got bumper in.. what do you think? 1 Attachment(s) ok so i got in in a week or so ago. and have yet to install it. looks a little warped.. :S but im not sure. sigh. i guess tehres people round here that can mount it but i need to have it painted. what am i looking at for prices do you guys figure? what do you think?: http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/at...id=55606&stc=1 |
i dont really like the look of the "fins" at the sides up front. it doesnt look like it should stick out further than the middle of the bumper. |
OEM kit owns |
kit looks ok. get rid of the pinstripes and the chrome washer nozzles. and dont put that front on until you have some side skirts and a rear lip/bumper. having that on the front and nothing on the rest of the body is gonna look dumb, plus gonna cost more to install and paint it all separately. |

I think that style kit only looks good on supras, eclipses, and this new blitz style is ok for civics. but i like it in general. just not on the 7th gens, only the 7.5 gens! |
the bomex kit looks good on the 01-03s - not sure about the 04+. its prolly warped and is going to require lots and lots of fiberglass to get it to mold...good luck. |
If its urethane (which I doubt) than you wouldnt really have to worry about flex since it would flex back. But if its fiberglass, good luck with that. |
I'd rather go OEM kit, but I think it would look nice |
every 7thgen in my town ahs the oem kit our dealer had a sale or some BS.. so i did not want that also my front bumper is pretty smashed up. its hidden by the new bumper bu tyeah so im goign to jsut have it installed for now and see about the rest. sigh.. ****ing body shops :( |
IMO I'm not really liking the new front the car would look cleaner with an OEM kit or something thing less extreme. |
i personally love that bumper ... but like one of the posts said above.. its prolly warped cause its fiberglass and that will prolly cost u more money to install. |
Before you spend money on paint, you should definately test fit that sucker. |
^yup |
finally a 04 fiji with this..go get it on and painted..i want to see how this will look..; |
yes i do to.. im being told 600cdn to paint and isntall.. hope thats all it costs me :D yay |
do you have a whole kit or just bumper? |
i like it....but get the rest of it too (sides, rear) |
i think that its gonna look really good |
i plan to get the sides/rear asap im getting paid more. but my stock front is broken and high way driving is making it spread more im afraid ill be doing a buck 20 on the highways and have the front of my car ripped off when the wind get sin there :| eeps |
oh and if i think its ow ill drop my mud flaps on it.. wont be hot but will look a bit smoother then nothing on my sides. but i thought of putting the xenon sides/rear on with this. but may jsut stick witht he full kit as nothing is really as agressive as this front :S helpw ut should ig et? oh and abs sides/rear would be nice!!!!! |
i like it, it'll look hot to bad you didn't live around here or i would be more than glad to help out over a few beers and a pizza or something. but i like the look keep us updated. |

....looks like a snow plow... |
it gonna look dumb without sides n rear |
urethane owns, i have a urethane tsunami and i do lots of highway driving, 5 days a week to be exact there and back, like an hour on the highway and man do bugs and debris suck ass. they will mess that front bumper up real quick. i got it painted a few monthes ago and its startign to not be perfect. i had dead buggies. oh well. its fine now tho. if it was fiberglass, i dunno if it would be ok now. i hate bug who hit it and just stick in the urethane haha. |
got my front bumper painted for $150. shitty job tho, paint is peeling off the front because those dumbasses dont know how to prep urethane. |
