Wife's in Japan, Ideas for Fit stuff for her to bring back?

I have a Base 08 Fit and am not into body kits or suspension mods. What JDM stuff should I ask her to bring back from Japan for my Fit? She's there on business. I was thinking about the window nets, do they have them in Japan?

I already have door sills, vent visors, rear bumper applique, fog lights, keyless entry.

I don't want something too big (seats are out) and I have an AT so the JDM center console it out.

Thanks in advance RG

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing but the window shades available in Europe, I thought, were pretty cool. They were $300 after exchange which is IFFY. I'd just have her look at an online catalog if possible. The orientals are way more into gadgets and have a much better selection then we do. I'd have to look anyway. She might just get some cool trinkets that Yankees can't get plus that might be the most luggage friendly anyway.

That's an upsetting picture in my mind! I bet that they're available in Japan.

feddup,
I don't usually get involved with things like this, but here goes anyway. Oriental and rugs go okay together. If you are referring to people, Asian is a safer bet, so as not to be offensive/racist. FWIW.

I have a German name, blue eyes and look like a skinhead (male pattern baldness can't be helped). I have more black friends than white. I wasn't trying to be politically correct and I wasn't trying to slam anyone.

I may have stumbled in my "PCness". I'm tired of worrying about political correctness. I drive a car made in the ORIENT!!!!! The fact that it's made in Japan was a major selling point. I love it. Why the term would be acceptable for rugs and yet demeaning for cars is beyond me.

Your wife is so lucky! I would love to go to Japan and just check out all the great looking rides. I would go to Mugen and drool! Definitely key rings, door sills if you don't have them the Mugen ones look great, coin holder,
lights - decals a must and tell her to take pictures of any Fits she might see so you can post them up for us.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll ask her to look into the visor, map lights, and maybe the center console and third brake light. I won't ask for the phallic shifter.

oh with the LED Third brake light... just so you know, when you hit the brakes the incandescent taillights will lag the third brake light slightly and it will be noticeable. LEDs light immediately. its not a big deal, stuff like at annoys me though

LEDs are awesome too because they have a very true vivid color. my taillights are really seriously red.. so JDM tails would be a cool too.
