Looks like a solid copy.

I bet the fitment is atrocious, however.

Zest JDM has the same thing for about $150 less GE8 (09~11)

it defn won't fit the 09-11. Fitment for the 2012 is questionable. The rear should be alright. At most you just have to remove the rebar.

okay, do you guys just not notice that this is on a jdm front end?
and how is "2012 fitment questionable?" the ONLY thing that changed was the bumper, so it would be no different saying that it "might" fit where the 09-11s won't work. unless they adapted it to fit the US fits, which i highly doubt, it won't work.

either way, someone buy it and prove me wrong. wouldn't mind having that front bumper.

spend $1K on shady hit or miss copy... spend another +/-$2K to make it fit???

I'd rather spend another $1K and get legit kits... but then, that's just me.

For what it is worth e-mail from Zest JDM of California
Hi Chris,

the 2012 Fit has slightly different bumper design but since this is a bumper replacement, you don't to worry about not getting it fit on your car

any body shop can install the kit for you when you take these to get paint

let me know if you have any other questions

thanks

Best regards,

Will it fit 2012 since the bumper and grille was changed or a complete replacement. Difficult to install?
Thanks

Thanks, did not see what I was looking for, more like a lower rear valance similar to the R package on the Miatas. I will keep looking thanks again for your time.

Not really, but I have not seen any attachments to extend the rear bumper downward kind like the Mugen just I do not like the fake dual exhaust.
