Under Spoilers?

Will any of the trim levels be getting front, side, or rear under spoilers? I must say that I think the GD and GE looked ugly without any under spoilers.

Agreed. The lack of factory ground effects makes the new Fit look kinda cheap. You'd think the 2015 EX trim would have some visual differences (beyond wheels) that would make it stand out more over the base LX. Hopefully a tasteful aftermarket kit will rectify that.

I don't know about the GD, but the GE does technically have a front under spoiler... Its the little black strip of plastic under the bumper everyone scrapes.

Its just not a racing spoiler.

And I'll be one of those that disagrees... Racing spoilers (including the Mugen lip), diy lips, winglets and such don't do it for me. I feel those make it look "cheap." Edit: sorry, I should add... Its one thing on a race car ON a track... but it's a different thing on a road car on road.

Yes, I'm aware of the black plastic under spoiler to help smooth out air flow. And yes, I agree about gaudy boy racer body kits - I'm talking about the tasteful factory bits added to a GE Sport vs the base model. A lot of us feel like the base GE really looks like more of an econo-box without those subtle touches. That visual differentiation seems to be missing in the new LX vs EX trim (besides wheels)

As someone who drives a car in the real world I'm not a fan of low-hanging aero bodywork. I hate having to worry about every driveway and curb causing damage to the plastic.

At normal speeds the aero gains one gets aren't worth the loss of utility. On a track is a different story.
