Whats more important? Looks or Speed?
Ok I'll bite... Very broad question. Don't know what you expect to get from this post. To each their own. Personally I go for function before looks... Hey, just me.
You like car shows, go for looks. You like track, go for fast. You like tinkering, build what you want. Worst is slapping on stuff you don't have a clue of what they're for, put it on but never use it for the purpose, can't handle what it does or don't know why you did it in the first place. :-)
It's your Fit... Freak.. lol (just thought they rhymed...)

Both.
Also a comfy Fit with a nice ride. A versatile Fit that can haul all of my stuff. And a high MPG Fit that allows me to smirk at the gas pump.
Put it all together and I get to comfortably haul myself and my gear quickly while looking good and saving money.

Does that mean I shouldn't drive over 100 MPH on curvy back roads unless my car looks good even though it feels really good to me? The car passed the state inspection with all kinds of tools, parts, trash and wiring on the floor and the console removed... The guy that did the inspection was laughing about how much faster it is now than it had been last year.. I reminded him that he said the same thing the last time he inspected it.

If you like how it looks, sounds, feels, you'll drive it like it should be driven.
That is one of my favorites too... When they first went on sale they sold for just under $4000... They had real bad cooling problems and the "Prince of Darkness" Lucas Electrics was a curse on anything British that had wires and switches...Question. Why do the British drink warm beer?? Answer. Lucas makes their refrigerators
Everyone should own an old British car or motorcycle at some point during their life... I would wait until I had a shit load of money, tools and roadside assistance policy... The old BSA 441 Victor motorcycle was the least trouble and the Austin Healey 100-4 was a true sports car especially with the windshield in the down position.... I think the 100-4 revved to 4800 RPM.
Owning British sports cars and motorcycles are very much like having a relationship with a woman you share a very passionate love life with but makes your life a living hell the rest of the time.
There is a commercial for Hondas I have seen quite often lately and the Fit in it is the prettiest car in it... My Fit is actually pretty fast.. Even without all of the performance parts and sweat invested I enjoyed driving my Fit.
