It is not a bolt-on for sure. However, I setup my goals to keep modifications to the minimum and return to stock as I wish. So I bought 4 wire hangers from Home Depot and bolted them to the floor. Then bolted seats to them. I also custom made brackets for the front of the seats. Airbags is PnP as well as safety belts.

I would call it pure luck Big Mike, The thing bounced off the hood of the car in front of me, luckily it did not go thru their windshield. I could not avoid running over it or I would have caused other cars to be involved.

Soob that's why my mother always taught me to have an extra one of everything if possible. I try to include money in that theory but it jus' doesn't work out for some reason.

Dangit J, aren't those some nice comfy and classy seats. I'd love to plop my butt down in those before driving away.

Oh yeah those ergomeds are pricey. They're pretty heavy too if weight is a concern. Once you have a recaro you won't be able to live with a lesser seat though.

I had one other unique mod I didn't have a picture of. I blacked out my rear diffuser with truck bed liner then decided to do the aero side pieces as well. They actually come off of the bumper so it was easy to make a nice line.

Thanks Vinny. It's textured. The texture is almost an exact match to the honda bumper applique.

Sorry about your other set of rims. The chrome rims you have on now look real nice with the dark Fit! What color Fit you have, is it the Blackberry?
I've been thinking of getting chrome rims on my CBP. Looks good.

With all the options and style's available it's impossible for me to pick the right one. I definitely have to speak with a sales rep to have them point me in the right direction. All I want is the climate (cooling fans & heat), airbag & the black leather wrapped (w/red stitching). I don't really "need" the other options like power adjustment, but it seems they come with them anyway. Adjustable lumbar is nice too.
