I bought them as accessories at the dealer's at the same time I ordered the car. If they are available in China (2 different models could be found) then there is no reason this could not be available in the Rest of the world.
I even saw grey plastic Front/Back bumper protections on European Fits in France. They are sold by Honda dealers at outrageous prices (200 USD for a full set) there but can't be found in China.
I did not want to put Generic ones as they are more than ugly, so my bumpers are naked so far and Front bumper need paint job already.
If you can't find any protection of any kind sold by Honda in the US, then it means the price Honda meant the customer to pay was much higher than the sticker.

my Fit that I bought in April 2005.
Wow. Never expected that to happen. Seems the demand is REALLY high.
Has this happened to anyone else?

What I notice, is that the Fit is devoid of the unnecessary. I have not driven the odyssey or the accord. I have driven the Civic and the Element, and loved those drives too. I don't know that I could go back to a Toyota after my Honda experience. For someone like me, a hesitant driver, the Fit is wonderfully cooperative. To the person who got a dealer call to sell his Fit, I have had no such call, and would perhaps swap for an Element if the deal was very, very sweet.

besides the nice handling characteristics, the impression i get inside the accord, odyssey, or civic (have never owned or driven a CRV or Element or other) is that control placement and number are rational, natural and logical.
right, void of the extraneous or gratuitous...

well, I broke my fibula this past weekend. I just wanted to share that having the passenger side in relax mode has been great. Although you shouldn't really drive around in that mode, it's perfect for keeping my legs elevated while my wife drives me around.

I’m 57 and ordered a Lunar Mist Base MT on January 27, 2007. The dealer said it would take 6 to 8 weeks. I called him today and he said the car didn’t even start to build which means 6 to 8 weeks from build date. I was wondering if you got your fit yet??? I purchased this for my wife, as our main car is a 2006 Pilot that I tow a boat with. The second car will replace her 86 civic wagon. We are mainly replacing the 21 year old Honda for safety reasons (no air bags, ABS etc). I gave him $500.00 down on January 27, 2007. I paid $14,445.00 plus tax. I haven’t seen the color nor dove the 5 speed but from what I read and hear the color and the 5 speed is great.
Good luck with your new fit!!

Hey Ya'll,
I've had my Fit since November '06 and totally LOVE it. But, I hardly ever see another Fit on the road. I see all the other makes that are similar to it, but no Fit buddies to wave at.
I'm in Nashville, TN. What's the deal??
Thanks,
Suzecruise

According to the NY Times a week or two ago, Honda only sold 26,000 in the US in 2006. So maybe there are 32,000 here now. That's very few Fits across a very large country.
