ya thats a common problem..... mine does it alittle but ive neber done anything about it....

to fix it its preaty easy.... use some clear silicone and pull off that liscence plate trim panel... and around every opening about 1-2inches from the outside and put a bead all around.... this way when ya put it back on and tighten it all up the silicone doesnt get SQUIZED out and look crapy on the outside
same way on the taillights......

only problem would be if ya had to remove your taillights... youd have to work em off.LOL but that liscence plate trim i dotn know WHY its thier...

or you could also use some thick foam tape around the taillights and such...
see problem is the stock foam is just been smashed so long it just wont seal anymore...
you could TRY a new seal/gasket from honda.... or just use some thicker stuff....
