It would be nice if they did, but I doubt they will. I was hoping Mugen would make parts for the US Civic Si too, but that probably won't happen either. Maybe in the future they will start offering parts for US-spec cars since they are becoming even more different now from other markets, but in the past they have not done so.

If they do, and i'm sure they will eventually, then they would be distributed through www.kingmotorsports.com , who is the only and sole provider for authentic mugen parts, atleast they are the only one who mugen actually deals through in the U.S.

Doubt that they will.
With Honda US expecting only 35,000 units to be sold in the first year, what percent of those would be modded. Next, take that number and what percent of that would you expect to actually buy REAL Mugen parts???
Like everything else, it all comes down to $$$.
PS, i've never had a problem with King. I've emailed them a few times and even called them and Scott has been very fast and helpful.

I also have never had any problem with buying parts from King Motorsports yet.

I really do not think so. There will not be a large enough market for it unless the price is very reasonable... Wait we aren't talking about Mugen...

In a response email from Kingmotorsports(responded the next day)
"Thank you for your email. We plan a complete development program with the Fit. I would guess that parts will become available by mid summer. Once we get close to releasing these parts we will announce it on the news section of our website."
something to look out for.........

the body kits would be cool, but another question, do you think Mugen decide to sell the Super Charger? If so will it also be for the USDM market?

Mugen Fit Component Availability
The new Honda Fit is starting to hit dealerships and there is a lot of interest from new owners about Mugen part availability. We are currently in the process of test fitting Japanese parts on the US model. When this process is complete we will list all of the applicable products on the site. Check back in early June for details.
