I actually really like the trim on it. Not so much for the larger rounder size, but I really wish we had trim like that for my car.

Albeee, the Twist fender flares is much small and less prominent than the picture you showed. Keep that in mine. I don't think it extended out that much at all. If the dealer has it in the showroom I will take some pictures for you.

Thanks marty, yep, that's exactly the look I am going for. I like that it is more of a subtle trim piece (like the ones on the Euro Civic/Porsche Cayenne) than an actual fender flare. Let me know when you get the chance and thanks again!

I took a shot at it myself but no dice. I even tried to navigate Honda Brazil to try to find distributors or hopefully a dealership webpage with searchable parts department but it's a needle in a haystack with my limited knowledge of Brazilian Honda dealerships

Looks like you will need to modify it for sure the way it wraps around the bumpers. Sideskirts should be no problem. I have been interested in those since I saw the first pics of the Twist.

Good luck!

Styling aside, with OH weather I'd be interested. I had the original version of the CRV but I bought the Fit, not wanting to spend $6-8k more and 6-8 mpg less. But I do miss the AWD and higher seating and ground clearance. But I suspect that with all that on a Fit it would push it closer to CRV $$ and mpg. That would leave less $$ for motorcycles!

The shipping is not much of a problem. The high cost of parts and the reliability of the post office are the problems. Expect to pay 2 to 3 times the "normal cost" of parts as in the states. E.g., Air filter $30 USD, Oil Filter $45 USD, 1 qt of mobil one synthetic oil $30 USD....
