Yeah they would. Might be a bit pricey though. I've seen a leather upholstery kit for the Fit on eBay that didn't seem to be too badly priced. Not sure about the quality though.

You're right about the cracking, but the hot-n-sticky part has never been much of an issue for me for whatever reason. Personally, I would like to find a source that caries a fabric similar to the grey nylon mesh inserts in our factory seats, but in orange to go with my BOM exterior. I would strip the covers off the seats and take them to a local shop whose rates are pretty reasonable, and then I'd recover the door panels myself. I'll have to photoshop it first to see what it would look like. Could be one of those ideas that looks good in my head, but looks like crap in reality.

I have yet to install one in any of my cars. I read a lot of postive reviews about them, but I wonder if they work as well as some claim they do. Please post your opinions on it when you get it installed.

You might want to also do the two point ground mod while you're at it.

You could probably get the actual #'s of each color produced by year from Honda.

I have the orange, and I've only ever seen 1 other. I see black, blue and red the most.

Myself, I purchased a Milan Red. I've seen silver ones on the road, and one or two blues. Whatch'yall think?
I also have a red Fit but in Canada its referred to as Milano Red.
Is this another U.S/Canadian model difference?

No, it's just me and my stubby little fingers typo-ing.

^^^ I agree! With that, we never had a beige interior offered in Canada. I wish my TW Sport had that beige...the black shows everything!

The rarest color??? Depends what market you refer too. For here, Alabaster Silver was rare. Its a silver much like Satin Silver...which Honda has used many times on other models. AS was only here last year.

For the US, I agree....Lunar Mist would be the rare color.

i see blue and silver the most. and most recently i've been seeing more black ones. i hadn't seen a lot of black ones when i lived in costa mesa. i have only seen one bbp on the road. i see some tidewater blues and a couple lunar mists. i see bom now and then on the freeway. one color i don't see very often is milano red (other than my fiance's which i see every single day). but i'd have to say bbp and tw are the rarest in my area.

Lunar Mist I have seen 3 cars with that color in my town already. And when I search for used cars on sale I find many others too, so it not that rare here in Norway.

But my color; Black Amethyst Pearl seems very rare
I only know of three cars total in Norway and Honda Norway has confirmed that they only have taken in three so far and it seems that this color is not avaiable anymore, since the new 2009 model will have Blackberry Pearl in Norway too.

But there is one green color here in my town, I don't know the name of that color yet but I have postet pics of it on this forum before.

And on this forum I have only seen two Black Amethyst Pearl cars, mine and Suzi_q that also have this color.

In this thread there is more pictures of the cars with that color.
