Is any drilling or modification needed?

Yes. Although the diffuser replaces the factory under panel and the manufacturer calls it bolt-on, bolt holes have to be machined during installation. Test fit the part, mark the hole positions carefully, and have a body shop do the work if you are not comfortable drilling.

Does the Type-S Rear Diffuser for GE8 cars fit a late model RS?

No. The Type-S Rear Diffuser for GE8 cars is made only for the early 1.5 RS, built up to September 2010 with chassis numbers 1000001 to 1499999. Late model cars built from October 2010 and other GE Fit trims are not listed for this part.

Yes. The diffuser is supplied in black gelcoat FRP and must be painted before installation. The images show a finished, painted example. Have a body shop prepare the surface and paint it to match the bumper or in a contrasting color before fitting.

What does the diffuser do?

The manufacturer designed it to straighten airflow along the rear sides of the car and under the body. It also changes the look of the rear considerably. No downforce figures are published, so treat it as a flow and styling part rather than a measured aerodynamic gain.

Can I combine it with other Type-S parts?

Yes. It belongs to the Type-S aero range for the GE Fit, alongside parts such as the front wing spoiler and GT bumper. Check that each part is listed for your build period, because the early and late model RS use different pieces in several cases.

Description

J’s Racing Type-S Rear Diffuser for GE8 Honda Fit RS Early Model

J’s Racing’s Type-S Rear Diffuser for GE8 Fit RS early model cars reshapes the back of the car. It takes the place of the under panel beneath the factory rear bumper, and J’s Racing designed its shape to straighten airflow along the rear sides and the underside of the car. The diffuser is FRP finished in black gelcoat and is supplied unpainted. The Osaka company made it specifically for the 1.5 RS built before the facelift. It suits an early RS owner completing a Type-S body or chasing a cleaner rear view; owners of other trims will need a different part.

Tips

J’s Racing describes the fitment as bolt-on, since it replaces an existing panel, but bolt holes still need to be made during installation. Paint the diffuser before fitting it, and test fit it against the bumper first so any hole positions can be marked accurately. A body shop can handle both jobs in one visit.

About J’s Racing

J’s Racing was established in Osaka in 1989, as VTEC engines and lightweight Civics and Integras were changing what a Honda could do, and it has built parts for Hondas ever since. The company develops engine response, suspension, braking, cooling and aerodynamics together as one system, then proves the parts in time attack, gymkhana, endurance and circuit racing. Its Fit lapped Tsukuba Circuit in 1’00.459, and its naturally aspirated AP1 S2000, the Maou car, became the company’s reference build for the Honda roadster. Every J’s Racing part is designed and tested in Japan, and J’s Racing USA in Carson, California handles distribution in the United States.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
