did you order any other additional options to your FIT or just the sport package?

I've been told in the past that those windows are sealed to increase structural rigidity, similarly to the windsheild. Hinging them would likely weaken the chassis.

My 81 1500GL had them, and they were really nice, but probably too much of a hassle to change, especially since I have absolutely zero bodywork skills. If anyone fits the Mugen window vents between now and December, let me know how they work.

As best as I can tell there is an inlet at the leading edge of the front one, and an outlet at the trailing edge of the rear one. My question is: in between those openings, is the bottom edge flush with the glass? If that were the case, cracking the rear windows at speed should be enough to suck major air through the vents without a lot of wind noise.

Sorry to be obsessing about this. It's just the way I am. My biggest problem is I see Fits (Jazzes) everyday here, but I can't buy one!

The clips of the visors sit inside the moulding where the window sit while it is rolled all the way up. It doesn't interfere anything and very to install.

Last night, I saw a guy park his Jazz with the Mugen vents. Unfortunately, Bangkok traffic wouldn't allow me to make a quick three-lane cut to inspect further. I need to visit R-Style again to see if they have them in stock.

Bought the car from Marv Jones Honda B.C.

Have you checked to see the width of the stock wheels?

thanks!
They are 15*6 +55 offset.

I didn't order anything. The dealer gave me a free set of floor mats and an IPOD cable.
