New Magic Board for storage area

It looks like this will fit all second-gen Fits. It folds-up from the floor into two configurations.





Installation video:
Episode #212 - 2nd Gen Honda Fit Magic Board Installation - YouTube

It's a little pricey at $250 but it might suit some folks that need to maximize the use of the storage area (when you're carrying passengers).

I think I'll pass.
It is too expensive.
And I think a little complicated for a product that's net result in function I think can be duplicated or exceeded by simply using or buying any number of numerous trunk organizer options.

If you already have a OEM cargo cover wouldn't installation of this screw up it's use?

Nah...to each his own, but I can pass.....

Don't think it will interferes with the cargo cover. The cargo cover is on top.


But it will interferes with the cargo tray.

HAHA... they recycled the stock floor board. I suppose it's "needed" since we don't have a cover for the spare tire area. Since EU Jazz don't have the spare.

But I was looking for this when I bought my Fit... hum, now I have to decide if its worth the money... and if I do, what do I do with the cargo tray I have. hum.....

Isn't that the same as the JDM Honda accessory (part # 2 below)?

Have a look at the following diagram #2 is what would be needed to have the mid shelf option.
I saw it on college hills the other day, and thought about this. Still don't see the practicality of this, especially not at that price. I guess its for small things?

the heck...it's just a tray? no thanks too cause it will just get in the way (just like the cargo cover) when my wife carries larger things like desktop pc's and stuff. if you need to carry clumsy items best to just use a box imho.

or child.

In the good old days when I had my 510 Datsun my smallest child would sleep on rear window parcel shelf and the other on the rear seat. No seat belts in those days. We all survived.

I agree too expensive & complicated to be magic. Clever, but the price is outrageous for a small amount of storage--I already have the cargo organizer & for $48 it is a bargain compare to this price.

I'll pimp what I think is a great product for the price.

I have a Trunk Organizer from Harbor Freight. It was less than $13.00 new. Two compartments, handles, snaps, folds up easily, unfolds easily and well made.

The ability to fold it down, when I don't want it is great. I'd highly recommend it, if you have a Harbor Freight in your area, OR I think they can be ordered online.

And no I don't work for them.

the practicality of it comes when you don't have a spare tire in the well. I think Euro Jazzes don't have spare tires, so they have a "double trunk," being separated by that floorboard. When you lift it into shelf mode, it gives the bottom trunk more room. That way, you can put multiple odd shape objects that wouldn't normally "stack" on top of one another... or simply stuff without crushing each other.

Milk crates, paper boxes and even cargo organizers (I bough the OE organizer) is fine for most of the other times. Which reminds me... I need to clean out my car.
