Mugen Honda Fit: RS Aero & L/G Aero
I really don’t get why high-end tuner companies aren’t as popular here in the US as they are in Japan. Of course a lot of these company’s products such as Mugen eventually make it to our shore, but rarely in the full form they do in Japan.
Mugen, the primary tuner for Honda factory cars, puts out some of the cleanest products for almost every Honda model. In Japan Mugen has 2 packages for the Honda Fit: RS Aero and L/G Aero.
The Mugen Honda Fit RS Aero tuning kit contains a new front bumper with an integrated grill and HID lights, new side skirts, dual exhausts and other accessories.
The Mugen Honda Fit L/G Aero tuning kit contains a new front bumper and side skirts, chromed exhaust pipe and a tail wing.
Honda Fit at the 2009 LA Auto Show
Last weekend my friends and I went to the LA Auto Show to check out the new cars for 2009. I was particularly interested in some of the new Hondas like the CR-Z (I’m guessing they went straight from -X to -Z because -Y would’ve made it the CR-Y and that just sounds weak). One of the cars getting the most attention though was the Fit. This was actually the first time that I’d seen the new model closeup and while I didn’t feel like waiting to sit down in it, I did check out the interior and was impressed. The integrated navigation system is very clean, additions like cub holders in the dash and armrests were practical, and like I’ve said since it came out, the exterior modifications are also very nice. I wasn’t too fond of the purple color this model was shown in, but that’s just me.
