RS model?

I see people adding the RS badge to their Fit, but I am having a hard time tracking down specifications of what the RS entailed.

From What I can tell, it appears to be the Mugen aero kit, is that all? I'm not one to add additional badges that I can't substantiate. I'm actually the guy that usually de-badges his car completely for a cleaner look like I did to my del Sol.

Any info on the RS model would be appreciated.

My current plan with the Fit is to fully badge and see what grows on me and remove the rest. Already not sure I like the side Mugen badges, thinking of going with smaller, low key Mugen decals placed on the aero parts themselves.

RS equals Road Sailing. It is essentially the sport model here in Japan, but slightly better equipped than what is offered in the North American market.

So essentially since I have the sport model in the US, what am I missing to be "Road Sailing", lol

rear discs, full auto a/c, right-hand drive, shorter front and rear ends with completely different front and rear bumpers, amber red dash, lighter weight, different gear ratios (no need to shift to 3rd to reach 60mph), HID headlights, led tail lamps, led turn signals in the mirrors and maybe some other minor things that I'm not recalling at the moment.

You can still stick the badge on there and pretend.

All these guys sticking RS, Type R, etc. on their cars. Think Big! May as well go for the platinum, right?

Well that is an option on any level Fit here, not just the RS. Since it is an option, didn't include that as a difference.

It looks good. Whatever. That's why people do cosmetic mods.
