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.

These guys are completely unresponsive and I'll most likely never be doing business with them. I expressed interest in an order for thousands of dollars in parts and they never even responded. Crap.
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.

One thing you must consider, is that Mugen is not Honda's in house tuner like you find Nismo and TRD, Mugen is just a honda tuning company that was founded by Soichiro Honda son, who is Hirotoshi Honda, so the percent of vehicle sold will never have anything to do with if Mugen will send parts to King motorsport to be sold, Honda Motor Co. has no say in the matter what so ever.
I also have never had any problem with buying parts from King Motorsports yet.
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.........
Good news, but are these going to be in house parts or official Mugen? I will pay the premium if Mugen R&D goes into these products.
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.
Well atleast we have some idea of when to expect a few parts, and i've already got my mugen Res cover, lol, however they're universal, may even fit my Lawn mower, lol.
