Two Honda Fit concepts (the car known as the Honda Jazz on our local shores) are being exhibited at the SEMA show this week. One is the 2009 Honda Fit MUGEN Concept, which is equipped with a line of new MUGEN accessories that will be available through US dealerships.

The other one is the Tjin Edition 2009 Fit project, which is done up by Gene Tjin. It’s more of a luxury pimpage, which gives it a set of 16 inch BBS RS alloy wheels and a Webasto TVS 900 aftermarket sunroof. On the interior you get some really posh looking leather seats that somehow look rather heavily padded and promises to be really comfortable. A nice Realm Audio aftermarket audio system is installed too.

If you notice, the Honda Fit looks less like a cute bulbous little thing in US. This is due to their crash test standards which usually call for larger bumpers, making the Fit look longer and more grown up than our version.

Look after the jump for more shots of the SEMA Fits.

    only a bodykit. when are they going to introduce some serious power upgrades for this little thing? the previous jazz/fit had a version by Mugen called the Dynamite – with a K20A plonked in, pushing out 260ps!

    with those speakers in the boot, the whole purpose of this car – versatility and practicality is gone

    Nice!, love the red one~
    But the interior of the blue little car doesn’t sound fit with this small jazz.
