The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11064 is indeed a correct fit for your 2009 Honda Fit. This hitch will install without drilling using the included hardware but some trimming of part of the wheel well is needed for a secure fit. The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 that you referenced is fully compatible with this Class I hitch.

Before loading up your cargo I suggest you check your Fit owner's manual to confirm the vehicle's tongue weight capacity (the weight loaded on its frame where the hitch installs) to ensure that the combined weight of the carrier itself (30-lbs) and the weight of your loaded cargo does not exceed the vehicle's or the hitch's (200-lb) tongue weight rating. If they are rated with different capacities, then the lower rating becomes the limit for the combined system.

The Curt cargo carrier comes with a hitch pin and clip, but if you'd like to be able to lock the carrier to your hitch you can use # 2866DAT from Master Lock. You will also need the # 18050 stabilizer strap. This is required by the hitch for extra support and safety.
