When I took delivery of MY 04 S2k noticed that the inner fender well had pieces missing in 2 places where the trim screws hold it in place. Took it to the dealer and changed it out under warranty. No problem. Said They had had a few of these happen on some other Honda models. Never saw this happen on an S, but they dont see many S2k's anyway. Washed my car 2nite and ran my sponge in the inner fender and 2 chuncks crack off in the same place! Anyone else experiencing this?

yeah my car has this too....i'm thinking it's normal wear and tear and pleasantly surprised that the dealer would fix this under warranty (it's really very little chunks of plastic that have fallen off near the bolts)......i'm not going to risk taking it to a dealership (and something worse happening) to fix this as I'm sure more chunks will break off in the future.....

Within two months, I had pieces missing from both front plastic wheel wells. This seems to be a 2004 issue. Dealer said it is wear and tear matter and not covered under warranty.

I have an '00 and the fenderwells are just fine even after removing them a couple of times. The person doing the assembly must have turned up the torque on the screwdriver. It does appear to be an '04 problem.
