Brand new 2013 Honda Civic Coupe LX - PLEASE help
 
Bought a 2013 Honda Civic Coupe LX (black) on Friday July 12th and when I was cleaning the floor mat (drivers side) during my break at work today I noticed the exposed insulation and lack of plastic cover covering the joint/accelator... or is there one? I never would have looked down there before purchasing the car... I mean the pictures make it look worse than it is but it's above where the carpet ends obviously. Should there not be a plastic cover? I emailed my salesman and the lead sales manager. Lead sales manager responded and said he doesn't see what's wrong. Avoided answering if all their Civics look like this. My next step is going down to the dealership again IN PERSON and actually looking at this area of the other new Civic Coupe's in the lot. I'm so frustrated. Wanted to come here to see if anyone elses is like mine or if I really am missing something.


Pics from level where I first noticed (cleaning floor mat; it's high up there but I still caught it and it doesn't look right to me):

Contacted LEAD sales manager and he didn't see what was wrong after I sent him these pics; he sent me this blurry pic trying to show me another is like mine:

So I need to know, IS THIS NORMAL!? I'm about to go across town to the other Honda dealership and pose as a buyer just to look in new Civic Coupes on the lot like mine.

that's normal with honda and most other cars. you have to remember this is a honda not a mercedes.

Appreciate the response; does anyone actually own this car that they can take a look at theirs and compare to mine?

my 02 civic, 07 fit, appears to look the same. My mom's 08 civic appears the same.
