Thanks guys. I've spoken to him and he seems like a cool guy. Ive seen people using the si fog light but I've also heard the elements foglights are a direct fit. Any input?

$325 shipped to your door. he only does western union but there are a few people on here that have bought the same bumpers from him and they received them within 2 weeks

I just ordered a bumper from him. Super nice guy, knocked it down to $300 shipped for me, posted pics of the whole packing process, gave me tracking, etc. all went flawlessly. Bumper arrived within a week in great shape, packaged well via USPS International. I have to admit I was super scared to Western Union the guy money, but other people on the same group seemed happy with him so I risked it.
The only complaint I have - not really that it matters TOO much - is that these bumpers aren't OEM. They're VERY close to OEM Honda quality, but not 100%. You can tell because of the way the little detachable flaps near the fog light holes fit, and because of the slightly sloppy plastic casting marks in the more intricate parts of the grill (around where the fins are at).
Honestly not TOO big of a deal, nothing that can't be fixed with a razor blade and about 5 minutes of work, but a bigger issue might be the fact that the bumpers are black plastic, not the OEM Honda grey... so if you haven't painted your bumpers, all of your trim, etc. with some sort of bumper paint that you also plan to paint this bumper with, it's not going to match 100% since it's just black.
I took the time to clean mine up and paint it with the same dark gray bumper paint that I painted the rest of my stuff with, and it looks great... just FYI, don't expect OEM color or 100% OEM quality. That being said, this is probably the best you'll be able to do for the price considering these things are impossible to find.

Re: JDM/EDM 1st Gen CRV Front Bumper
Here's some high res pics - keep in mind I already painted this so it's the proper gray for my CRV...
In this one you can see that one of my vertical fins isn't exactly vertical...
You can see the sloppy casting removal around one of the fins here. I thought I cleaned them all up with a razor blade, but I must have missed this one. Areas like this around finer details were pretty common...
Another are where you cash see some rough edges... Typically on the OE stuff this isn't common. You can see in the bottom open area some edges that are kinda sharp, and the in the upper open area some cuts that aren't the straightest.
I took this pic in hopes that it would give you guys some idea as to what type of plastic the bumper is made of. If you've ever dealt with molded plastic parts before, this should look fairly familiar. This is the back side of the bumper by the way. The outside didn't have any of those ugly casting marks or texture variances. Just an FI - there's also no "HONDA" logo stamp on this bumper like the one posted earlier in this thread.
All of the little nit-picks aside, once the bumper is cleaned up and painted, it looks nice. I'm not going to complain at all, still well worth the money to me. I just wish my stupid fog lights would get here so I could put it on. haha

How much is the rear bumper with fogs... And do you also have the piece that covers the usdm license plate spot by the trunk handle?
