I believe Honda put it there for a reason. That stuff looks like tar.

good thread. i am just concerned with "smoothing" out the excess on top. it looks like waves of mud on there. i already got some off with my sander and it looks way better. i may end up filling it later. lets see once i am done sanding. thanks
