So... I've got some cheap (WalMart) vinyl mats in my Fit... I've looked at a couple of the "custom car mat" sites but they don't show the Fit yet. Anyone know of a source? I would like to go with a 1-piece "runner style" in the rear.

 

I definately have no idea on this one...

 

I got the custom mats but I was appalled at the idea of cutting into the insulation mat to install them. Besides what seems like an inordinate amount of work and vague, lengthy instructions, I wasn't sure I wanted to tack the mats down that firmly (and the plastic clips look kind of tacky). Sandy dirt is a constant cleanup problem and I'd rather be able to lift the mats easily to vacuum under them. They don't seem to move even without the clips. I've had two Hondas (Civic and Accord) that came with mats, and they weren't clipped or tacked down. Is this just another money-making scheme?

 

FondaFit -- you say custom mats ... from an alternate source or are you talking about Honda accessories? Where did you get your custom mats from and what was the $$?

 

Sorry -- I confused the issue. These are the Honda accessory mats, which I got from Bernardiparts.com. The original question came up before anyone had much in the way of Fit accessories. Now I'm wondering if I'd have been better off getting the all weather mats -- that is, if there aren't any clips for them and no cutting required. Using an exacto knife to cut into the insulation mat doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

 

Best mats out there are the WeatherTech Classics from MacNeil -- www.weathertech.com. The Fit mats aren't out yet, but keep an eye on the site for them as I'm sure they'll have them in the near future. I had them in my xB and they fit awsome and were practically bomb-proof. The carpet stayed absolutely pristine with them.

 

So... some time has gone by since the last post. I know that a couple of NA companies are starting to SAY that they have custom "Fit" mats (not WeatherTech as far as I know). Has anyone actually purchased and installed from one of these sources? Not interested in Honda-brand due to price... I already have cut up a set of "plain jane" mats that are working okay for now but I would like to get some heavy duty custom mats when they become available.
