So I am not sure if I am posting this in the right forum. I was jacking my 05 civic ex 2 dr to see if a set of rims would fit. When I removed the front driver tire i notice i could see through to the other side of my car. Is the a trim part missing?? Or is it meant to be like that?

i think there should be a plastic trim piece held with those black clips.

a picture would definitely help.

There is a trim piece missing, its part of that inner fender that covers the timing belt. I think its there just to protect the engine bay from dirt and water kicked up by the tires

On my 04 EX there is a small part by the springs where it's exposed and I can see through to the other side or the car.. I am pretty sure it came like that.

The pic is not the best. You can see through the car to the other side

its supposed to look like that. the plastic protective trim only covers around the outside of the tire itself. the inward part is open.
