Well, in case you haven't noticed, there's a Fit in the banner at the top of the page, that looks different from yours. Should've been your first clue.

There's two sections for Fits, 07-08 and then 09+... second clue. Do a little browsing, and I'm sure you would've seen plenty of pictures for the cars.

But as per thy laziness, yes, there's a difference, and you won't be able to fit most body kits (some little things might fit with some adjustment, like winglets).

You haven't seen being an ass.

The fact you thought I was being an ass only shows me that you became defensive when it was pointed out to you how simple the answer is.

If you're going to buy a car... don't you want to put some effort into researching it? I mean you already put effort into look for a body kit. Just a few moments of looking around, and all would've been clear. But, instead, you wanted people to TELL you an answer you could've already known.

Have fun.

You honestly can't tell the difference between an 07-08 vs 09+ (iGD vs GE)?

I find that hard to believe.

yep the body did change. check out the photo forum, and look for titles with GD3 (first gen) and GE8 (second gen) to compare the differences.

body kits are pretty readily available for the first gen, but second gen kits are lagging behind quite a bit. personally, I think the stock second gen is pretty nice (mugen kit is reeeaaaallly nice for it) but I'm a little biased

I understand that some folks can't tell the difference between a hummer and a corvette (seriously).

But if you're gonna buy a car, you should be able to pick out your car from any line up.

In that regards there are a couple of basic things that should be obvious.

Front hood:

GD's hood looks kinda flat with a line down the middle.

GE's look more curved with two lines.

Silhouettes:

GDs have more straight lines than the GE. GD's windshield is relatively straight with a relatively straight hood line. Same with the trunk/hatch. When looking from the front or back, the side panels do the same thing. GE shows curves in the silhouette (humped nose?).

These are at least some of details I expect a prospective buyer to notice.

For someone that wants to do body kits, I expect a person to know MUCH more. Actual shape of the bumpers, shape of headlight and taillight housings. Shape of hatch. And so on, because these are some of the details that affect body kits.

Either your mentally ill, if so please excuse my comment or your just a dumb ass. Even a second grader can tell the difference between the 1st gen and 2nd gen......

If you can't see the difference between the 1st and 2nd gen Fits then why would you need a body kit? What style are you trying to achieve if you are unable to imagine what it will look like?

In defense of the original poster, you have to remember that despite the Fit being a top seller around the world, he/she may live in an area where they are not all that common. I live in Souther California and even with eleventy billion people here I do not see all that many Fits in the road. There are times when I see a generation one, and I have to take a second look to recognize it as a Fit.

Also, to the uninformed perhaps the OP was talking attach points or something that has a universal application.

Finally we are talking about a Honda Fit here, not some collectible car where an enthusiast would be justified in nit picking the difference between a badge, or a trim piece.

I dont think it can be considered nit-picking when you are talking about a complete model-generation overhaul as they are when comparing gd vs ge. They are hardly similar in design!

Guess I'm a moron too. I had trouble early on telling the differences between GDs and GEs. For one thing GDs are few and far between in my area and GEs aren't that much more common, so my chances to do a side-by-side where nil. As cars go the two are more similar in appearance then different so if you looking at pictures or just get a glimpse of a passing car it is hard to tell if you don't know what to look for. Just because the two look some what different doesn't necessarily mean that after market parts can't work on both. Though in this case the different dimensions would no doubt prohibit that.

Yes the OP could have done more research to get his answer, but that is true of most, if not all, questions asked in these forums. No need to jump his case.

To the OP: If anything is designated for 07 - 08 it probably won't do on a 10 or 11.
