Loving the Fit so far, thanks to FitFreak.net

Got my Milano Red '09 Sport MT last night. Thanks to a month or two of reading this forum ahead of time, I was able to determine which accessories I wanted and have them ordered and on hand before taking delivery. Pretty basic stuff so far -- interesting CocoMats instead of the usual carpet or all-season, cargo mat from Elemmat.com, stainless door sill trim, body side molding, and FormFit hood deflector from Zeta. Also (from Bernardi) the cargo cover, door edge film, rear bumper applique, and armrest/comsole. Check out the pics here and see what you think of the CocoMats and the Zeta body side molding.

(Someday I will figure out how to post the pics in the message like everyone else does.)

Couldn't have done it without all the great information available on this site. (For example, I did NOT drop the bolt under the carpet when installing the armrest!) Thanks to you all.

BTW, it's telling me that I'm getting 46.5 mpg so far -- I'm guessing that's a little optimistic even though I am driving in a very "stately" manner.

Welcome! I'm also new, but lurked around here for a good while when I was doing my research.

The mats go really well with the Milano Red. Now you have me wanting the console armrest!

Congrats and welcome to the forums.

To post pictures you can right click the image and select the "view image" option. Upon doing so you cut/copy the line, then you click this icon in the message box for your post, and then paste the link and click ok.

Thanks folks! I like everything about the Fit, including all the accessories so far. I did get a couple small bubbles in the door edge film -- on the last door that I was installing it on! The other 3 went on perfectly. I guess I just got a little complacent with the last one.

The cocomats fit very nicely. They said they were custom made for the '09 Fit. Here's a couple pics (if I did it right):

They really stay put, too, I was worried, but because they are an exact fit, they don't move around. Lemme try again on teh pics:
