Body kit... spray with rubberized/black undercoating (mask well first).... or just don't worry about... It's the pinch weld. it's what holds the car together and it's where your factory jack goes when you're changing a tire.

There is a whole lot of other crap I would touch up before I screw with that... We painted all the rear cat back flat back (except for the tips of course) to hide the mufflers and y pipe. Same for the front grill area.

You might just be hyper sensitive to it since it bugs you and you know its there. Id wager 99.9% of anybody you asked, wouldnt see it and wouldnt have a problem with it if they did.

I'd say you'd have to be sleeping on the ground to see those! :p Hell, I have issues seeing stuff under my highlander, unless if I get on the ground.

I like that kit. Subtle and clean. What brand is it? I wonder if a sedan version exists... maybe that's asking too much, haha.

i might be wrong but im pretty sure that its just the hfp lip kit from honda. unfortunately they dont make one for the sedan to my knowledge so you would have to find an aftermarket one
