Hello guys, I'm new to the fit scene as well as to this forum. I don't know if this question has been asked but I've searched the forum and nothing. I was wondering if a 2010 fit head lights fenders and bumpers would be interchangeable with a 2008 model, I'm looking to do the face lift but I'm unsure if it'll work. Please help, thanks

 

nope wont work, would need quite a bit of modification.

 

thanks for that, finally I get an answer after searching for about 2 weeks

 

the 09 and up have a much longer chassis i believe, one thing i dont like about the new fit's is the way the front looks other than that i love them

 

someone said to me that all I got to replace is the radiator support so I can change the whole front(fenders head lights and bumper) to the new face lift.

 

Whoever told u that lied to you.

 

can you tell me what is needed please?

 

gd3 and ge8 fits aren't the same chassis - i think the tools you'll need are rulers/measuring tape, some circular saws, welders, metal, time, and the ability to fabricate parts. it's going to need custom work.

if you can do it, you might be the first.

 

You need the hood, fenders, lights, and they will have to be cut and mated to the stock parts (cut and weld)

 

I appreciate the input guys, sorry to sound so dumb on this is just I dunno much (not to say I know nothing) about fits, they're not my Forte. it's my wife's car I actually own different model car but from the same company. I guess she'll have to stay with her 2008 front

 

Actually!!!!

Both things Euro-D said are true... If the 2008 Fit is JDM.

Remember, 2008 JDM Fit is the GE chassis, and the JDM <-> USDM conversion deals with rad support.

 

Yea except he lives in New York.

 

True.

But at the very least it could explain what "someone" told him (even if mistakenly).

Then again, you never know, some folks could've imported their cars. (doubt it in this case though).

 

unless whoever told him was talking about converting to the JDM front end... since he mentioned the rad support being replaced. (which sounds more likely)

 

I'll stick to the 2008 sport front end, but this was really enlightening information for future refrence. Thanks again guys
