What did you do to the GD Fit today?

Yours is slightly different than the eBay one I got but yeah, an armrest was a huge upgrade I didn't realize I'd like so much.

It looks like there are 2-3 different variations of them. This one is larger than the other ones I saw. It has 3 levels of storage, larger cup holder and an ash tray that no one will ever use. It’s the best thing I’ve bought for it yet. Now do a dead pedal. Even if o have to make one.

So I decided to unclutter my dash a bit and get rid of the gauge pod. Was able to move the gauges with a single-din adapter plate and put in a single-din radio with flip up screen. The first question I get asked is "what about the AC/Heat coming from the vents?".. Well the radio still functions normally with the screen closed, and I use the AC/heat so little that it's not that big a deal. So far I'm happy with the results..

Does it hold up well to hard pressure?
I use the dead pedal to hold myself in position in spirited cornering, and the lack of dead pedal is one thing that I'm surprised was missed by the engineers (and by how much I miss having one).
Thinking to just buy Weathertech Digital Fit mats, then tape/glue/insert a metal plate behind it...

This is what I need to do, and I have been looking around for something to make like this. Thanks for the pics!!

I custom "fit" a Jeep Wrangler dead pedal in the Fit today, and it came out excellent! Sturdy and I think it looks pretty decent. I just couldn't take not having anything there. It was uncomfortable, and a knee killer...

I probably won't go full-Wrangler mode (how much did that cost, btw?), but your pic gives me hope that I can lodge a piece of metal under the Weathertech floorliner and have that hold things in place.

The pedal was only $16 off Amazon. I will add stock pictures as to pretty much how I installed it. I wish I took pics as I put it in, but it was 90 degrees and ridiculous humid, I just wanted to be done with it.
This is not my car, but almost exactly how I have it bolted in. The larger part has to be cut off.
I used (4) 1/4" hex head heavy duty self tappers.

I'm looking at covers for it to make it more of a "fit" for the Fit. If I do I will post it. I just wanted a pedal there, it was making me insane having nothing. My Sedona has a huge rest in it, and I use it 99% of the time. Then I got in the fit and was always like WTF Honda!!!!

Ended up breaking the Spoon rear view mirror after some spider annoyed me for a 30 mile trip. Bastard sat upside down on my driver's visor most of the drive and was well within jumping distance of my face. Took both out with a fly swatter... Oh well...
Ordering replacement Monday and more than likely another Spoon radiator cap for the GD and maybe the CR-Z.
