The other day I looked the car all over for badging to make sure I hadn't bought another Dodge by mistake.
There was a period from 1960-1965 when I was responsible for the purchase of 4 Pontiac Tempests ... a 4 cyl 4spd 4bbl coupe; a 326 V8 coupe; a 3-2bbl 4 spd GTO coupe; and a 326 V8 AT 4 door sedan (parents). None of them had a front bumper hung on straight.

Hopefully your dealer can fix up your car. Otherwise contact Honda US and see if they can help. There are videos online for taking off the bumper, so preventing the sagging should be pretty easy to remedy.

Yes, but they were Pontiacs.

I stopped by my dealer today and asked my salesperson about the keychain Fit. He was completely unaware, but asked around and found someone in Parts who remembered a small box of them coming in (which promptly disappeared - the parts person got one for herself, though!). Apparently it's a promo item that's up to the individual dealer to purchase (or not) to give out. They had none. [sad trombone]

I'm glad that i wasn't left out! I was considering e-mailing the dealer and mentioning this thread, but alas, I received the key-chain this week!
The nice thing is that I have a yellow Fit, so it matches.

I bought the car in January 2015, and had my first oil change at the dealer the last week of July 2015. I also went to the dealer back in Feb-Mar 2015 for some cosmetic warranty issues.

I want one of these. I do need to go in for an oil change soon, so I'm hoping.

Go ahead and ask. The worst they can say is "no". I've yet go in for service, but I emailed the salesman to get me one ... less than a week later small box arrived in the mail with an ever smaller yellow Fit (1/64 scale)..

I got mine 8 weeks after my first service and it had a note thanking me for going to the dealer for service so I'm sure that's when most will get one. I did register on Honda.com.

Received mine in the mail. Total surprise. I haven't been back to the dealer for any reason (not due for service yet) since purchase. Not sure exactly how I got one, but I'm glad I did.

I don't want one unless it comes in Passion Berry Pearl, only the greatest color in the history of the automotive world!

To paraphrase Henry Ford, "You can have any color you want, as long as it's Minion Yellow."

Was going to paint mine red, but the Testor's model paint smears (tested on the black bottom).

I haven't gotten the mini Fit yet, but I did get a Honda microfiber wipe in the mail.
