i've seen this a lot lately, and i'm wondering if its a DIY job or you can buy this? if anyone knows please help with resources

peatear01

i meant without a conversion haha

You can buy the pieces. You will need headlights, bumper, hood, and fenders.

peatear01

well i know that, but if you look closely at the picture, its not a full conversion.. it has 96-98 lights with the 99-00 bumper..

ifIexplode

Its aftermarket probably. I know theyre around somewhere. My searching didnt yeild any results yet

peatear01

haha i'll let you know i'm on a focused search :D

personally, i think the 99-00 lights are much nicer. they're smaller and have sharper lines. don't look as bug-eyed. however, i'm a big fan of the SiR look. but the picture above with the 98 lights doesn't look right.

I have seen people cutting the lower half off a 99-00 and putting it on a 96-98 upper half, but you must have body work knowledge to get it perfect

~.:JDM_EM1:.~

The bumper is called a Crower Bumper i believe. ive seen this in the honda tuning magazine

I forgot the link but they take 2 bumpers and cut them in half.
They then plastic weld or any way you want it togher.

I have never heard of a crower bumper. And a google search brings up noithing.
Are you sure you didnt see white crow?

you can buy the whole front clip minus head lights and grill for $155. from certi fit and yes its a do it yourself you can buy headlights and si grill from ebay under $100 the only thing that wont fit is two grill holes but wont affect anything done it many times looks perfect

peatear01

i think we all know that, but it'll be a little bit of unique-ness to our ride don't you think? instead of being like everyone else with the full conversion?

peatear01

dang, that was one sexy *** eg with the 99-00 si bumper...

peatear01

sounds like a lot of work, but sounds like fun, i've learned to plastic weld a bit, its a bit easier then say arc-welding :D

peatear01

thats true, but if you kept the 96-98 lights and everything else, i'd say you're unique :D

SeanK325

it is unique, but in more of a "short bus" kind of unique. lol...

to each his own, though. if you like it, go for it. It's not a bad look because it's still stock design. at least you're not trying to convince us on a body kit.

Eg8Dx

i found this link.. its on a eg.. looks sexy as fucc.

peatear01

There's three options for a similar look.

There's the J Blood front bumper. It's $650.

Then there's an aftermarket, no name bumper. It's commonly sold in Europe. It might be sold in the US too. Try eBay. If you need to get it shipped from Europe, be ready for some pricey shipping and customs fees.

Or you can cut the two bumpers apart length-wise and fit them together, '96-'98 top with a '99-'00 bottom. Probably could get pricey to get this done too.

I've got more photos of the aftermarket bumper, but I'm about to go to sleep and don't feel like uploading them right now. Anyway, they look the same as the bumper in the first post, but without a lip.
You're thinking of the White Crow bumper for '92-'95 Civics.

Searching for "crower bumper" yields only four results (one being this thread), which means it's unlikely to be real. One of the other results is a thread on JDMRides where someone mentions a "White Crower bumper", a typo. The other two are spam sites.
Maybe a bit unusual, but not unique. These bumpers are produced aftermarket.
That's a White Crow front bumper. It's not available for '96-'98 Civics.

That looks like a 96-98 Grill as well....reinforces the theory of a 96 upper and a 99 lower bumper molded together IMO.

NOFX

It'd have to be a '96-'98 grille in order to fit to the '96-'98 hood, which fits to the '96-'98 headlights. It doesn't matter who made the bumper or where it's from. In fact, if you look at all the other cars with similar parts mentioned in this thread, they all have '96-'98 hoods, grilles and fenders (the J Blood grille might be built into the bumper - it's still shaped like a '96-'98 grille though).

Either way, I already said these bumpers exist. I promise I wasn't talking out of my ***. There are homemade versions and aftermarket versions. People have been asking about these bumpers for several years now and they always get the same answers.

Here's a homemade one (I know this because the owner's brother posted these pics on another forum and stated this bumper is homemade).



And here are kits.

oh wow! those are some pretty nice rides there as well! hmmm, you (by chance) wouldn't know of the aftermarket names would you? i bet they are pretty spendy too... but thanks! i might have to touch up on my plastic welding skills...
