My Jazz is finally finished

Finally added the last part, the leather steering wheel, to my jazz. I can now finally stop spending my cash on my car and start spending it on gas instead.

Parts added:
- fake mugen spoilers all around
- aluminum ball shift knob
- leather steering wheel
- OEM honda rims
- sports pedals
- dashboard trim
- 4 speakers
- leather seats










btw the pictures are honestly not photoshopped. Its because of the lightning and my phone camera

WHOA! Where did you get the leather seats? Did you buy entirely new leather seats? Did you have them custom made? Or are they really nice aftermarket seat covers? Whatever they are, they look absolutely great! The stitching even looks like the GE8 seat pattern.

I've had heated leather seats in my last 4 cars. I need black leather in my Fit... one way or another!

BTW, the car looks nice. Enjoy! Oh and, thanks for the pics.

I am fairly sure the leather seats are just covers. My dealer installed them for me. IMO they look even better in real life then in the pictures. I might take a better picture. The dealer even did the door panels in leather. Its simply amazing. Easy to clean, looks great, feels very nice. I just got the leather steering wheel and it really enhances the driving experience. It feels really great in the hand. The aluminum shift knob is so great too that I always want to downshift/upshift or get sad when I hit 5th gear. I never want a car without sports pedals, leather interior/steering wheel and leather/aluminum/steel shift knob or an automatic car unless its a hybrid/electric car.

But no matter what its still a jazz. I really hate that.

I dont hate it and I'd have to convince myself that the jazz is probably the best in its price class. But its just not the ultimate car and I really hunger for more and better

I gotcha. What engine is in your Jazz? Mine is a 1.5l. I love the chassis of the car, even with the twist beam axle. I would enjoy maybe 15 more hp, though.

I got a 1.5L engine with 117 bhp I think. I have seen cars like VW Scirocco and ofcourse R8s and GTRs and it really makes want to have one of those. This is the first car I bought and I just bought it as a student for commuting, shopping and traveling in my spare time. But I never had imagined that I would enjoy driving so much. So yeah I really want a nice sportscar (with 6speed manual!). I wish I had money though

the headunit is just stock. The manual jazz here gets that standard as well as double din (or something?). I want to get a GPS navigator but they are just so darn expensive here.

The head unit is quite ugly (in my opinion). Is it OEM? I have not seen that before.

Better to learn driving on your "underpowered" GE than be overwhelmed with too much power and too stiff suspension right off the bat IMHO. Bring it to the track, get lessons, and try to extract the maximum out of your GE in stock condition before modifying or hankering for a sports car.

Anyway those 15" wheels are from the GM2 Honda City right? I was looking into getting those too for my GD1. They look pretty good Nice job on the leather steering wheel too.

Thanks

Its just the standard, OEM, stock radio that came with my manual fit. It is ugly but it does the job. Or i'd have to spent over $1000 to get a navigator.

The rims on the honda city are 16" and got a y-pattern instead of my v-pattern. Otherwise they are exactly the same.

Oh okay. Where I come from (Manila), we get your 15" wheels as stock items on our GM2 Cities.

first of all it sounds like your jazz will be done when you sell it for your "more expensive sportscar you really want"!
i think any car you drive you will mod, either a little or alot! because we as humans tend to want to be just a little different than the next guy, so even if you buy a GTR or a R8 you'll end up changing something !
your jazz is really nice ans if you have more pictures of the exteriour i'd like to see them, do you have a rear spoiler (roof) i'm thinking of removing mine and sick ass cars like yours might make me do it.
thanks man oh and i predict "you'll keep diong modding it" we always do!!!!!!
