Went to Japan. Report on Honda Fits (hybrid included)

First I have to say that there are sooo many fits there (both GE and GD), it's almost every 5th car is a fit. I only saw one RS model though. Quite a few hybrids too. Here are some photos.IMG_1697.jpg?t=1294729218IMG_1696.jpg?t=1294729240IMG_1694.jpg?t=1294729259IMG_1693.jpg?t=1294729276IMG_1652.jpg?t=1294729291IMG_1554.jpg?t=1294729305IMG_1118.jpg?t=1294729318IMG_0800.jpg?t=1294729334IMG_0506.jpg?t=1294729352IMG_0504.jpg?t=1294729368IMG_0505.jpg?t=1294729568IMG_0501.jpg?t=1294729383IMG_0502.jpg?t=1294729399IMG_0500.jpg?t=1294729411

I'm not going to lie, I'd totally rock the blue Fit in the 4th picture if had the same Modulo lip kit as the silver Hybrid (but with the black grill from the blue Fit), lowered with Swift springs, and had gunmetal HFPs for the '07 GD.

Im still chillin in Japan but not the main land. There are a ton of GDs and a bunch of base model GEs. Cant wait to see a hybrid or RS. I want to find out where I can get aftermarket parts. I have seen numerous hondas with mugen parts even hondas I have never heard of. Great pics!

They really don't like the stabilizer over there, do they? Nice pics by the way--very sharp!

Impressive that you could tell it was taken in Matsumoto. Yeah, I liked that little town. Have you been there too or you read the license plate?

How are the roads there? Looks way better than here in the NE...

All the cars look fresh out the carwash ... My fit looks like bacalao (salted codfish)

Thanks for the great pictures. I was there in November and snapped this Civic shot.

BTW, Japan is a great country with lots of culture. Clean, modern, english friendly and the people are very respectful.

Susan,

Yes. The RS in white only comes in Premium White Pearl(NH-624P) and Honda charges an additional ¥30000 ($375) for it.
