Post 2008 Mugen Fit/Jazz





http://www.autoblog.com/2007/1...-jazz/





There's usually less than a week between the time a new vehicle is introduced by Honda and Mugen debuts its own hotted up version. Such is the case with the 2008 Honda Fit, also known as the Jazz in other markets, including Japan. The 2008 Fit was revealed by Honda last Thursday, and not four days later do we have the Mugen version. The splash page on Mugen's website is of course in Japanese, so we found out the details elsewhere and can tell you that Mugen will be offering two body kits for the Fit. The RS body kit (shown above) will be aggressive, or at least more so than the L/G Aero kit, and both will include new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, a roof spoiler and chrome exhaust tip. Other accessories like alloy wheels, aluminum pedals, different gauges, a sports exhaust, stiffer suspension and the like will also be available. No word on any force fed assistance for the Fit's little 1.5L powerplant, but we'll keep you posted if we hear anything.

I like it overall, but don't like the rims nor would I like to own a Fit with a crazy body kit....

Over all pretty good. I'm not in the Fit category market, but the car looks nice. I too don't like the rims. Some nice aftermarket 19" rims should do the trick though

I'm waiting until the day Honda decides to put the K20A in and call it the Fit Type R

Wouldn't that be nice. Then the paddle shifters would actually help.

It looks like it could be a Taxi in Blade Runner(not a police car), or Total Recall
