I do have a solution for you, however the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 referenced in your question is not confirmed to fit your 2013 Honda Fit Sport. There is actually not a trunk-mounted bike rack available that will work with your Sport model Honda Fit. It looks like the Sport model features a slightly different rear design and spoiler that prevents a trunk-mount option from safely attaching to the vehicle.

Your best option for transporting bikes with your Honda Fit Sport is with a trailer hitch and hitch-mounted carrier. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11064. This custom hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference.

Then when choosing a hitch-mounted bike rack, you will just need to make sure it is compatible with Class I trailer hitches. Also note that the most bikes a Class I hitch can safely handle is 2.

I really like the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR. This Class I compatible rack features ratcheting hooks that will hold your bikes by the wheels with no frame contact and a foot pedal that will let you tilt the carrier back for easy rear cargo access on your Honda Fit. It can support 2 bikes of up to 40 pounds each.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this bike rack so you can get a closer look at all of its features. I have also included a link that will take you to our available selection of Class I compatible racks that you can look through.
