6th Gen Accord Coupe Back Bumper.
I have 2002 Accord coupe and I need to replace back bumper.
However, my friend has 2000 bumper but Im not sure it will fit or not.
I know there are 2 types of 6th gen accord, 98-00 and 01-02.
I just want to double check before I pickup the parts.

Re: 6th Gen Accord Coupe Back Bumper.
The 2000 Bumper cover can be mounted onto your 2002.
However, there may be 2 slight differences you may have to deal with.
License plate wiring and side bumper light wiring.
I looked on V-6-P and could not find any specific method to dealing with it...
But, a few of us have done it because we want to mount up the OEM lip kit and it was only made for 98-00. So, in order to make it fit better, we change out the rear bumper covers.

Re: 6th Gen Accord Coupe Back Bumper.
Some problems I've noticed with my 2002 Accord 2.3L 4cyl... 1st personal-The tranny started messing up? around 75k. Like it would stay in a gear for a second after it changed gears...? Whatever, warranty covered it. 2nd. I think that was under warranty too. Idle control Valve (ICV) would run at a low rpm and be struggling sometimes when stopped to that it'd almost shut the engine off, that only happened once tho and I think in my garage cuz I was revin it to see. I'm now at 121,000k and it's been doing it every now and then but its not a problem, doesnt mess with the driving and it's rare. So whatever. So that's a recurring problem for MY Accord.
Now on many Accords MANY on 2002 I see water has gotten into the read break lights, including mine, no technical problems with it but cosmetic (for now), the water takes off the silver paint in the rear brake light box...Can't really notice unless you look. We'd notice. Lol. Thats not been recalled and so many have that problem, strange.
Oh yeah, an Airbag recall I think it twas in 2010, if not 2010 def. 2009. They took care of that well. As with the tranny. Gas isn't good for a 4cyl 2.3L!! 23 Hwy/St. 30 Hwy. I never drive just street si I dunno bout that, I live in Los Angeles. I actually think it's too big of a car for such a small engine, it feels heavy unless it's in D3,lol. If they wanted to do a V4 at least put a bigger engine, I dunno. At least 2.5!! Just wanted to inform ppl because I see ppl posting regarding these things, so yes they happen.
