The Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket - 41-1/2" Long x 37" Wide x 4" Deep - 150 lbs, part # C18115, is designed to attach to a roof rack. The roof rack is not included. My recommended roof rack for your 2008 Honda Fit will consist of the following items:
Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System (QTY 2), part # Y00408
BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR
RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers - Qty 4, part # Y03536
BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 4, part # Y06143
Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 4), part # Y07204
This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. I prefer the Yakima system because it has two adjustments other roof racks do not have, toe and pitch. These two adjustments help to provide a better fit for the Yakima roof rack. I included the Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores so you can lock your roof rack to your vehicle.
I have included product description links and video demo links below.
