Any suggestions to this problem would be great. I know the HPI bodies don't line up, but I thought the protoform bodies were supposed to fit nicely.
I don't have experience with the civc body specifically, but the protoform bodies I have tried all fit perfectly. It sounds to me like you may need to shave off some material from your front bumper. This is pretty standard procedure, there are a lot of bodies out there that requires you to take some foam material of the bumper to make it fit. I hope you did not cut the holes for the body posts yet...
