If someone are interested I can get the tail lights from my dealer here in Brazil and send to you.
I dont know it's cost or if will be expensive for you after converting from R$ to US$ as a new Fit is about US$35,000 here, and with much, much less options, accessories, etc.
This saturday I will go to my dealer and will get the numbers.

Here are some pictures of my new fit and its tail lights.

IMO I'd get springs over tails for a couple reasons. Number one is looks, springs completely change the look of your car, tails don't, not to mention springs lower the center of gravity, thus helping with handling too, not to mention lowering springs help you when cleaning/detailing your car too

I guess I don't see what's wrong with our tails, they look great, with that aluminum look inside there and nice balance of clear and red, nice! If you wanna change the looks of your tails a bit, get some chrome Sylvania bulbs like I did that are chrome but turn amber when in use, just my .02 cents worth.

I'd clean up the boot area with less badging, even badging on both sides, no badging and/or NO dealership badging to start with, not mention badging from a car from another company and country

Question

Shame on me, but even though there's so much going on out on the boot, I just happened to notice the rear disc brakes, WTF

How in the hell did we not get this on our cars, especially the "sport"?

Vizibilli, your fuel door is up front, WOW! I like the rear disc brakes for sure, the short bumpers and even little stuff like the red hazard button

LOL. The Fit in Brazil has TWO fuel doors. The back one is like yours, but we can fill it with 100% gasoline OR 100% alcohol (ethanol) OR any proportion of them.
The front fuel door is a very small tank (only 700ml) and is filled only with gasoline that is used at engine starts in cold days as alcohol is not good in this situation. Its use is automatic and we need to do nothing.

About the rear disc brakes: we have 4 fit models (LX -entry version-, LXL, EX, EXL - top version- All with manual or automatic transmission). The only version that do not have rear disc brakes is the entry one (LX).

Guys, got the price of the tail lights at my dealer. I'm sure it will not be good for you.
I think that US$95.00 (each one) + shipping is too pricey. I think you can get better offers.
What could I expect when a Fit can reach almost US$38,000 here?
