Think it will Fit?
 
I want something new and original for my 04 civic....and since there is lack of kits for my civic..ive begun looking at cars and measuring to see what type of front i could use that would almost fit a civics front..and my quest has led me to this front.. look at the lines and the way the bumper goes on.. i think with "little" modification..i could make this fit my front very easily..what do u think? Opinions please..

i hope your experienced in body work and fabrication because believe me that will be alot harder than it appears.
what measurements have you taken because that car seems less wide than the civic a lil, and plus that bumper isnt much different than the one u got (if thats ur civic) but personally i dont care for either.
best bet is buy it and cut it right under the headlights like where it starts to go from angled out to down......... like right above the different lines of the bumper, once u did that rivet it onto the existing bumper (which youve trimmed lower part off) then youll slightly grind down rivets and cover it all with bondo to mesh the bumpers seamlessly then use putty to make it look perfect. thats the right way to do it because getting into fabricating and customising plastic like your talking about is way too difficult especially since it might be really cheap stuff

I think that looks dope!

i like the last one, but man that is a big job for a shop to do. Just take it somewhere that knows how to do it.

HondaGuy12 04-20-2005 10:37 PM

yeah im just wanting to be different..or ill just wait till that new aero design comes out from accolade...

whoa.......... whos sedan is that with the boss front bumper? that shit is nice..... i dont think thats a member here.

chrisleecool 04-22-2005 02:31 AM

It is unique..but i wouldn't bother to do it...it's gonna be a lot of work too
If I could go back...I would've kept my car "OEM" / "JDM" nothing fancy..

Of course not, the car in the pics is an 04+ Mitsu Lancer.

Even kits that are designed for our cars can be a HUGE workload for it to fit. The problem with that kit on the 1st blue car is that the grill is too big.... there is more room between those headlights then our headlights. I'm sure it'll be a good chunk of work for it to fit.... might as well go for a front end conversion because a lot of custom fab will be required.

I know what you should do and what i was thinkin of doing is a C-west front conversion, but thats just me, as for those other kits, no comment.

eye_see_you 04-22-2005 07:16 AM

going for that aggresive look I like it

yeah technically that is the bomex kit for the 04-05's..it just called the boss also..

Akutenshi 04-23-2005 04:48 AM

er so it was modded?

dont u mean its the other way around..... technically its the boss kit. but since its a replica of the bomex, everyone refers to it as the bomex kit

DaRk_MauL 04-23-2005 05:02 AM

bomex doesnt excist for the 04-05 only boss makes those front bumpers!
Sorry asahi hondaguy is right but it looks the same so
I got the bomex and had it modifided to fit on my 04!the way you know this
is take a look at the gril!

DaRk_MauL 04-23-2005 05:11 AM

oh btw its gonna be some work!!i only had to adjust around the headlight!it took
a while especialy to get it perfect to fit.But you need to do the side of the bumper too!

grtz

ncirom2003 04-23-2005 10:35 AM

ragingSPAM 04-23-2005 06:09 PM

for some reason i think the boss kit looks better than the bomex because of the grill...but the grill in the bomex kit looks tyte...i dunno what i would do but hey its not my car its my bros
