Saw an 09 Fit sport with Leather Interior

Don't know if I missed the announcement and everyone knows about it but it was new to me.

It was an auto. Parked at Goudy Honda in Alhambra, CA.

The price of the car was 17 something.

Is it a dealer installed option?

It looked real nice/ black leather both from and back. Wow.

Going to look at the honda site to see if it's listed there.

you sure it's leather? There are vinyl seat covers that you can buy....I've seen them in and around the site, and I think they look like junk but that's just me...

It was leather. Not covers. I specifically checked for that. It was all done as an original piece, judging by the seams under the rear seats...

Did it look like any of these? There must be a couple dealers out there ordering these seats in leather and charging a premium. Wish mine were one of em'!




Of course when I think of premium...I think of these!

it's goudy.. I wouldn't be surprised if they added the leather. They have several vehicles on aftermarket parts hoping to influence some more sells. I bought my fit there and they added Lenso rims on mine :x

It's just the dealership trying to beef up a showroom car so it can be eye candy...

It's not an option

Where exactly was this Fit parked at Goudy? I live around the area and would like to take a look at it. Can you tell me the color of the Fit? Thanks

It was in front of the entrance, just facing the main street. I don't recall the color exactly, but it's either red, metallic blue, or orange. They only had several there.

They also had a 5 MT base with tinted windows at the other side of the lot. in dark blue.

Check it out. It's a sight to see. Feels comfortable to me too.

According to the thread I pulled that pic from...those are actually "unofficial mugen" seat covers which only fit JDM GE8 seats..... I know, I'm a tease! As far as I know, the only way to get something like this would be to take your car to a custom leather shop, or to wait/hope that mugen ends up offering these for the USDM GE8 at some point like they did for the GD as seen here: http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=53(they would probably be like $1000 anyway).

See this thread for more info: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...-covers-2.html

At Vic Bailey honda in spartanburg, SC they had a blue Fit Sport with a moonroof and leather interior. Both were dealer installed options. Total price was 21K. It did not have navi in it. The moonroof had split tilt too, pretty nice. But i'm not paying 3K premium for moonroof/leather.

The owner of that nice setup is member GE6-9....I just pulled that pic from another thread for refrence, it's not my car. I'm sure he would appreciate the compliment though! Stop on by his thread and check out all his other pics: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...-interior.html

If it were me, I would go for something more like this:





Or this:
