Whew! Glad they worked this time. I'm usually not that inept with my computer...

As I said earlier, I'm super stoked about the leather, and the car in general. Thanks for the compliments.

The dealer sticker on the leather was $1900. But in the end, they gave it to me for $1400. This is well worth it in my book.

Hrm, not bad.

I think I'll spend that money on a nice suspension setup instead.

Holy Mary, Mother of pearl!! Those leather seats are SICK!!! I'm so wanting to do that, but, alas, the practical side of me won't let me spend the money.

Thank you all for the compliments! I've now been in her for a full week. I have to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car! Everything about it.

The stitching of the seats matches the color of the car better in the real than in the pictures, BTW. At first I didn't like the contrasting stitching when I saw it on the showroom floor. Once around the car and I decided, however that I HAD to have it!

This was the most disappointing part of the Fit to me--the mailable bumpers have a lot of rubber in them so they "give" more to rocks than the paint does, usually causing it to get way more chips than say, FRP or more stiff plastic bumpers found on more expensive cars. Add the cheap paint and it's not a good combination. That said, it's still a great car in many ways, congratulations on your purchase!

Definitely get the clear bra, and stay 20FT+ back from other cars.
