Goodies
Got a Xmas present today in the mail from my friend in Japan! Pretty interesting stuff I must say -- the big book is just as it says, and is loaded with ads, articles, parts catalogs, etc. all for the Fit. I never even knew this book existed, and even though it's from 2004 it's got stuff in it we've never seen here. The smaller book is the JDM 2006 Fit Owner's manual, and is the same thing as what you got stuffed in your glovebox, but just Japanese. It's pretty interesting too as it details everything about how the JDM Fit operates and is maintained. The last thing is the CD, which is the Honda Electronic parts catalog for 2005. It's probably the most interesting as it's the complete parts catalog/listing for all JDM Honda models and variations from 1996 - 2005. Not a bad present at all. :)

Oh yes, I counted 33 pages just devoted to body kits alone already. Some are pretty sweet, but then some are like :eek: -- what the hell were they thinking?! Nice to know what out there though if I ever do a conversion.

As promised, I pulled all the links from the Tuning guide and posted them on my site Links page: http://homepages.apci.net/~sirmyt/links.html
There's 50+ links of aero parts, dress-up parts, and wheels I just added to the 20 or so that were already there -- all 100% JDM. From my site, just click the links and go. For those too lazy to visit, here's the list I added: www.fabulous.co.jp Fabulous www.weds.co.jp Weds/Laufen www.luckystar.co.jp Lucky Star www.hks-kyusyu.co.jp HKS Kyusyu Service www.web-xanadu.com Xanadu www.t-and-e.co.jp Car Make T & E www.spirits-world.jp Spirits www.garage-ill.co.jp Porno Inspire www.s-2.co.jp NKB Power www.w-blood.com HeavyEffect Selection www.kenstyle.co.jp Kenstyle www.a-m-s.gr.jp A.M.S. www.autofriend.tv Lucky Beans www.azect.co.jp Azect www.american-racing.co.jp American Racing Japan www.arw.co.jp Black Racing www.wald-japan.co.jp Wald www.wisteria-japan.com/frp.htm Wisteria www.walker-j.co.jp Air Walker www.vary.co.jp Garage Vary http://vurtel.com/ Vurtel www.corrmann.net Corrmann www.cavalleresco.com Distinto Bellezza www.tenkafubu.com Samurai www.gialla.co.jp Sportivo Gialla www.damd.co.jp Damd www.aaa-aaa-aaa.com Triple.A www.value-sports.co.jp Value Sports www.buddyclub.jp Buddy Club www.pond.co.jp Avant Garde www.carcrane.com Raven http://www.lx-mode.com/bud/lineup/ca...aeroparts.html Back up Mode www.kazz-sports.co.jp Kazz-sports www.apexera.co.jp Apex Japan www.rayswheels.co.jp Rays Wheels Japan www.5zigen.co.jp 5zigen Japan www.piaa.co.jp PIAA Japan www.yrc.co.jp Yokohama ADVAN Japan www.ueda-s.co.jp Ueda Co.

Nice list.
And the Japanese sites can be translated with sites like Babelfish. Not always with the best gramatical result, but you can understand most of whats written on the pages with this. |
i got through about half of the links last night with google translator and im finding some pretty nice looking body kits :D
finished them this morning, when i get back from appointment ill show you my finds :D |
whew time to show my finds :D lol
fabulous body kit azect body kit wald body kit gratz body kit vary body kit vurtel body kit (cant direct link it) cavalleresco body kit tenkafubu body kit gialla body kit damd body kit another damd body kit value sports body kit buddyclub body kit raven body kit lx mode body kit kazz sports body kit woodbell body kit yeah thats about all the good ones, the other ones looked like snowplows :confused: dunno why they dig the snowplow bumper so much.. |
All good finds. It's a shame that there weren't more links for just parts and stuff in the guide. They had a section of tuning parts that was fairly extensive, but no links -- just co. ph#'s which is useless for most people here.
The snowplow, jutted out bumpers come from the Bosozoku (bike/car gangs) aesthetic -- the idea is to make the form of the vehicle as extreme as possible to stand out and make a statement, and often to piss people off. |

lol they think its going to piss people off? i think its more likely to make people laugh. i mean why would you want to make your car extreme in the ugliest way? xD if i were aiming for extreme body kits i would probably give the fit a bmw front bumper and a g35 rear bumper lolol

Oh man, that yellow RX-7 with the deeeeep dish Equips is the stuff right there.
