yep, thats the plan. the honda has pretty good underfloor aero already from the factory, but yes i'll be looking to see if there are any areas that could be improved.
From the honda press blurb:
"Aerodynamic efficiency is the very basis of the Civic’s design and is crucial to achieving exceptional high-speed stability and efficiency. As well as a low drag mono-form design, th
e Civic also uses a full-length bumper-to-bumper undertray with flared leading edges to manage the flow of air under the car. Together with larger covers on the rear suspension, this undertray adds to stability, particularly when overtaking long vehicles on multi-lane roads"
Mine has something like a bodykit fitted which at the rear, seems to jut into the underfloor flow, dealer fitted honda option i believe. I either need to pull this part off (which i expect will leave holes and give me paintwork issues to resolve) or use something like that ebay diffuser to bridge the step and make it smooth.
