I saw a Prius applique that's a about 10 bucks cheaper (37 dolloars shipped on one of toyota's parts site). don't know if the size is correct but fits all Priuse hatch models and looks just like the Fit's one.
Grip tape has a gritty texture isn't it? I think the real applique has a smooth texture. A smooth texture will facilitate objects sliding in and out of the trunk. Correct me if I am wrong. If grip tape can be used then it's great - only cost a few bucks each.
I believe I saw a photo recently of either the European or Japanese model Fit where they had this cloth mat in the cargo area. When you open the hatch, you can just flip it out to protect the bumper as you load things. I hope this comes to North America because it seems functional and looks better than the current bumper protection.

I've been searching the jp, au, uk, sg, and other Honda sites to see what other options are available for our Fits.
I forgot which site it was that I found a cargo tray type of protector which covers the back of the rear seats, and goes all the way to the trunk (it looks like a larger cargo tray, and covers the seatbacks too). It was a OEM Honda accessory. And would be great to protect the seatbacks, and cargo area when carrying things. That's something I really would want, hopefully it will become available in the North American market, or atleast I will be able to find a part # and order it somehow... JDM_DOHC_SiR, please help....
I actually found it easier to have my 2 dogs enter the car through the rear door w/ the seat down the entry height is real low.
I have two pitbulls that love to go places. I always have the seats down and a mat for them.
My older guy can jump into the car easily, but after walk / class etc he's lazy and stubborn and just sort of stumbles into the car, stepping all over the doorsill. Of course this scratches my paint all up (which is expected, i bought the car for them!).
I bought 3M clear bra material in Bulk Film: 6"x3' which I then cut in half lengthwise to have two 3"x3' strips for my rear doorsills. I cut an additional 4" or so off the length of each. Runs all the way from the VIN # down near the hinges.
It's a little tricky to put on, but doable. If you totally mess up, you can pull it off without hurting the paint if you decide you don't like it. I have a couple bubbles that have yet to evaporate out (says the sun helps but the doorsills never see sun). I will post a how-to thread with pictures once I decide how to remove the bubbles.

It it was yellowish color, I think your thinking of the dog cover from japan that can be used to cover the back seats and trunk when down.

Nah, I've seen that too... This is a brownish/tan color material which attaches to the rear seat backs and cargo area. Once installed you see no carpet, and its not easily foldable, and removable like the doggy tents. It's like a permanent replacement/cover.
@ Ein.. Good find with the bootlip protector. I must have missed it while browsing their site. +reps
