Found this really cool photo on the Noblesse offical site, taken before a huge nationwide Honda Fit meeting in Japan earlier this month. Noblesse never fails to impress, whether it's with their sexy dress-up builds or their track cars. -Mike Garrett...

Rolling on with my Tokyo Auto Salon coverage, it's time to look at this year's Honda showing. You have probably already seen photos of the cars displayed by Mugen and by Honda itself, but there plenty of other cool H-badged vehicles at TAS '09. I thought I'd start with the Tamon Design "Zaku" S2000 which was part of the Ray's Wheel both. This car has been in the making for over a year, and the finished product is really something....

Are you guys interested in seeing more tuned...

The Honda Fit is the best selling car in Japan by a long shot. Even I drive one! Despite the fact that our Fit is painted a somewhat less common color, there have still been times when I've had trouble figuring out exactly which Fit was ours in a crowded parking lot. The Fit also has a strong following among tuners in Japan, although most of them are pretty mild as far as modifications go. Then on the other hand, you have the J's Racing Fit GT seen here. Mild is the last word I would use...
