Thanks for your reply. I agree with car colors. A good color for Phoenix is white with dark window tint and a good air conditioner. I wouldn't think the Jazz A/C would be all that great just because it has such a small engine. I used to have a '86 Honda Civic Si and the A/C worked really great, as long as you were driving with the sun at your back. :-)

Amen on the AC, got to be cool for us here on the Gulf Coast,1 hour N of Tampa.
Yesterday, went to the "other" coast to Melbourne. As I was about to turn onto 404 by the AF Base from the Cocco Beach Barrier island, a tricked out yellow Fit pulled up next to me. F'in SWEET!!! As I was rolling down my window to tell him to pull over light changed and he was gone (sigh), Nice car, who ever you are

Great car!! Love your new headlamp, front bumper (S-type), however why dont you get a set? Cause the rear bumper addon is not really in line with the rest of the car. Any specs on what being replace etc.

Are those Mugen wind visors on the door windows any different then the Honda Japan factory wind visors? They look great, adds a nice JDM touch since alot of cars in Japan like putting those on. Do you mind if I asked how much you paid for them and if the place you got them from would be willing to ship a set to the US? Thanks.

jdmgd3: Yes it's a different shape from the original Honda items. It's aerodynamic aswell, Mugen did a really good job with this visors. Yes I think JDMYARD will deliver to the USA. Here is their website.. www.jdmyard.com

Thanks CarBoy, I didnt notice this JDM Yard is based in Australia though, it seems like Australians get charged a few different types of fee's for imported goods that the US doesnt, a guy on ebay based in Australia is charging double the list price for the Spoon spring/shock kit for the GD3 Fit/Jazz which is rediculous and I asked him why and he said Australian based customers get charged some type of Duty and VAT fee's which dont apply to the US. But I will email JDM Yard nonetheless, thanks.

Oh how do you like your Tein coilovers? I assume that is what your using since that drop is lower then what you can achieve with lower springs alone. I was looking into the Spoon coilovers but the spring rates are too high for a car that only weighs 2200lbs. Cusco also makes coilovers but im thinking about going with the GAB setup, at only $600USD its way too tempting to pass up for a full set of springs/shocks.
