Necessary to Reinstall Fascia on 2006 Honda Ridgeline When Installing Curt # 33328 Front Receiver

Published 12/13/2014

Question:

Hi, i recently installed a curt front mount hitch on my 2006 honda ridgeline. I removed the front underside facia and all the pushpins have to be replace. I decided to leave the fashia off because i want to be able to access the bottom of the vehicle. It doesent look like it would be a problem. I just would appreciate your opinion. THANK YOU.

For the purposes of structural rigidity or safety, there's no problem whatsoever with leaving that bit of fascia off if you wish. The fascia plays a role in how the wind is directed under the vehicle as you're driving down the road, but I doubt you'll notice any significant difference.

If you decide you want to reinstall the fascia, the plastic push fasteners are pretty inexpensive, you should be able to find them online pretty easily.
