^^ except this is a FIT forum and this is a thread pertaining to the installation of an OEM Honda Fit roof console. That's an Accord console...
thus, you are off-topic

You're right. Im talking about JDM console installed in a Honda fit.

In post #6, aziatiklover was showing a picture of the map lights that come in a JDM HONDA FIT. Not from another car that doesn't have a console...but from a JDM Honda Fit. A Fit...as in fitfreak. The JDM variation of which, has map lights and a roof console. The implied question being "Will these fit in the USDM Fit along with the JDM Roof console"...also b17gsr later directly asked about clearance so he could install map lights.
In post #24, b17gsr is showing his installation of the JDM Honda Fit Roof Console (which this thread is actually about) along with his map lights. Which is basically the answer to the implied question.
In post #96, Hondamatic is answering someone else's questions. Someone had noticed that the Honda Element has similar map lights and wanted to know if they were, in fact, the same. Hondamatic simply stated that they were the same part #.
Now (if you look carefully enough), you can see that all of these posts which you highlighted, are in fact somehow referring to the OEM JDM Honda FIT roof console, whether it be directly (as in post #24 with pictures of the console), indirectly (as in post #6 with someone showing a piece of OEM JDM Honda Fit equipment to highlight a concern that everyone had and post #96 which is pretty directly related to post #6)
Now...if you look even more carefullyer, you can see that no one is talking about roof consoles from other cars (there was one post referring to the CL map lights having sunglasses holders, but that's map lights...not a roof console, and he ordered the wrong ones). This thread is especially not about wrongly colored roof consoles. However in posts #87 and #97, you threadjack with such an example.
If you wanted to show off how mis-colored your roof console was, you could have easily started your own thread.

OK you guys are right.
first off...just because it's JDM, and in a Honda Fit, does not mean it's a JDM Honda Fit Roof Console. If I put JDM DC2 headlights on my Fit, would it be JDM? No. It's just Rice.

Eh does anybody know where to get these roof consoles online? I cant seem to find any online vendors.
And is there only one company making them? Picking up my 07 fit Sport on saturday, cant wait to start with the mods!!

They are an OEM option in Japan (possibly other countries too). If you're willing to risk your money AJ-racing sells them, however so does japanparts.com.
If you do, go OEM. I just put mine in yesterday and I love it.
Look 2 posts above yours. Even if you just clicked into this thread on the first page and asked your are a bit clueless as this thread was made by a vendor who sells these.

I installed a Honda Odyssey overhead console on my 2009 Fit. Used the install instructions in this thread to do it. Got the console for around 35 bucks on eBay. It was so long ago, I forgot the details. Anyway, the Odyssey console is the same as the one in my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. It has bigger storage, bigger lights, and best of all, three programmable buttons for garage door openers. Homeliink or whatever it's called. It works like a charm on my Stanley door openers. I only have two garage doors, so I only use two buttons. Not sure what I can use for the thrid one.
