GI : Badgeless Garnish for the 09+ Fit!

Everybody knows what the badgeless garnish is and everybody saw the posts and fitment for the 03-08. But just in case you hadn't here is the thread with the fitment pictures.

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/gaug...-handle-6.html

The badgeless garnish is the trunk handle with no badge basically. The OEM one features a badge that sticks out. IMO it looks cleaner with out it

The price would be around 79.99 give or take a few bucks depending on complexity of it.

I will be offering carbon fiber and painted ones with special orders but if ordered it plain they will come ready to paint.

Below please list your name if you would be seriously interested in this. Depending on how many people are interested I will start by ordering the panel and modifying it to have a mold made of it. The more people that want the faster this gets done

I usually want close to 10 people for a project like this since it does take a good amount of funds and materials to start. But lets take it one person at a time

I was on the previous list. You might want to remove me if it's still running. I just assumed that was a list for both models. Thanks

I already started the project. I ordered the grill today and should get it before Christmas. Over Christmas Ill be modifying it to be suitable to make a mold of the final product. And then when we get back from the holiday season then I will start the mold. Soon after that I will have a local come for test fitting.

Once that fits that tells me that we are ready to produce!

Give us a few weeks tops and well have this ready to order

One member already pre ordered. If anybody els wants to pre order at %10 off then PM me.

This isnt final but it would probably range between $99.99 - $129.99 since it would take allllot more to make it. With the FG ones when you atke it to your local shop to have it painted htey of coarse haev to make sure it fits perfectly and there arent any imperfections. So of coarse they sand the edges if they have to a little more even htough I try to make it as best as I can for an unpainted version.

But if I have to paint it or do one in CF then I have to make sure everything is perfect and ready to go on with no fitmant issues or minor imperfections what so ever. So it takes quite a bit more time.

Sounds good ... time is not a major issue for me... I would love to have it fit great and look good

I see many aftermarket part companies sell products that have major fitment issues and need much work to be done to fit the car well and even though its faster, and faster things = more money I'm not going to dare send something out that I know will need to basically be reconstructed. Especially if it comes pre painted or carbon fiber because then if you try to fix it you have to refinish it. In the carbon Fiber case the way it comes is the way it is. After seeing the excellent fitment of the prototype garnish for the 03/08 Fit I have no doubt that every garnish will have excelent fitment if not perfect.
