Type R Front Sedan Bumper?

Black Wolf · 06-22-2008, 12:51 AM

Will the Type R bumper bolt right up to our USA Civic Sedans?

Thanks

that pic is of a kit not a type R, type r front will bolt on but you will need lights, fenders, and i think the hood

yep you'll need to do the whole jdm fd2 front end conversion

Koji from japanautoparts told me that is the Type R bumper with a lip kit on it.

I plan on keeping my headlight assembly because I personally like the looks of ours better and they have an extra piece I circled in red that fills the gap.

He just wasn't sure if it would directly bolt up to our American Civic.

Have you guys changed out the bumpers yourselves or know someone who has?

Thanks again.

^^ Well that's clever, saves a lot of money on not having to buy new headlights. I likey

Some real company should make the Type R body kit for the FA5. I am sure that many people will buy it as well as me.

Someone does make one. I can't remember the company, though. When Undispu7ed gets on, I'll ask him for the link again. I beleive it's like $1200 before paint. I wanted to buy the front bumper and they were being such pricks about charging an insane amount just for one piece that I didn't get it.

oh this one is not the KY one right?

Black Wolf · 06-22-2008, 02:49 PM

This is the one offered by KY. Similar but not the same and I haven't heard good things about KY's customer service, paint quality or shipping quality.

Nope, diff company. I thought for sure it was procivic.com because I remember the kit came w/ some kind of financing plan, but I couldn't find it on there. Def a nice looking kit, but I was turned away by the fact that the front bumper alone was about half the cost of the whole kit and cost more to ship just that one piece rather than the whole thing. I realize they want people to buy the entire kit, but I'd rather buy it in sections so I don't get hit with a $1200 bill at once, ya know?

They don't paint the stuff they sell overseas anymore and I thought their shipping was fine. My spoiler was fiberglass so it did come with a few chips, but their bodykits are some sort of plastic so I don't really see a prob happening with those in transit.
