your under carriage looks too clean, it should have a messy layer of black tar like coating to prevent corrosion....

We have been underneath my car a few times ( 1. for the exhaust 2. to install the Quiafe LSD, as well as brakes etc.)

I have not seen these issues with car either!! ( insert confused face here)

Where is your undercoating? Whenever I'm underneath my car on a warm day I always seem to get some of that black crap on me. I would have thought that after owning it for two years that it would have dried by now.

See, that's kinda what i was thinking too! It just looked like it was missing something. I know I had it on my old Integra... When i get home from work i'll look again to see if this is the case for the rest of the underbody. It shouldn't be a big deal, but still makes me curious.

now I know what that plastic thing on your calipers are. they probably did not detail it well when you bought it and the plastic wrap is the one they use to cover the rotors and prevent it from rusting and the dealer just probably drove it without taking it out.

Please tell me that is not an 06 model. Where do you live with so much rust. get something on that rust before it eats the whole car.

I have a good bit of chips on my car. You need to purchase some touch up paint and cover the chip before it rusts so bad.
I usually inspect for new chips every time I wash the car.
