Civic underbody Underbody complaint

Nathan · 07-14-2006, 02:11 AM

Anyone notice the underbody of the civic is a little flimsy? Just today I had to tighten a screw down on my front left fender so the from plastic wheel piece and front bumper would allign correctly.

The plastic molding around the wheel area is held together by plastic screws and the plastic appears to be popping out and changing forms.

I love my car, but the plastic underbody seems kinda cheap.

Anyone agree?

Thanks

those fender liners and such have a wide tolerance as far as fitment.

they never line up perfectly and some cars even have a gap of more than
6-7mm. seems like it's just the way they are.
