You just bought a RHD plate. Won't work in your Fit.

Looks like the AC + defroster buttons won't work with that cover.

I do quite a bit of custom fabrication using Fiberglass. I'm hoping to at least get a rough template to use, so maybe not all is lost.

yeah, and besides that, you need the frame also which we will be taking preorders for soon. So we can make one trip down to mexico a month and pick up a bunch.

Please count me in for all of the radio stuff. I'd also be interested in a center console with armrest if you are considering bringing back those also.

Yeah, we're bringing the arm rests and the OEM window visors and door sill plates.

Brazil has the LHD plate also. Looks like a perfect match.

so when is somebody going to work on getting these for us? I've already purchased a 2-DIN Pioneer AVIC Z1 that's ready to go.

Here's mine but it's for RHD......





UK kit comes complete with brackets and aerial convertor too. I paid £65 (approx US$120) in the UK.

My guess for why we don't get it is because small cars in Europe are what most people drive with no plans to get anything else. So they make them nice and comfortable.

Over here in USA it's all about upsale. They want to get you into an tiny uncomfortable Fit today, and then convince you to upgrade to a civic/accord/acura with leather seats when you wear it out.

Since there wasn't any update I went ahead and ordered mine directly from a dealership in Mexico.

Should have it in a few days.
