Some time ago Zetaproducts.net offered a group buy on their new armrest for the 2009 Fit. It was offered at $89 including shipping which I figured to be a fair deal.

Apparently there was not much interest in the armrest and I got an email from Zeta a couple weeks ago making the offer to me right then.

I received the armrest yesterday and installed it in about 15 minutes. The quality is pretty decent. The leather top is quite good. I like that it has a lower compartment and an upper compartment. It fits into the second cup holder and is screwed in with a longer screw than the stock one that is there to hold the rear of the console.

You only need a 14mm socket, a flat and a phillips screwdriver to make the install. It is very simple to do and instructions are included. The plastic bags used to send the console and assorted components are perfect for storing the stuff you take off to save for later or whatever.

I like that it is not in the way for snapping in the seatbelt and it is perfect for my elbow and my wife to share. The leather is not "sticky" like some console lids.

All in all, I give a solid 4 stars **** to Zeta for this product. I am equally pleased with their stainless door sils.

Too bad they don't have a group buy on their dead pedal.....hint...hint!

 

09 + Honda Fit Storage Armrest - 09-FIT-N1

Any other pics besides the ones in the link?

 

I agree.. do you have pics? The bottom of it looks like crap in the picture on their website, it looks all wavy and stuff.

 

I have the zeta armrest, at first before I installed it I was a little disappointed because it seemed a little cheap. However now that it is installed I really like it. There is a lot of storage, also there is plenty of room for the passenger to share as well. Here are a couple of my pictures although they are not to good because these pics were actually more about my Clazzio seat covers which match the armrest. Things look a little grey however they are actually black

 

I'm getting those clazzio leather covers ASAP.

As for the armrest, looks nice. Anybody have more pics?

 

The seat covers look nice... How do you like the quality? Do they feel durable?
Does the set come with all 3 rear headrest covers? It's hard to tell from the pic.

Did the set also come with the armrest cover? or is that the Zeta one?

 

Those seat covers do look amazingly nice.

 

How about installation of those Clazzio covers? With that OEM look it must be a pain to do...right?

 

I think the car seat covers are amazing. They feel very durable and added extra padding to the seat as well making them more comfortable
I received front and back seat covers all 5 headrests an armrest cover which I did not use because yes that is the zeta arm rest pictured and the top of it is leather. I was not very adventurous, I ordered the black PVC sides, black perforated leather inserts with black stitching however it matches the leather steering wheel in the FIT nicely. I would buy them again in a heartbeat. The best thing I have done to my car yet.

 

I was kind of surprised that the seat covers were not harder to install, My son and I did them in about an hour and a half. Our fingers were sore at the end but over all it was not bad at all. They came with excellent detailed instructions with lots of pictures. I am really happy with these. I really struggled with keeping the old seats vacuumed up. Everyone that has seen these have all said the same thing, that they look factory.

 

That sounds great! Did you have to do any stitching? I just finished stitching a CRV OEM leather steering wheel cover, and it was tougher than I expected.

 

No stitching only stretching. Its a tight fit.

 

Sorry to ask about the seats, even though the thread is about the arm rest (which looks nice, btw).

I know you said it's a tight fit, but do they sag anywhere?

I was looking at them on jdmlinkup.com and the pictures they have of the fit make it look all saggy and loose (that's what he said?) near the top, right below the headrest, but I don't see that at all on yours. I'm seriously considering those covers, I was very bummed to learn Fits don't have an option for leather.

Thanks man.

 

No sagging that I see, there is like a cushion of air between the seat and the cover if that makes sense. So I can push on the cover and push it in some. I personally think that is what makes them feel plush and more comfortable. It does not sag. We installed them at my sons house and he paints cars, he had a chevy chevelle there that had just had a full leather upholstery job that the guy paid a couple of grand for and it was hard to tell the difference. When you do something yourself you know where the flaws are and we were being a little hyper critical I think seeing wrinkles and such once we looked at the Chevelles we quit looking at ours it was just as nice and any wrinkles we thought we saw were gone
