The J's emblem looks nice!

Not sure if they're authentic though, there was some fake keychains going around too, similiar packaging, might be same situation.

more info.

J'S RACING USA Support the genuine product
They even got the links to the for sale threads (here & on CR-Z forums).

Still the emblem looks nice.

Aren't you selling the car?! It might look nice in a new Jeep tho

Don't know about authenticity. I didn't have any clue it was supposed to be J's, doesn't say that on the Grafixpress site. Maybe it's fake, no idea. Package had a buncha Japanese writing on it tho! Either way, $25, looks great, can't go wrong.

For sure, no worries. I don't care either way. Not a hater on fake shit like most people. If something's quality, then it works. Sure Works or or BBS are way cooler than Rotas, but I've never seen anyone crash and flip their car because they're Rotas disintegrated on the highway. I'm gonna go Enkei tho, quality and not overpriced. Sorry I'm rambling.

You're right. I guess the only thing on that site that technically says it's J's is the key fob. They say "the key fob comes in original J's packaging." Other than that it's just them selling fakes they got from Japan I'm assuming. They may not even know they have fakes.

Here's a quirky little fact that I haven't seen on this site.
The 16" USDM Fit Sport Alloys are made by Kosei (for Honda).
The 15" Canadian LX Alloys are made by Enkei (for Honda).

Had to throw it out there, just found that out myself a few weeks ago... lol....



[sarcasm begins]
That's not a safe emblem if the airbag goes off. Your insurance claim will be dismissed, and they will drop you from their policy.... You're killing the whales.... Stop cutting down the rainforest.... etc... etc... etc... etc... blah, blah, blah... lol.
[sarcasm ends]

Had to mention that, cause it's only a matter of time before some one flames for that.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Driver beware. This thing will slice clean thru your skull and into the rear passenger's if you're in a fender bender. This emblem WILL kill you, it's just a question of when. Expect it when you least expect it!

Interesting bit of info about the wheels tho...

I've already been permanently scarred by a 2012 Fit airbag. What difference does a cut from an emblem make?

So the emblem is like a martial arts throwing star... ahahahaha... good one.


re: the wheels. I was looking at some parts on the online Honda parts stores and came across that little fact.
