Rep Power: 0 Bought a 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe...let the re-build begin!!
Hello! I just purchased a 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe. It is the charcoal gray color with black cloth interior, and an automatic transmission. The unfortunate thing is that I bought it from a girl that must have been a moron. She bought the car new, and then proceeded to slowly damage random parts. So now I need to find a front and rear bumper cover, passenger side power mirror, and passenger side tail lamp assembly. Other than that, some services need done (I just put on new brake pads today), and then it should be ready for the road! Having a hard time finding used parts, which surprised me, but I have time. We are Honda people and have owned, and currently still own, many of the Honda / Acura product range. Anyway...just wanted to say 'hello'. Have a great day!

Welcome!
Yeah...it's always a shame when car owner's don't care about their car and trash it like that. hopefully it will get some loving care in your hands. I have an '05 so I can say that the '04 is just as nice of a car! Good buy! I envy you for your black interior, I have an ugly brown/tan combo :P

Thanks! I will get some pictures. As of right now I am just attempting to gather all the parts I need to make it look top shelf again. It is amazing how hard it is to find body parts for this car on the used market.

Needs some parts love....but here it is.
If anyone knows where I can get a used bumper cover for the front or rear, or a passenger side power mirror (preferably in the same color as my car), I would greatly appreciate it, and pay a finder's fee.

I have an original passenger side civic ex side view power window. Its silver so it won't match but its genuine Honda and is exactly what you have on the drivers side. Great condition. Lmk if you want more info. It will be near impossible to find an exact match

Buy an unpainted bumper cover for the front and rear on ebay, theyre like 65 bucks a piece iirc and have them painted at a local body shop. I would check craigslist and car-part.com for the mirror and tail light.

I just bought a front bumper from ebay it was $67 and cost $212 to paint, me and a buddy installed it in less than an hour. was a piece of cake. just remember which clips go where. I would suggest putting them back in the hole part of the way if you can. oh and i have seen people selling M3 mirrors for like $50 on craigslist. i browse all over the country to see what people are selling
