From what I've seen the hood is about 6 inches shorter on the JDM version than the USDM version and the rebars aren't as large. The fenders are also different, and the wiring for the JDM taillamps needs to be lengthened to fit the USDM. I'm not sure beyond that.

I went over to BPT (Boom Plus Toys) today. The exhaust sounds AWESOME!!! It's such a beautiful Fit. I love it. Too bad i don't have 4G's to do it.

all that needed.?

so all that is needed to fit the little lip kits from mugen? i did read the small writing that stated that the lips may not fir on the oem bumper but is going to have to o before the little mugen lip will fit? , what about the rear or side lips?? im assuming with the rite hardware underneath the JDM bumper will fit? sorry just wondering , got my eyes on that little silver set on kings... i do realize that if you get one JDM all the rest need to be changed to everything fits but when does it match up ? the doors?? anyways that fit you got is lookn hot.

do u have a conparision shot of the fenders
jdm vs usdm?
and a answer on if the hood is actually shorter
im trying to figure out still why the jdm kits dont fit a usdm fit
i find it odd they'd make the jdm fit shorter than a usdm one

u notch the hood latch support back for the shorter hood i take it
whats the size difference from jdm vs usdm headlights as well?
