Nismo, Mazdaspeed, TRD, etc are not separate companies like Mugen is. While there's a close relationship, unless Honda suddenly buys Mugen I don't see them bringing any Mugen products to Honda dealers in the near future. They already tried it on a much more limited scale back in the mid 80's before all this "import tuner" crap caught on and it wasn't much of a success.
Don't forget Mugen was started by Soichiro's son. They appear to be very close...maybe we'll see some of the larger dealers carry their parts, but I doubt they'll become factory options or even OEM accessories.
