Has anyone used certifit parts? i am looking to do a 04-05 front end conversion on my 2002 civic and it seems like their parts are the cheapest. I was wondering if thier parts will be a perfect fit or will my car look like crap and nothing would line up?

Yeah, not perfect. Haven't had good luck with their body panels but, the mirrors work just fine.

I'm using a bumper from certifit. It fit wonderfully.
The main issue you'll run in to is fenders. But that is any aftermarket panel.

The entire front of my 02 is SortaFit, including the full core support... The parts all fit but you will be doing additional grinding and fill work. I will admit that the 03 Hybrid bumper fit up really nice with very little grinding (plastic trim from the mold process). The fenders however have been an absolute nightmare! I actually had to trim and remold the fenders to keep them from rubbing the doors. The arch of the factory fenders is more extreme. The plastic they use on the bumpers is also a very different grade than OE and is far harder to prep for paint, if its not done just right the primer will not adhere. All-in-all if your willing to put the extra time in to make the parts fit the price is well worth it, if you lack the know how then hit the wrecking yard for OE stuff instead.

I have seen three of this bumpers no fenders or hoods so dont know. One was really good but if you looked really close you could see some imperfections.

The other was not that great really big gaps where they meet with the headlights not good.

And the last one was horrible we had to heat it up to mold it and then decided not to install it.

There so cheap you could take the gamble.

Thanks for all the info.... Well i am on a budget so I'd rather not take the chances if they will not fit properly. Where could I get some OE ones. It seems that the junkyards around my house don't even have any em2's. I'm really trying to do this right the first time because I will also change the color of my car.
