It's a brand new vehicle design.

This creates a waiting game. There aren't many customers for parts like this yet and it costs money to design and produce them. Most of the aftermarket is waiting for one of their peers to invest the money in designing a part. Then they will have something to copy and perhaps improve on. It's a situation where it is better to be second (or third) to market than first.

Right I can agree to that, guess I was used to so many parts for my gd that I didn't have this problem, but like ya said it's a waiting game, I'm seeing plenty of exterior stuff but anything engine wise is slow to going, the gk has so much potential

It took a long time for the GE version to get much aftermarket stuff. Face it, these are not hot rods, and the market for such stuff on GK's is small. Most owners leave them alone.

YES! There's a prototype of one I saw a pic of. What company, I am not allowed to say and I can't give ANY details of it (I promised to keep quiet). It's coming!

I'm only saying enough to get the enthusiasm and the 'juices flowing'. That's all for now.

Oh, no I haven't ordered anything. Just waiting for things to be available to order I meant. Especially seeing things on Yahoo Auctions Japan or Minkara. I'm trying to avoid putting cheap Ebay parts on my car so waiting for the good stuff is hard.

If you see any cheap ebay parts for our Fits (2015), please post up a link. If no link here, send me a PM if you can. I'm interested in seeing what intake designs are coming out.
