Picked up cleaning supplies, temporary mats, and a steering wheel cover at Autobacs. As expected, the issue is mostly just anywhere the driver touched repeatedly. 80-90% of the RS interior is actually in excellent condition, and the backseat is practically new. I couldn’t vacuum because my apartment door is way too far away. Shit weather, and cold, so no outside washing and waxing today.
WHEELS
The passenger side shows very little use. This person definitely drove this car for a one person-operation. And yeah, almost certainly some kind of delivery driver or handyman with tool bar. The driver’s side wear is essentially only on the one side. Otherwise actually, even the driver’s side seat is in good condition. The door side bolsters need cleaning and should be stitched up, but honestly, they’re good comfortable seats. And they’re RS specific (as is the entirety of the car) red stitching is rather prominent. But not on the steering wheel, it’s plain old vinyl, but you can get the thin leather wrap kit off Amazon. I’ve put a temporary cover on it until I get it.

You’re starting to make me (once again) consider trying to get RS parts onto my Fit. It’s too bad there’s not much to do about the engine.

Yeah, other than that one bolster on the driver’s seat, the car appears to be in overall very nice condition!

Glad to see you posting often again Kat! :)
The Fit is looking good! I REALLY wish we had an accessible,
popular, cheap car parts shop like Super Autobacs or Upgarage here...

Well, now I have something to post!
UpGarage is where I got most of my stuff for the Logo, some of which was saved and will go in the Fit. Most notably, those sweet sweet DC5 Recaros.

It is. Exterior is in great condition except for the roof, but my automatcher said he has a shop which will redo the paint. Otherwise, it just needs a wash and a wax. Even by Japanese standards, $2129 is a good, good deal. Mostly because it was FILTHY and it needs all the regular stuff replaced (spark plugs, coil packs, filters). The dealer was like, “yeah, we could do it and sell it for more, but not worth our time.” Works for me!

Would they redo the roof in black instead of body colour if you asked? Not sure how well that’d work on dark blue but it’s nice on lighter cars.
Hmm

Will you get the side bolster fixed on this? I know you’re going to put the Recarros in, just curious. I guess what I’m asking is will.you keep the RS specific seats in case you ever sell this vehicle down the road

Yeah. I have a closet I use as my “garage. ” They’ll go in there and come out if the car is sold.
