2018 FIT Sport

Hi to all.
Just picked up a white 2018 FIT Sport last week and all info that has actually made sense has led me here. I have yet to see any others on the road and was curious to see if anyone else here had one yet? I'm working my way from the SRT scene so the platform is completely new to me. Interested to find out more as parts release and get some feedback as to where I can even find parts for this thing. Haha. Most websites don't even have a section for 2018 yet.

I ended up getting it in the 6-speed manual transmission. Gotta love how it's almost 2k cheaper for stick from the dealership. And as far as pictures I will be sure to post some in a little while. I'm actually headed to the car wash here in a minute, and I'll be test fitting some new wheels. Hopefully the photos won't have stock wheels in them. Haha.

Yeaa it's a sport. Has the ugly chrome badge on the back. They added a lip with an orange accent line and a diffuser in the rear with the same orange accent. The skirts might be a little different too.

New Fit Sport

I pesonally am not not crazy about the black wheels, but it looks good otherwise; I'm not sure how the orange stripe would work with other colors, though. Is that Cutlass your other car??

Well I've tried twice to add pictures with the new wheels but they aren't being approved. I felt the same about the black.

The wheels I ended up putting on it are white. Not sure how I feel about the white on white either, but you're right. That orange stripe messes up quite a few color options. You can see the new wheels on my profile. For whatever reason it won't let me post any more than the three original photos on this thread.

Maybe not quite the right offset either? Those look to be +40 or less. I'm betting there would be rubbing with the correct size tire or lowering.

LOL, you always know just what to say.

It came off bad, didn't it? Not what I wanted, but I'm concerned that fixing that gap may make it worse by adding tire contact with the car.
