Ripples / Waves on shock towers
Anyone else ever experience this. Ill try to get a pic of what im talking about if im not explaining myself right. anyway it seems to get a lil worse over time. Car has never been wrecked it maybe have to do with the cheap ebay coilover spring rates im not sure

i have this on my 92si, but my 94ex doesn't have them, If you look in the app/cosmetic forum and look at engine bay shots you will see this on some but not all civics

how low is your car? mine used to be dumped and the paint is busted off where my upper control arms used to slam int the bottom of the towers when i hit bumps hard.
