I called College Hills Honda last week to ask about shippin costs to Toronto... Just the cargo cover and all weather mats alone was $125!!!!!! If I wanted the driver's armrest with storage, it would be another $50. Even though their prices are cheaper the exorbitant shipping prices make it a deal killer. Don't forget you might even be charged duty at the border as well! We might need to wait until there are some eBay retailers with 09 fit accessories

 

yeah i just realized the shipping is killer. I'm going to say no to the accessories. But the good news is the dealer gave me the first service and locking wheel nuts. Better than nothing.

 

Those rates look like express/expedited service.

I think that UPS Standard (ground service, about 10 days) would be $35 ballpark.

However, UPS Standard incurs those nasty brokerage, bonding and customs clearance costs. Bend over and have plenty of lube...

With the cheap initial shipping rate and exorbitant extra brokerage costs, it's not much cheaper than the express service.

I wonder if College Honda would be willing to ship USPS? Should be much cheaper and the brokerage fee is fixed at $5 or $8. I had a full coilover suspension shipped from Alaska and the metered postage was $101. That package was over 50 lbs.

 

not sure but you can have a look under my hood if you want?
the hood curves look diff but it still might work.
let me know i'm close by. i belive i saw your car once. right by

I'm outside of Daytona, just south of it. Where are you? Bentwood doesn't ring a bell...
I've seen one 09 silver fit in the area...

Took a close-up pic of a DX wheel cover in the showroom today.

 

I just put a deposit down on a TW Sport MT here in vancouver. Picking it up saturday if everything goes well!

 

I know this is an old thread but I just noticed that you took a picture of the DX in tidewater blue? I thought the DX didn't come in this color? thanks

 

I was thinking of doing something with the stiff board kind of material that's also used to make pegboard. Its much lighter than plywood and has enough stiffness to hold weight and would look a whole lot better than plywood.

 

Not sure why the wheel picture above looks like Tidewater. It was taken of this Storm Silver Metallic DX in the showroom.

 

Popped into my dealership this morning since my "check fuel cap" message came up and I was worried! Note that it takes stopping/starting the car about 3 times for this to go away. ANYHOW, at the front of the dealership were parked: 2 Red DX, 1 Storm Silver DX, 1 Tidewater LX, and 1 White Sport! All lined up right at the front. In the first shipment they also got my Orange Revolution Sport and another car, which I think was a Black Sport. Wow hey? 7 2009 Fits in their very first shipment....

 

thanks for that FiveFreshFish, that makes a lot more sense
