30/07/2012 - 29/07/2012 - More pics of the car. HERE

30/07/2012 - 29/07/2012 - Beat-Sonic Dolphin Antenna Install. HERE

Future Mods:
- Beat-Sonic Dolphin Fin (Just need to install it) COMPLETED
- Interior Illumination (RGB 5050 SMD LED Strips on its way)
- Blue RS Front and Rear Emblem
- Blue Fit Badge (uncertain yet)
- Blue Vinyl in H Badge
- LED DRL's
- Blue Velox Glide's 17x7.5 +42

Thanks guys. It's a pretty sick blue.
Not many of these around either since it's a very limited run here.
Will try and get some pics in next few days.

Haha. Random.
I can ask my local dealer but can't expect it to be cheap.
Not even sure if we can get them since this model wasn't even in Aus for a year.

I get pretty cheap inbound international shipping. I don't suspect the part to be more than about A$150 based on what I paid for my set brand new from Honda Taiwan.

Hahaha. I have no idea who Sprintex is but i don't think a first meeting like that would go down to well. Lol. Besides, i'd rather them install a Supercharger on this car. Haha.

I guess we'll have to wait and see if i can even get the part. Im good with the dealer but not sure how it goes parts wise. Will keep u updated.

What is with the Vibe-S? I am not familiar with that badging.

Your wheels are like my 09 GE ones and not like the '12s here.

Australia gets our Jazz's from the Thailand plant but due to the recent flooding of that plant we had Japan supply us with them instead and with that came the Vibe and Vibe-S.

Vibe is just a standard and Vibe-S has all the options like the body kit. Can't remember exactly what's different off the top of my head. Got the brochure lying around somewhere.

This car is off the last batch of Vibe/Vibe-S' coming to Aus and was the second last blue one available. Just got lucky. Haha.

Looks good.

Wish I had a Speedo in kms only instead of the bilingual ones we get here.

Also do not have the big door open warning in the middle.

Thanks. Lol.
Well we don't use MPH here.

It's a pretty cool warning thing actually. Tells you which of the 5 doors are open and lights up accordingly.
