Was that a hit and run? There's a used Accord sitting on milk crates at my local dealers lot from someone wanting these rims

Wow, the double whammy

Sorry about the streak of bad luck. Hopefully you get the latest accident settled without too much hassle.

Is it repairable? What is the estimated damage on it?

State Farm covered the repairs, minus the deductible. The body shop did a great repair job - looked like new - but…

I had already been thinking about trading it for a base model, so the Sport got traded pretty quickly for a 2012. White again.

Feels like starting over again!

There were newspaper articles about the GD3 sport wheels being ripped off right and left before the GE models were even being sold here... I decided a long time ago that I'd been better off with a base model Fit... I saw one the same color (SSM) as mine yesterday and I felt like kicking myself... The second generation base models look even better.

Check the forums there's dozens of people who got their Fit wheels stolen.

Yeah they are. Even though thieves can get around them, they might think twice and move on to the next one.


OP, yah it seems some bad juju on your first Fit, but congrats on your brand new 2012!
