Door moldings $170

The parts department in Tijuana was surprised at the prices themselves and they would also have to order the parts to get in about a month. So my guess is they are importing them from elsewhere. Sorry guys, I'm bummed too. I guess I'll hold out till they bring them stateside.

Overall First Impression: Being a JDM armrest, the quality is spectacular and matches the interior. I can't understand why Honda Canada or Honda USA would think that Fit owners would not want to buy this option. Those vendors who can bring this into Canada and US will sell a ton of these IMO!

Or is the center console a universal one that is suitable for both?
It looks to me that the console is specifit to whether the driving is left hand drive or right hand drive.
Just wondering what you told them specifically and if you have a part number.
Thanks.

The console appears to be a universal one as the the ledge beside the hand brake is still on the right side, which is the same as the NA OEM. One might have expected to see this on the left side for UK cars.
I might still have the part # at home, but that won't be until later today.

That would be very helpful.
Yes, the ledge is what threw me off. I would have expected it to be switched for UK cars, but apparently it is not switched.
Thanks.
