Eventually I would like to get some custom made seat covers probably the CoverKing Neoprene ones from Costco but meanwhile wondered if there were any all in one seat covers (for front buckets) that might fit the Fit half way reasonable and say less then $50. I tried on a $25 pair from Autozone and it was way too big and baggy. I would prefer something that doesn't try to cover the head rest.

 

try wal-mart... they will prolly have some cheapo something.....

 

YOu need to be careful that the side airbags are not covered by the Seat covers. The custom ones account for this and have an open for the airbag to comeout from the side.

 

yep. itd suck to save a few $'s but die in an accident :P

 

And remember the lever at the top makes it easier to move the front seat when you're laying the back seat down. I bought a set from advance auto that fit just fine but in the end I folded the seat back into the crack and just have the seat bottom in place.
So if you want to save some more money and not interfere with the airbags or the lever, just get some seat bottom covers.

 

Forgive my ignorance as this is the first car I've owned with side airbags, but the airbags come out of the seats themselves and not the side panel of the car?

 

If you look at the seat it has oblong plastic piece on the side of each seat. So you have to keep that area clear. If you look on the internet
there are a couple of sites that sale covers for the Fit
