I'm trying to eliminate the ugly panel gaps on my white insight.... I find the gaps to be very large and intrusive to the overall look of the vehicle... I also hope the functionality of the insulation is to eliminate some wind noise of the vehicle...
I did the easiest which is already covered by a black rubber seal...

Walmart has silicone outdoor insulation that is white. Its slightly off white and matches my paint perfectly for a rubberized compound. It's silicone too so it'll stay flexible in the winter and also is a great material for resisting UV yellowing and road salts/oils...

The installer I worked with did a good job and I’m thinking about going back to him.
If you aren’t satisfied with the color (and...
What is the correct part number for touch up paint for the black parts? I'm not sure if the black trim on the side mirrors is glossy or flat, or exactly what black paint I need. Thank you.
I have driven Honda automobiles exclusively since purchasing my first Civic in 1988. I have always been impressed with the fit and finish of their vehicles. My new Insight is the first Honda vehicle I have been disappointed in. The back left hand door does not line up properly and the dealer...
