Yes, I know I probably overpaid for the floor mats and wheel locks. I surveyed 11 dealers, got offers from 7, and this was the best offer by over $200.
so my 16800 deal seem pretty good. dude the honda place I'm looking will charge me $190.50 for floor mat. They are charging 50 bucks to install the mat.
You can buy the mats cheaper at collegehills honda or a few other sites that are named often on this site. They are $89 for the all seasons I believe, and im sure you would be able to manage the install yourself
I got a offer at $16800 + TT&L. How good of a deal is that? What is everyone paying for the new 2009 Fit Sport AT model?
that is an awesome price!

Got mine for 17142 (dealer internet price)before all the number crunching. It ended up being 18761 when all was said and done. I am in CA if that makes any difference though.

buy the floor mats from bernadi, they are like $80 shipped. I didnt anchor mine in yet, plan to do it once the weather gets warmer here...or you could just leave them alone.

I actually talked to all the dealers in Austin. I got that offer from Gunn Honda in SA. I just brought that offer to Round Rock and I just emailed Howdy Honda to see if they can beat my current offer.
If they (or you) mess it up, it's the whole carpet that is messed up. AND the anchors are anchored to NOTHING!
That's an absolutely amazing fail. Seriously.
I mean, the given instructions with the cargo cover were terrible (I had to reference the Honda tech instructions to get the actual measurements), but the floor mat instructions were as simple as they could be. Well, a bit nerveracking, but if you followed the steps (And didn't miss the ATTENTION DONT CUT IT ALL OUT), it wasn't too bad. If you're supposed to be a tech and rush it that bad, well, I have nothing kind to say.
man what the crap? i thought you just lay down the floor mat. this kinda make me worry.
Don't worry! The instructions have to be read several times. There is a slit cut, and there is a square taken out, for each anchor. I posted a link to the pdf file that at first wasn't all that clear, to me, anyway.

Anchor has a hinge, the bottom of the anchor slides in the slit, under the carpet and appears in the cutout. Then the top part of the anchor is folded down onto the bottom part in the cutout area. That is how the anchor is attached to the floor.
And then there is a twisty knob on the mats that attaches to the anchors to keep the mat from sliding forward.
It's a cheesy solution, not nearly as sturdy as the former models, that had a hook that either screwed or snapped into the body frame.
But I bet they moved away from the hook as I bet people's dresses and trousers snagged on the hook. Either tearing their clothing or making them look really stupid or silly as they sought to exit their vehicle and instead fell on their face.
The point of the anchor is to keep the mat from sliding up under your pedals. When you hit the brakes, are you wanting just to slow down a bit, or would you really like to stop?
I know I like to stop as required. That's not the time to realize that your mat (thanks to your own feet) has wedged itself up and under your brake pedal, causing a crash.
There are a couple of crashed FIT pictures in this forum section. The rollover. And another. You can pay them $50.00 to do the carpets (right, hopefully), and be sure to check the work when done before leaving. Or you can wait for the inevitable mat wedgie under the brake pedal and total your car.
Not a toss up for me, I choose to keep the car and pay for the mat installation, even if it is a bit high. If they screw it up, they have to fix it. If I screw it up, I'll have to pay them even more money to fix it and pay for the mat anchor install anyway.
The floor mat install in the easiest install. The indention for the cut is already there, just give the instructions a once over. It took about 5 minutes.
