It always gets me annoyed that the US fits get a longer nose ... it's for crash purposes, so of course, I appreciate that. But I think the Japan version has a much more unified design look! :/

I got white as well. One of the best looking colors IMO, although, I do worry that over the years white will go out of style again. But we won't know that for a while eh?

I know what you mean. But it grew on me now, and sometimes when I see the JDM front it looks too short for me. JDM is better for most things, but not everything, lol.

How funny is it that the best GT-R tuners in the world are from America? lol

I'm glad you think so, for me the USDM Fit looks a bit out of proportion and needs plastic surgery to fix the elongated nose.

They both look good, but I think somewhere in the middle would be a good compromise, as far as the length of the nose.

The ridiculous length of the front bumper is why you end up with the bumper being broken loose from the front fenders... The majority of the driveways I encounter can't be negotiated by a GD3 sport model with the stock suspension height with out at least causing some damage... No other part of the car ever scrapes except once when the resonator on my Megan B pipe made contact on a speed bump... The car was heavily loaded and dropped on Swift Mach springs at the time..

Cornerstrike, you're welcome for helping you choose white. Wonder if people stateside would pay the extra $300 for the pearl white? Taffeta is not offered on the RS, just the lower model here. Still a nice shade to me. Had no choice, had to pay extra for white.

Im not sure about white, but I would definitely pay $300 for Pearl Yellow. Would still go with my gunmetal Enkeis I have now.

The yellow is nice, but my belief is a Honda should be white. :P

I know. Championship White has been the official Honda color for a long time, and I do like it.

But Pearl Yellow looks great as well. On the S2K and the Fit.

Pearl White is sooo elegant.. That is a color that would look great on anything.

Hey 555sexydrive, I was wonder what the paint code is on your Fit. I'm interested to see what toners are in that color.

Except why all the extra padding in the back? That's more weight bra!
