficult to find the replacement center cap. Any work wheels distributor should be able to get replacements if still available tho.

I've never been a big flashy aftermarket guy, but I really do like the subtle look of these wheels. It's a shame to see the rust from lack of caps. I'm looking on eBay now to see if I can find a deal but it's not looking too good.
