EDM i-VTEC Rear Window Decal & Sports Steering Wheel

Does anyone have the i-VTEC rear window decal in the States? I found an old ebay posting with the part number listed 75717-SNB-E01. It looks like LingsHondaparts.com (a UK site) might possibly sell them for $14.48 plus shipping.

If anyone has this and knows a US site to get these from please share. Thanks.

Ok guys, I bought it from LingsHondaparts.com. It was superquick shipping. I got a little nervous when the UPS tracking said something about customs, but it came through just fine. Also, at first my credit card company denied the transaction, but I called the credit card company and got it worked out. I got the i-vtech decal and the Leather Sports Steering Wheel. Installed the steering wheel with the supplied instructions and it took less than an hour. Shipping was £25.00. I can honestly say that the steering wheel feels awesome. The steering wheel looks a lot like the one that baz_atl got back in 08 , but the UKDM one has the regular black stitching (the same as ours) and the Japanese one looks like it has gray stitching.

Update: UPS sent me a bill for duties they paid on my behalf. I had to pay an extra 14.18 to UPS. The i-vtec sticker had no fees, but the steering wheel was charged a 2.5% duty + a brokerage fee. I'm not complaining though. I love my steering wheel.

When they sent me my center console bits they listed them on the customs declaration as being salesmans samples, which avoided any duty. But it was a small box- something large enough to hold the wheel would probably make them look at it twice....
BTW thanx for the link to Lings!

What,You crazy ? Paying $14 for a small lousy vinyl sticker. I have 2, I VTEC much larger on rear door corner that I paid $7 for the pair at a local sign shop. Showed them the graphic, they duplicated the font style on the computer and had it punched out in 10 minutes while I waited. Choice of 25 colors if I wanted. I have ballpark quote on a "Ferrari In Training" sticker in the Ferrari font & gold color for $12 I plan to place just under the rear hatch FIT badge. Next time you want a sticker check a good local sign shop. Some have computer based operating systems that can duplicate most anything on the web including full body wrap vinyl advertising for just about any make of car or light truck.You did Ok on the steering wheel,but way over paid on the sticker + shipping.

I understand where you are coming from. Personally, I like to keep with Honda's styling and using the OEM decal works for me. To each is own.

Yeah, all of the Fits in the United States are dulled down a little compared to Europe's Jazz. We didn't get that i-VTEC sticker, an si model, awesome rims, and some accesories like you guys did on the Jazz. They short changed us on the Fit here. But.... (and it's a big BUT) we did get the 1.5 i-vtec engine where you guys only got the 1.4 i-vtec engine.

If the seller would have put the price on that steering wheel at less than $200 USD you wouldn't have gotten charged duties. That's rude

Anyway, post pics when installed please.
