I won't argue that! While it's fun to contemplate doing that mod, it's the kind of thing that's *way* down the list of priorities (especially for the budget).
That said, I could say the same thing about folks that drop a grand into a sound system. It's not the kind of thing that I'm that interested in, but hey - their car, their money, their fun!

Those are just OEM JDM Fit RS parts. That's cool if it bolts on fairly easily without messing with parking brake cables or anything like that. I bet the price will go down significantly as time passes, or you could look for other ways to import the assembly.
I mean, if this is truly way down the list on things to do, I think it will get much cheaper as parts become more available.

They were helpful, with a really quick response to my email. I'd like to do this sometime in the future, especially since it's a Honda system.

I did exactly this. They do not have instructions, but the PB cable is included. They forgot it on the site. It's an OEM Honda cable for this application.

Resurrecting to discuss something I stumbled on last night. Unique Power International, a Taiwanese company that specializes in DRUM IN ROTOR brake conversions. They make pieces that retain the drum e-brake functionality, and then a rotor bolts over top. Rotor looks a little thin, but otherwise everything looks solid. I sent an email and they let me know the kit is currently out of stock, but cost is $600 USD with $150 to ship to me in Ohio. I sent a follow up asking questions about service (i.e. are caliper and brake pads something I can replace easily from a standard model, how much for spare rotors, etc).
Here's the video I stumbled on:
