Question 1

What is Honda Grace PH x Worldwide?

Accepted Answer

Honda Grace PH x Worldwide was established in November 2019 by founder Vernie Pablo, with platform development by Christopher Ramos, uniting Honda City and Grace builders under the motto 'Audere est Facere'.

Established on November 2019 by founder Vernie Pablo, ホンダグレイス (Honda Grace) Philippines commenced the birth of Honda Grace in the Philippines. The founder's infamous pioneer car led the Honda City GM6 community to follow its path, evolving GM4–GM6 Honda Grace builds to be era-correct and authentic. The website and digital tools are engineered by Web Developer Christopher Ramos (@toperramos23).

Our official identity is grounded in our heritage:

* Subtitle / Tagline: *"Japanese Infused. Manila Build.™"* (Our build subtitle and design philosophy celebrating Philippine craftsmanship and JDM engineering)

Question 5

Can Philippine Honda City GM6 owners join, or is the club strictly for JDM Honda Grace?

Accepted Answer

Philippine Honda City GM6 owners are the backbone of our community! The club welcomes both factory ASEAN Honda City models and authentic JDM Grace imports.

You do not need an imported Japanese Honda Grace to join!

In Japan, Honda named this subcompact sedan the Grace (chassis GM4 Hybrid, GM5 4WD Hybrid, GM6 LX Petrol, GM9 4WD Petrol). In the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, and India, Honda produced and sold the exact same core chassis under the legendary Honda City nameplate (GM6, 2014–2020).

Because the chassis, suspension points, glass, roof line, and bulk of the mechanicals are shared, our community celebrates both:
* Stock and lightly modified daily-driven Philippine Honda City GM6 models (1.5 E, 1.5 VX, 1.5 VX+ Navi, 1.5 Sport).
* Philippine City builds carrying authentic JDM Grace OEM+ exterior/interior conversions.
* Imported Japanese Honda Grace hybrids and rare petrol variants across the globe.

Question 6

What are the club rules and community conduct standards?

Accepted Answer

Zero street racing during club meets, respectful treatment of all builds regardless of budget, no rev-bombing at public venues, and positive camaraderie.

To protect the reputation of the club and keep every member safe, we enforce strict community guidelines:

* Zero Street Racing / Reckless Driving: We do not tolerate street racing, reckless cut-ins, or endangering public motorists during club convoys or meet arrivals. Track days and sanctioned drag events are the only venues for competitive speed.
* Respect Every Build: Whether a member drives a bone-stock daily commuter with steel wheels or a show-winning Mugen-converted hybrid on forged Volk wheels, all members are treated with equal respect. Elitism is strictly forbidden.
* Venue Courtesy: No burnout attempts, unnecessary rev-bombing, or loud sound system blasting at meet parking lots (gas stations, coffee shops, public parks). Always leave venues cleaner than we found them.
* Helpful Forum Engagement: Provide constructive technical advice. Never insult another member's troubleshooting questions or aesthetic choices.

Question 7

Where can I get official Honda Grace PH decals, badges, and merch?

Accepted Answer

Official die-cut decals and limited merchandise runs are distributed during official club meets and announced through our verified social media channels.

Official club merchandise is curated exclusively for genuine community members:

* Official Meet Decals: High-grade outdoor UV-reflective cut stickers are brought by club officers to scheduled meets. Attending your first meet is the fastest way to get stickered!
* Online Merch Drops: Club shirts, caps, and lanyards are released in limited batches. Announcements are posted in the /forum and across our official Instagram and Facebook pages.
* Beware of Unauthorized Replicas: We urge members to only display authentic stickers received directly through club administrators to maintain the authentic club look and avoid substandard vinyl that ruins rear windshield defogger lines.
