Haven't seen a few of these things before. Crazy ideas from JDM land.

Garage Vary cowl cover:


OEM LED Fogs (for facelifted RS model--same size as USDM??)


Wiper caps for removed rear wiper stub :

LINK:R2.5mm?????????????? | ??? ?????????

 

I like those fogs. Any more info on 'em? As well as the cowl cover?

 

Nice finds! I think AJ racing sells a garnish like the one posted w/ a full wiper delete.

 

Garage Vary is just 43km from my place. Hmmm, might need to stroll up to Saitama and take a gander at that front cowl.

 

I bet they have an FRP version too, as they make most parts in both. I'm thinking it might cut down on wind noise gathered by the wiper assemblies, and potentially deflect rocks from the lower part of the glass, like the one that put a 1 1/2 foot long crack in my windshield last week.

If you get really bored and have the time, a measurement of the stock facelifted RS fog lights would be appreciated. They look the same as the USDM ones, but they are mounted closer together. I figure, why wouldn't Honda utilize the parts bin on this one, especially for a car that is is made in Japan for both markets?

These:


EDIT: speaking of the new RS model. The 2012 USDM model has a completely horizontal hood line at the grille, like the RS. I think the grid/holes are the same design too, so that RS emblem should be able to bolt right up to the OEM location now. Prior, people were mounting them at an angle on the old grille. I always forget that they straightened that hood line. Not sure I like it more, but it conveys a more mature look, I guess.
edit2: typo

 

The new RS has completely different fender and bumper lines. The hoods between the 2 are the same. The lights definitely will not fit on the USDM model, unless you start fabricating your fender and bumper.

 

Woops, just read what I typed about the "headlights." I meant to say the fogs, but yeah, the front ends and their parts may look similar, but are not the same.

 

or just buy all the conversion parts =)

Oh wow, that's one way to do it! Props to you for going through with it.

Well, I guess you can answer my question then. Do the u.s. fog lights fit in the JDM housings?

 

dont know just yet, im waiting for the Japan housings, then we'll test my GF's foglights.

 

Some more oddities and little interesting finds. Apparently this DAD/ Garson crap is serving the VIP style crowd. Fun to see what they are coming up with anyways.

Also, it seems that front seat belt bolt covers are a popular small upgrade. This might be a universally utilized part, and I wouldn't be surprised if we could source it here from a dealership. For the super anal, and show cars:

 

The VIP tables are also available for LHD from Orataro... ---> https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gaug...vip-table.html


Nice find on the seatbelt bolt covers, just did a quick search it seems part # 81420-S5A-004ZC readily available.

 

Awesome. I was just looking back there, and now all I can see are those ugly ass bolts. What car is it from? It may be on a lot of new Hondas, if not all of them. I don't think seat belt bolt design changes that much from car to car.

A new cheap mod!

 

Just checked a few online Honda parts stores, and none mentioned which model it's from. But I'd have to agree; if I were to venture a guess (& knowing how Honda's are quite interchangeable), it's probably on a lot of different model Hondas.

Nice finishing touch mod for ~ $4-$5 each.

 

that cowl looks awesome, need more info! please!

 

GARAGE VARY

 

Cool! I didn't know these even existed until I saw them on people's Fits, and now it looks like there is an option for people on that route. Seems like it might be dangerous for the airbag, but hey, these tables are for kicking back, pouring some bourbon, and lighting up a cig. I want one. lol

 

interesting thread. some cool stuff none the less in here.

Carmate cup holder liners. Since plastic bottles are square in Japan, I'm sure there are a bunch of these from various manufacturers. Just more little things, and ideas.
