Body Panel Allignment Problems

hiphopaddict · 05-17-2007, 02:06 AM

I don't have any pics yet, but I'll take some and repost when I get a chance. I would like to know how many of you here at 8th have mis-alligned body panels. My 2007 Si looks like a bunch of monkey's put it together.

My hood was misalligned from day one. I have kicked myself many times for taking delivery. I've tried all different heights of the hood adjustments, and after much debate, I've finally settled on the least crooked setup (It still sticks up and is not perfectly alligned). It sort of looks like the hood is unlatched.

I recently noticed that my driver's side front fender does not match up with the door like the passanger's sides does (There is a gap), and that there is a gap where the left side of the trunk meets the rear fender (by the left tail-light.)

I checked out a couple of Ex coupes recently and their body panels all looked perfect. No gaps, etc. I love the car so much I'm actually debating trading it for another '07 Si. In Taffetta White or another more neutral color.

My 06 LX sedan luckily only has 1 rear door slightly misaligned. When you look in the side mirror from the drivers side, the rear door is offset and the body lines don't match up at all.

Just recently got my 07 TW sedan and when I took delivery everything was in line just fine. Have just started to notice drivers side door starting to stick out further then the rear door of drivers side. The passenger side of the car is aligned perfectly. Not a very happy camper and I dont even have a dealership to return to for svc just yet(long story of getting completely F'ed by purchasing/closest dealership)

My front bumper was off a bit. I just loosened the bolts a bit, pushed it back in place and tightened everything up. Looks perfect now. But yeah the gap fitting is not great. They barely look at the gaps coming out of the factory so now you know why.

My rear driver and passenger side panels arent flush with the rear bumper =X

My bumper is misaligned. I just keep lagging on bringing it in to the dealer. This seems to be a common issue with the 8th gen

It's really not that nocicable. I doubt anyone but me notices it...

Damn monkeys working at those factories...can't even screw on a panel right...lol

trickyazn · 06-17-2007, 04:35 AM

my rear seat top airbags arnt flush with its surroundings.. like as if its been poked at and the sides bent out.

I gotta take my FG2 to Honda monday to have the rear bumper re-aligned. There's a huge hump directly below the license plate, they think it's a clip that isn't installed properly.

07 sedan I bought and I noticed that my passanger side fender sticks out from where it meets the front pass door..looks like sht and I amd gonna take it in to get re-done.. I tried fixing it myself but it looks the same.

My 06 LX (Canadian built) has the driver rear door slightly misaligned, luckily very minor compared to others.

When I drive and look at my side mirror, i can see the offset in the mirror very clearly.

Duce2k · 06-21-2007, 07:19 PM

My right side front fender is a bit loose, the lower part on the door side, so it isn't lined up with the door, the driver's side doesnt move if I push it with my hand but the passenger side does so I know it shouldn't be that way, when i take it in for my 1st service I'll point that out to them

06CivEXJon · 06-21-2007, 10:02 PM

My taillights are also uneven but other then that the exterior is fine well the headlights have some gaps where the bumper and fender meet. Where is quality control at? i swear there are retards working at the Allison,Ontario Canada plant that don't know WTF they are doing.

My driver-side door is flush at the center, but gradually sticks out some toward the top, unlike the passenger-side. The trunk-lid is noticably crooked - can fit my pinky in the gap on the left side, but no pinky on the right.

I mentioned the trunk lid alignment when I went in to the dealership for my first oil change. The service manager had the trunk open and was pushing it from one side repeatedly, trying to bend it back. Didn't help much, but the attempt was appreciated :)
