Hey guys I might be heading to the Philippines this summer and wanted to see what would be some good/somewhat rare parts over there? I've talked to a few people about places that sell full catbacks for $50. (gotta love the exchange rate) I'm gonna see if I can pick up some visors, rims, and anything else I can stuff into a large box! Anything special I should look for while over there?

 

mugen parts for sure and the whole JDM front, rear conversion....

 

dunno about the whole conversion though since it would be tough to squeeze into a balikbayan box! :P

 

I would be looking for uber old school rare items for EF's and EG's

 

when are you going? and how long? maybe i can toss you money to get me parts

 

Try to get a price quote on the auto folding rearview mirrors with turn signals. They should be able to sell both mirrors with all the necessary wiring and control button.

 

Get a shit load of Jazz emblems...

 

get the mugen style grill!!! Im' pretty sure u'd have all of us wanting to buy them from you.

 

get lots of mugen parts hahah

 

go to Tiendesitas area on thursday nights in Pasig. thats where all the fit owners converge

 

I hang out there a few times when i was there to visit.

 

i wanna see a fit on some work equips
but then again, they're kinda played out at the moment

 

I would pick up some LED Taillights (red/smoke), Folding Mirrors, & HID conversion

 

Work Equip 3's are Sick!!!!

 

Won't fit unless you do the JDM conversion

 

I thought the grill would be compatible with the USDM front? Maybe not...

I'm gonna look at bringing back tails/mirrors/HID's/emblems

As far as places to go I hear about places in Manila & Quezon city that have streets lined with shops. Gonna try to snoop around there if possible and see what deals I can find. I know some people who've walked away with $500 for a set of REAL VOLKS.

Also gonna see what I can do with my GF's cousin as far as getting me parts for when I get back stateside. Maybe I can help out the US Fit community!

 

The immitations aren't exact at all... Smudges & all that, looks kinda fat.

 

yea that I was thinking about that

 

Dont forget the new weight limit for check-in baggages is now 50 lbs. I have my cousin doing some research on where to go get parts for the FIT in the PI....I'm definitely getting some Jazz emblems and hopefully the armrest. Can someone recommend a good place around Manila/Makati area to get parts for the Fit/Jazz?

 

yeah because of that 50lb weight limit i'm gonna stick to getting smaller items and such instead of the 4 rims like I planned. Besides I found a great deal on some rims stateside!
