I can see through my car...

OK so this might be a stupid question... I apologize first if it is. I did some search and nothing pops up.

Anyway, so I was checking my oil this morning, then I noticed, I could see through my car and I saw the cement floor in my garage. I mean... should there be any kind of soffit panel that keeps the inside of the car dry from rain dirt or even snow. I don't mean just a tiny opening, I could see quite a bit...

Is this normal for an 04 in Canada? Should I even be worried about this? I bought my 8 from a Honda Dealer and it already came without the engine bay cover, so I don't wanna miss even more stuff on my beautiful 8.

Good thing you can see the ground. That means that when you work on it and drop something, you can just crawl under to retrieve it...and not spend the rest of the day with magnets and grappling hooks.

Must be your first car ...

open equals airflow.

Airflow equals cooling.

Any questions?
