Some new bodywork from Spoon. Can only say that it's freaking clean compared to J's.

More than likely. It's not that obvious from pictures, and we can also confirm from Dave (JDM_DOHC_SiR), but I think that the bumpers are slightly different. Slightly enough that lips made for the JDM bumper will not sit flush with ours. :mad:

But that's just how it goes with designing a car in different countries right? I just wish Honda would design something for Japan, and then design something for the US, and then sell the Japanese design to the US, and the US design to Japan lawlz.

We always end up liking other countries' design a bit more.

JDM TIGHT YO! :p

very nice... wonder if there's any vidz of it on the track? :p

BakedCookies 02-20-2009 09:23 AM

hopefully spoon will step it up and make these parts to fit the USDM model, but I doubt there is much demand.

Yeah kind of like the lack of demand for the Kraftwerks Supercharger kit. :rolleyes:

You have to remember that this community represents a very small percentage of the actual fit community. Even if there are 30-50 odd owners (probably a lot of people to you) who would want those parts from these forums, I hardly doubt that most Fit owners are out there to mod their cars like that, which is why the "demand" might not be a big motivation for them to develop them for the USDM model =/

No_Skillz 02-20-2009 10:20 AM

Seriously. On here I see tech-savvy people who are enthusiasts.

On the roads I see middle-aged women who don't know their tie rod end from their exhaust hole.

You have to realize though that I used to drive a grand am. What percentage of the people who owned those cars did anything to them besides fix all the things that broke? Maybe half of a percent... And there was a ton of aftermarket support for that pile of crap. I know because I spent way too much making it faster. I guess I am just impatient when it comes to parts. The USDM market is just so slow. Ideally I would like to get a new car and put as many thing on it before the realization that I am broke sets in.

On that note I need to go figure out why the check engine light is on in the Pontiac so I can get it sold.

JDMxGE8 02-20-2009 11:48 AM

I wonder if Spoon is making the Street exhaust too. If not, I'll get the N1. I <3 Spoon Sports!

Anyone have info on those wheels - sizes & offsets?

You are not getting my point, the car in Japan will have a huge following and there will be tons of parts available for it. We will reap the rewards of this in areas where the USDM model is the same as the JDM counterpart (suspension, interior, engine). Where we will struggle is in exterior mods since the cars panels are so totally different. Most every lip, bumper cover, hood, etc. will not fit the USDM cars. And there will be very little motivation for the Japanse companies to create these parts when they may sell 25-50 units. That would not even come close to covering R&D costs.

JDMxGE8 02-20-2009 12:49 PM

I would love to convert to the JDM front end, but that would definitely rape my wallet.

Once you put it like that... whew. I don't care much for visual mods.

And you obviously are not getting my point. All I was saying is that I am impatient. Have a beer and take a deep breath.

JDMxGE8 02-20-2009 01:48 PM

Let's calm down fellas.

That reminds me, I need to get beer.

BakedCookies 02-20-2009 03:09 PM
