Thanks goes to RA64FREDDY for showing off a couple pics of this very nice Honda Fit from Indonesia.  With a staggered wheel setup, low stance, and Noblesse aero kit, you can’t go wrong on this Fit.

Came across this Japanese company, K-Spec, that produces aero parts/body kits and exhausts/mufflers for Japanese vans and K-cars.  Their aero parts division goes under the smooth name of “Silk”.   They go along a bit with the VIP theme with the large bumpers and huge muffler tips.  I love the fog lights they add to the front!

Their kits aren’t too over the top and the dual tip muffler works nicely with the SILK kit.

I was browsing an old Style Wagon Club magazine brought back from Japan and came across an ad for wheels from BADX Japan.  Most of the wheels they produce are aimed at sub-compacts/smaller cars and have a dimensional face to them with the use of contrasting colors and depth.  The wheel pictured above is the “Turbine”, inspired by, well, a turbine!

Another wheel, the DIVA Double Face, which features different colored spokes for a stealth effect, as shown on a JDM Toyota bB.

The offsets could be a little better, but it still looks good in my book.

Found the above image browsing on Japanese seat cover maker Y-Brand’s website and had to enjoy the English translation.  But then I got thinking at how cool the Japanese spec bB (xB) is pictured on the right.  To me, it seems like more of a big brother to the 1st gen xB than the US spec xB.  It has the familiar box shape, but with a little face lift and updated grille/headlights.  I have featured the new bB on this blog before talking a little bit about its history.  If you had to choose between the Japenese spec bB and the new US spec xB, what would you go with?
