totally bitchin'!!!!!!!!! I just bought my wife an '09 Pilot and am still waiting for my Fit, and was lamenting her moonroof and not having one available on the Fit, but I think you have shown me the light, SUNlight! (okay, bad joke) The best part is there is a dealer linked to the sunroof manufacturer about 1/2 mile from my house! I was looking at some of the other cars they have done and they, while not MY style, were absof*&^ingloutely gorgeous! I will have to pay them a visit SOON.

 

Will do. The wife had all the windows tinted for Baby Daddy Day as well, so it's sporting a new look.

 

Just purchased a 2008 Fit Sport Auto in BOM on 6/17/08. I had black leather interior installed thru the dealer and they did a really good job. Color is a very nice match for the interior. It looks awesome with the BOM exterior too.

 

dealers can do leather? How much was it?

 

Yeah- most dealers can. Mine was outsourced to a company that the dealer uses, but they told me they have done them on site at the dealership as well for aftermarket. They were quick-only took about 2 days.
Mine cost about $1400, but I've heard of some getting it done for about $1200. The leather I'm told is better quality than what comes from the factory. It was something I really wanted so it was worth it to me.

 

that's awesome dude. I dunno if I should get Mugen seatcovers or the dealer leather...both are pretty sweet, and similar price..

 

Its a personal preference more than anything. Also, with the Mugens, your door panels will still be stock fabric.
With a full leather interior installation, the door panels match the seats which I prefer. Just something to consider. I've seen the Mugen ones tho. They're nice too.

 

damn now i want a sunroof

 

God that shot makes the car look expensive as hell. I need me some window visors.

Honestly the Fit is my first personal car and I really want to keep it forever. Even if I don't ride it anymore in the future, I just want to keep it because my dad got it for me. Leather seats and the sunroof are things I can totally see me doing in the future, as those two are literally the most important features when my dad looks for his own car. :]

 

i had to wash a fit with a custom sunroof (sorry for crappy cell phone pics)




is it me or is that sunroof huge??

 

Hahahaha you sure it wasn't an Odyssey?

 

lol if it was i would had a burnout contest with my other coworkers hahah

 

the sunroof's HOT

 

I am gonna ask my dealer about full interior leather tomorrow. Quality, price, etc. Wonder if they can stitch some red into it, like, the seams maybe?

 

We just bought our 08 Fit at a dealership in California. The dealer had someone come out from the Bay Area (Hayward I think he said) and they put a complete black leather finish inside the Fit. The stitching was purple too (to match the Blackberry Pearl color). A very nice job, whoever did it. I paid through the nose for it (dealer installed option $2K) but it's worth every penny. I'll try to get some nice pictures of it and upload. Be kind, its my very first post on the board I'm a newb -- Fit owner for exactly 2 days.

 

welcome to the boards! You'll learn a helluvalot here, and I can't wait to see pics of the leather!

 

Thanks... lets try this: I hope you can see the detailing on the leather.

 

WOW that's sweet! I'd definitely get that with red stitching over the Mugen covers....jeez I need to win the lottery lol

 

sorry to bump this old thread.


It's great to know that many others have done leather in their Fit's. Looks like Katzkin is a good way to go. I will probably be doing this in the future, and after reading this thread I think doing the sunroof, and the leather at the same time, from the same installer might save me some $$$.

Great thread!

 

Did they tell you how the sun roof will affect the integrity of the car. It's gotta weaken the car. Did they add some reinforcement beamsin the roof?
