Everyone is trying to figure out if 2,000 dollars is worth the JDM Conversion... well i think i just figured a way for guys like myself (who don't quite own a Fit yet) to purchase this kit.

I've been checking Honda.com and the Sport Fit is 2,000 dollars more. Now what i've been looking at, the only difference i see for this car is a lip kit, and a spoiler (for the manuals anyway).

I figure, just take out a loan with 2,000 bucks extra and go ahead and buy the conversion kit.

The Few. The Proud. The JDM.

BTW, getting my Fit within a month or two. not sure whether to get Blue or White...

 

there is also the cruise control, and upgraded speakers/stereo with MP3 capabilities.

 

...Which is ENTIRELY the reason I'm getting one over the base model. Cruise may seem like such a small thing...but if you're gonna drive the car daily for tne next 5 years, it's one of the most convenient things you can have. Also, it'll do a LOT to keep you away from those killer speeding tickets.

 

your forgetting the biggest thing..... KEYLESS ENTRY!

 

i got keyless entry with the base model

 

don't forget the 15" alloys and da fogz.

 

yes but you had to pay for it.

 

like your not paying 2000 more for the sport?

 

I Don't think the difference comes out to 2,000. But adding all the extras, I think it's worth it. Did you get yours installed through the dealer w/ key + built in fob etc?

 

I have to say that I have been doing my homework on the Fit for well over a month. This includes calling my local dealership and getting the 5th degree over how I know about the Fit. Then seeing one on the lot and calling back the same dealership to arrange a test drive. Test drove the silver Fit Sport and fell in love! but wasn't ready to commit. They sold the car the same week although I have not seen it on the road. Test drove a Yaris and Versa just to do more homework and kept coming back to the Fit. Called the dealership yesterday to follow-up and the guy I have been working with told me they are getting a base model in the first of May(red) . Asked him to please call me so I can test drive the base but I really feel that I will go with the Sport just because it is so sweet! Anyway, the salesman insist that I come down and test drive a Civic because he feels that is a better car for me. They are getting two more Fits in mid May that are being built at this time a red and blue - I love the silver or orange but leaning towards the silver - they will use one of the cars coming in to trade off with another outside the state Honda dealership for the one that I decide to go with. Nothing like trying to buy our Fits - we have to be nuts to wait months for the ones we want.With any luck I'll have the car by June or July! He drove a Fit out of state to trade it for another vehicle and he just did not like the ride - I will be using for to and from work and I hate to drive long distance- no reason to so I am not concerned about that. Why is it that the dealership doesn't seem to back this perfect little car!

Cat :X

 

here's a justification not to.

you get in a front end collision, insurance sees you removed the US 5mph bumper supports in favor of a teeny ass jdm one. They will likely drop you.

 

Yea I know what thats like ... I have a 2006 Evo IX ... no cruse on race cars .... LOL ... trips to so cal from vegas makes wish I had it.
