if they do then you can tell your dealer to order it from calgary honda

I went past T&T on Wed and there was a few that just came off the truck, They took possesion of them late on Thurs. Mine was in the group, and the only manual. There were at least 3 other sports there as well, a NHBP, BOM, and a VBP. I'm sure that they were all accounted for but it might be worth checking out.

Yes, mine was the VBP manual and yes I did also have a black one ordered, I wanted to keep my options open and I would have taken whichever came in first

So guys, called up T&T today, they told me still no VIN number yet
Was getting tired of waiting so I decided to call up High River and the other dealerships in the city and..
found a NHBP sport manual at Calgary Honda!
Just sitting there, no name on it at all!

Went in right after work today and got everything set up, pick up is Saturday morning!
now i just gotta break it to my friend at T&T that i bought it somewhere else lol
think i got it for about 800 cheaper too

xdimsumx, you one lucky SOB, how long have you waited?
JDMish, glad to hear that you are finally getting yours.

I picked her up on thurs.

all I can say is, nice...

I got winter tires put on her and traded in the all seasons, so it is a little hard to test her in the turns, have to wait till next spring when I get summer rims and tires. The Toyo Garrit KX's look great and I'll let you know how they are when we get the next dump.

Nah, all the ones at T&T were auto sports, but in talking with the sales manager he said that the allocation of cars has changed, or will be changing soon and the dealerships will be able to order what they want rather than waiting for one to come in. Strange, because his is opposite to what our southern neighbors are saying about manuals.

if you guys ever need to bring your car into the dealership, make sure you tell them not to wash it for you
not sure if all dealerships are the same but i brought my fit into Calgary Honda
not even 1 week old
had to fix some minor cosmetic stuff that was wrong with the car when i picked it up (scratches, etc.)
when i came to get my car back, i noticed swirl marks all over my car from their car wash
easily seen because my car is nhbp

Another CGY Fit

Hey this thread seems dead but thought I'd post anyways, got my NHBP Sport AT 10 days ago from High River Honda, waited a month love the car. Only gripes is they installed the applique wrong and I wish they didn't paint their decal on the back of the car . Anyone know if there is a way to remove that? Thanks and see you around. Would be down for a meet to, busy at work but will come if I can.
Cheers,
N

Yeah, this thread is dead man.
Congrats though. I have no idea how to remove the decal, that's a real shame.
My applique was put on wrong too and bubbled along the edges, I'm going to have them replace it when I get a chance to go in.

that will be covered under the accessory warranty from honda. you might have to wait a couple of days for them to bring it in.
heat gun and glue remover will take care of that decal. or better yet if you are near Honda West i can get it done for you

Think I will let my T1R intake go as I have other plans for the summer. Any takers in Calgary? Brand new, only opened the box to take pictures of it...
