It's come to my attention that, for whatever weird reason, the JDM style Fit is sold in Mexico. That means it has the armrest and maplights, among other goodies.

The US borders Mexico, so why is anyone yet to import things like armrests and maplights from Mexico?

I mean, seriously. :-P

 

ive looked into it, just never was able to order anything from them without going down there.

 

Oh, and the Element maplights are the same as the JDM Fit maplights. My only problem there is mounting them. I'm not sure how they would or if there's anything in the headliner it'll mount to.

 

that woulda been worth it to me had i know before hand...

 

does that mean the shorter front ends are in mexico too?

 

It looks like it:

 

they are jdm spec, but the older version, not the s2k front bumper style. I went to baja california back in august and i went 2 the dealership 2 check out their cars and low and behold, a jdm spec fit was there (cept for being LHD).

 

in that case...that means we can head to Mexico get our JDM arm rest, JDM fenders, hood and lights....and what not. Meaning....easy JDM conversion.

dammit...i already have a full kit. LOL

 

I just want the armrest for cheap. :-P

 

i'd imagine the exchange rate would be alot better, anyone gonna look into possibly importing them parts? i'd like to find out what it do.

 

I'd just install the Element map light. It's been done by a bunch of folks, including myself

What did you mount the maplight housing to? Is there anything under that headliner that it connects to?

 

I may plan a trip to Mexico for vacation .

 

If you're willing to drive, I am so coming along xD

although my GPS doesn't work down there.. it has Canada and US only.... =o
