Damage Covering Lip

Living in the granite state, rocks are everywhere. Rushing to class I rolled over one in my driveway and cracked my bumper (see below) and I want it fixed. Instead of replacing the bumper entirely I was wondering if you guys thought the Kaminari Bumper Lip would cover it up, and if it would be an issue doing so. I would be picking up the rest of the kit also, most likely sides for the 01-03 and rear.

you can but wont you put that at risk even more cause it will be a little lower. also all that money for more scratches and cracks.

i love the lip but would suck if you damage it and out the cash too

True, but I'm moving out of these GD mountains to a city which equals better roads. What do new Honda bumpers run for? Kits look wayyy to flashy.

Thx bud (+1,) they're cheaper than the kit. If any kit manufacturer's are reading this, MAKE A LESS FLASHY BUMPER!

My car isn't lowered, the pic on the right is the Kaminari project car, I have the busted car on the left. I can only imagine what the bumper would look like if it was lowered when I hit that rock

the kaminari lip looks nice. as long as purchasing the lip kit and getting it painted fits your budget. go for it. It will cover the crack nicely

Thx for the opinions, I think it looks pretty sweet too, but they dont have a quote on the main page of http://www.kaminari.com so I dunno what it runs for. I called them and left a message but didn't get a call back... sooooo yeah. 01-03 sedan sides and rear bumper fit the 04' sedan right? Anyone know of another page that sells this lip? (Dangling a +1 here)

Took another picture of my car today, keep the opinions coming plz!
