8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Quality of the Body finish on the 8th gen

I've had a 5th gen Civic EX and the finish quality was very good.

On my new 8th gen Si coupe I've notice that the finish quality isn't as so good as the 5th gen. I was washing my car today and a piece of paint that was dangling from the bottom (In front below the rear right wheel) broke off. It looked like a little blue fang of some sort. Overall the undercarriage where the welding or bonding was done seems rather sloppy. It is all bumpy and what not.

I am sure other coupes have the same issue since I recall reading all Si coupes come from the same plant in Canada.

It would be a shame for Honda to start slipping in quality.
