One of the underbody panels on my Insight has a strange dimple. It does not look aerodynamic at all.
From 2012 onwards Honda mounts a flush dimpleless panel...

I covered the dimple with some thick plastic foil and glued and taped it with duct tape about a year ago.
The tape on the front has withered and I had to tear the remnants off.
Duct tape won't last forever.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
