Am I missing a cover under the car?
Edit 8/6/2018: Regarding my 2018... Dealership is telling me that the Honda Parts system only shows the cover in question coming on the LX and Sport cars and none of the EX level will have one. I mentioned if this could be a CVT vs 6MT thing, and he said, no, his research at that moment was that LX and Sport vs EX was the deciding factor. So - my question to EX owners, does anyone have this cover? Part 12 in the picture. Slightly more curious about 2018 and 2019, since they will have the fiber looking underbody panel instead of the plastic. Thanks!

Changing the oil earlier today and happened to look back and it seemed like I could see more hoses and lines than normal. I say normal, but I have only been under this 2018 one previous time. One bracket has a small hole like it could accept a christmas tree clip or another one of those Honda pronged clips with the screw in the middle. Thanks for looking. Sorry I didn't circle anything in the picture. Basically, it's the mass of hoses going to the back. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...ce72f0c3aa.jpg |
Is that looking from the front of the car to the back? If so then yeah you're missing the plastic underbody piece that so many people loathe.

I just checked using a mirror under the car. You are missing that huge black undercover that covers everything except the catalytic converter.

The seat rails don’t have bolt head covers. I checked when I purchased my EX-L. There’s nothing on the parts diagram and none of the 6 they had in inventory had any. |

Edit: Part 16 https://www.hondapartsnow.com/parts-...nger-side.html I had totally forgot about looking up the factory parts in regard to both of these parts I have been questioning. |

Embarrassingly, I forgot how helpful the HondaPartsNow page can be when combined with the awesome FitFreaks. :)
Looks like I can walk into the dealer with confidence and explain which pieces I am missing. Part 12 in this one.... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...20d6066ede.png |

Hi Helios - I forgot about this Honda parts site when I made my original post. Now I need to go look for the panel I was questioning. :) Part 16 in this page. https://www.hondapartsnow.com/parts-...nger-side.html

It’s in the diagram but not on the list below! I didn’t realize previous years had covers. Worth a shot to see if they fit. |
The question lives on.....

Let me go take a picture of my underbody.

Thanks for looking! This is from a video I took of the underside on one of their LX cars. Seems it has no issue working with the fiber looking underbody cover. This also seems like one more piece of defense against wind or road noise. Picture is taken from behind the driver side front tire, looking straight across at the passenger side front. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fit...4d5fc4a22.jpeg |

Based on me checking through all the 2015-2018 FIT LX and EX cars on HondaPartsNow, these rules apply to the rear engine cover, the cover behind the cross member. EX: No Cover EX-L: No Cover EX-L w/Nav: No Cover LX: Yes Cover Sport: Yes Cover Sensing options do not seem to make a difference. 6MT vs CVT do not seem to make a difference. Now I am curious if there are build location differences.... I am very tempted to buy this cover in the near future. I wonder what Honda engineer would say. |
