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

pbfoot 06-14-2005 05:11 PM

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!

blouisgod 06-14-2005 05:27 PM

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.

Nodnero 06-14-2005 05:33 PM

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.

Wolfgang5884 06-14-2005 05:37 PM

I'd rather go OEM kit, but I think it would look nice

paradoxblue 06-14-2005 06:05 PM

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 :(

ciVictoria 06-14-2005 07:10 PM

IMO I'm not really liking the new front the car would look cleaner with an OEM kit or something thing less extreme.

matt_s 06-14-2005 07:12 PM

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.

JCiv03 06-14-2005 07:16 PM

Before you spend money on paint, you should definately test fit that sucker.

Rennen 06-14-2005 07:20 PM

^yup

HondaGuy12 06-14-2005 07:49 PM

paradoxblue 06-14-2005 08:29 PM

bOoStEd042dr 06-14-2005 08:35 PM

do you have a whole kit or just bumper?

scatman 06-14-2005 08:36 PM

i like it....but get the rest of it too (sides, rear)

Rennen 06-14-2005 09:53 PM

i think that its gonna look really good

paradoxblue 06-14-2005 10:02 PM

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

paradoxblue 06-14-2005 10:04 PM

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!!!!!

ajhdragon 06-14-2005 10:09 PM

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.

its fiberglass right? oh no.. highway driving + fiberglass front = no no.. i learned that the hard way.. hit alot of debris in the road and bam ur new bumper is done.. happened to me with my 99 eclipse.. i hope you know how to aviod the highway and use the backroads..

YUL 06-15-2005 02:35 PM

....looks like a snow plow...

TeRRoRiFiC35 06-15-2005 03:02 PM

it gonna look dumb without sides n rear

slicksivik 06-15-2005 04:47 PM

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.

modoman 06-15-2005 04:55 PM

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.
