Either way people will always look for some thing different... Like here in Japan...most of the GE Fit guys want the USDM front and rear bumpers... they think there version is to stubby and short..

It’s funny you say that, I’ve been waiting a long time for the new release and most of the reviews/pics I saw where US based models, so that was what I sort of was expecting, to be released here in nz ( as the dealers here don’t get much info till the last minute, so did most of my own research, in some way I do like the USD front as it does look allot solider( but sort of makes it look like the older civic hatch front, but don’t like the back bumper, but hey it’s all cosmetic, I didn’t realize you where in Japan, great place to be to get some nice aftermarket body kits at the mo and xtras. Do you have any links for funky xtras for the jdm model, cosmetic inside etc. Carbfiber etc of good quality.

They have 3 different versions of the mirrors with the LED winkers on them and one of those versions is heated

How was fitment on all your parts? Are the JDM parts mostly manufactured in China or Japan?

^^I don't think I've seen any honda/acura oem/jdm parts made in China. On the fitment I would guess it would be perfect since the GE is made and assembled 100% in Japan.

[SIZE=3]]Type One Racing :: Suspension & Brakes :: Fit/Jazz (GD3/4) :: T1R Rear Disc Brake conversion - Honda Fit 07 & up GD-3
You're showing a GD kit there and from what VERY little research I've done the GD is not a simple rotor, caliper, and bracket bolt on affair. Those two black pieces on the right half (that go on the end of the axle tube [for lack of a better term]) I think is what made the GD rear disc conversion slightly difficult.

I'd also like to know if the GE conversion is simpler than the GD.
