Lorenzo, for the red "H" badges, check here:

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...e-09-fits.html

They run about $85-90 for the pair of OEM ones. There are cheaper copies, but fake.

These have adhesive tapes behind; just peel off and stick. The front badge involves cutting/grinding off a stud before sticking on. Definitely a DIY project, no worries.

Good luck.

In the pic you posted it looks really chrome... my eyes are getting old.... regardless.. it looks tight... real nice job on the mods..

I'm thinking if I can get that sport grill properly chromed somehow, it might look good with the Luxe theme I'm doing.

Thanks for the compliment FitStir. If you insist, call it satin finish (dull chrome) then.

Nah, it's definitely the lighting & my eyes... plus your car is silver, so the sports grill looks almost chrome... looks real good especially with the type-r badges...

but that gave me an idea... I wonder if I can get it chromed, and how it would look on my CBP, with the other chrome accents I got...

Yeah, it really did look like it was chrome. I hope I can find a place here where I can buy those red Hs.

Benggolf, kabayan!

Buy them from Nori on ebay ---> eBay Seller: plijokkjiu46521kkjh: Parts Accessories items on eBay Motors

He's legit, and official... everything he sellls is OEM, no fake stuff..

he has a set listed for sale now ---> 09 2009 HONDA FIT JAZZ GE6 GE8 FR RR JDM RED H EMBLEM:eBay Motors (item 110416833491 end time Jul-29-09 17:11:34 PDT)

but even if doesn't have any listed, just shoot him a pm the part #'s are:
Front Type-R badge 75700-SNW-003
Rear Type-R badge 75700-S5T-E01

I actually like the idea of the chrome sport grill... I'm thinking it would look good on my Crystal Black Pearl.... I also like the Noblesse front grill..... but I wont have any $$$$ to do any more mods for a little while..

If I changed the front grille would the H badge still fit?

If you mean the OEM "H" badge....yes, it would still fit on the sports grille providing you can remove it from the OEM grille without damaging it. More than likely, the OEM "H" will break in the process of removal.

Suggest you keep the OEM grille with the "H" badge and get a separate red "H" for the sports grille. This way, you can sell the OEM grille for more money to a body shop or FiT owner that needs a replacement OEM grille.

That is very reasonable. The stealership here charged me C$186.00 + taxes!

thank you for the offer teamfit, but I'm still saving up. I'm still a student and those rims and tires i bought dried up my savings. lol. would the 3500 you mentioned include the paint? or is it already painted taffeta white?

Benggolf, yeah I would expect something like that to cost twice as much in the US. Luckily for me labor is cheaper here.

I'd say drop it even just 1".

The drop on GEs using TEIN S.Tech springs is surprisingly low. What used to be a 1.5" drop on GDs is just about 1.1" on GE6s. Had a friend with his GE6 on S.Techs and I couldn't believe how conservative the drop was.

If you can find TEIN High Tech springs they'd give you even less drop, just about 0.8"

Good luck.
