No problems here as well, seems like in the reer lower portion, they added a single dot of paint to act as a spacer, but it seems crushed onto the body. I know the first thing I'll be doing is loosening up the panel a bit.
Guys, indicate your purchase date, we may be able to find some consistancy here. July 5th 2006 here.
Ill call Honda monday and head to the dealer after that.
Ah crap.. That is exactly where they dabbed a spot of paint to act as a spacer. I think it is being crushed to the panel and so it starts to crack throughout.
For those who have not had the problem yet, I would recommend removing the panel and grabbing some clear nail polish polish and going over that "dot of paint" a few times to prevent it from further damage. Let the nail polish be the buffer rather than the actual paint iself.
I hope this isnt misread as covering the entire gap while the panel is attached.
I bought mines 100 miles away.. any dealership can take care of the issue right? or do u have to go back to the one u bought from? I notice that on one of the corner there seems to be a dab of excess paint that is starting to peel..
Here's my giant question which i do not see addressed yet.. Asumming that they re-paint it.. what if it happens again? You can repaint it all u want.. but it will happen again in another 1000 miles..
go get it done again then?
Since mines isn't too bad yet.. i might just loosen the nuts.. how loose do you loosen it? my bumper isn;t gonna fall off will it? lol
okay, i called HOnda and told them the whole situation and gave them this direct discussion web site, hopefully their upper management will do something quick to retify the problem before it get out of hand (like developing spider cracks!!! ) I took mine into the dealership and they couldn't solve it on the spot...they said they need to schedule mine car for the Honda inspector to have have a look since they'll need to repaint the whole bumper and I'm like the first person to complaint about the paint...so I urge everyone to speak up NOW and make the issue heard NOW at dealership level and at Honda...and any temp fixes like losening the bumper won't help in the long run if the paint wasn't applied correctly in the first place...eventually they will flake off!!!

You guys know how to ruin a Monday morning. Just went out and looked, my VBP is peeling on two corners, one front, one rear. I'll post a couple of pictures when I get home to help with the on-line documentation.
Dealer took a look at it and the service manager said they'll do whatever they need to get it fixed. So, I'm dropping it off there next Wednesday for them to do the body work. I'm hoping they'll do both front and rear bumpers to be safe. It'll be done Thursday evening and I'll have a free loaner during that time as well.
