Aftermarket trim better than Sport model?

Im pretty much trying to decide whether its worth it to go for the Sport model with the bumper and skirts, or go for the base and just grab that stuff myself later on.

Do you guys think it would be worth it? Or would i be better off going with the Sport package.

Still researching fits, but this forums got me ready to gooooo

Id go with the sport. You get many more features. Foglights, cruise control, lip kit and spoiler.

Thank you sirrr.
Would a lip kit + bumpers usually cost more than the difference between the 2 fit models?

CanadianDriver New Car Buyers Guide Buyer’s Guide: 2010 Honda Fit

^ Link to the MSRP of Canadian Fits.

The MSRP difference is 1,900 CND between the LX and Sport. What you'll be missing out on the LX is the 16-inch alloy wheels, front and rear stabilizer bars, security system, chrome headlight bezels, chrome exhaust finisher, fog lights, underbody spoiler kit, leather-wrapped wheel, six speakers and USB jack. However, you can get the USB, fog lights, and the security system as a Honda accessory.

But back to the main question, the lip kit. You may be able to come out ahead by getting the lip kit and possibly painting it as well if you can a get good deal on a Fit and/or the kit and paint.

Just do a little searching for the kit you want, a little number crunching for the cost differences between a Sport and LX with lip kit (with paint estimate if possible), and hopefully the you can make your choice.

Sweet, thanks for the info!

Checked kits, and most of the decent ones I would want + paint really isnt worth it concidering the features id still be down.

Ima probably get a 2008 sport though, so the difference in price for used ones would be even less.
