Wait. So what do you want me to comment on? The shaved bumper, or the car? Because I don't see a shaved bumper, lol.

I dont really like it because the whole reason the old bumper works is because the opening is so wide. The new bumper its smaller but the grille is wider and the fog cutouts balance it out. Its not horrible, but it doesnt look right. The opening looks weird being so small without fog holes.

idk how I really feel about it. maybe with the right parts thrown on the car it could look good, but as is, I don't like it.

the shaved vents makes your bumper look like it's a 96-98 front bumper...

Not a fan.

You spent all that money to shave a front end, yet you rock a cheap eBay lip with a dumb sticker on it.

i think it gives it an overall sleeker look, but that lip and those wheels are not sleek so......

Im not a hater but 99-00 si front end people love those fog lights. Real talk its not noticabal for an 99-00 front untill you spec the grill ,almost fooled me 4 an 96-98 look.

Not for nothing, i've seen a lot of different things done to hondas on this site. Most one off ideas are definatly a little on the crazy side but this one isnt that. Sure its not everyones cup of tea but its definatly not crazy or ugly. People need to stop hating on something thats a little out of the norm!

first time I ever see this.

Nice color for sure, as for the shaved bumper, I think it would of looked nicer with the oem style and your lip.

Definitely original. I think if u tried swapping a 96-98 bumper it would match more because the opening is bigger. If u did that I think it would look really good. And you probably would start a trend! I think I would do it if I had a 99-00 front end.
