Old Guy here, 60, with Tricked out 2007 Fit Sport, Skunk 2 exhaust, Lowering Springs, Pillar guages, and Fujita Cold Air with AEM Filter.
Just bought a new 2009 Fit Sport, and got some Fit Mats, and a rear Cargo Cover.
just a little observation. The Floor mats and rear cargo Cover were easy to install on the 2007, HOWEVER, the cargo cover on the 2009 requires locating and Drilling 5 holes on the back of the back seats for some funky snaps, that hardly serve any purpose, and even worse, the driver's side floor mat requires that you get a Knife, and cut away part of the rubber mat AND Slit the Carpet behind the rubber mat to install some Plastic thing that locks the floor mat into position.
At best it is a terrible design and NOT up to typical Honda standards what so ever. I find it very hard to believe that Honda would not pre-install something for both items, and not require drilling or cutting up a brand new car.
I am dissappointed in Honda this time . It's not major but if the trend continues this is not a good sign.

I get what you are saying on that and I have installed the floor mats. Wasn't that big of a deal to me to cut the slits and it felt as though Honda designed the carpet to be cut there. It is better than a lot of cars that I have owned which don't even give instructions on where or how to cut for the mats. They just expect the mats to sit there and not move, lol. I personally think that all fits should come with the mats at least pre-installed unless ordered otherwise by the customer.
