im putting on my bumper right now and i've discorvered i need the metal things that hold the corner lights in place !!! what else do i need?? now i have to wait till tomorowo because acura is closed today (parts anyway)

 

you shouln't need anything else, you shouln't have even needed those cause they should have come with the bumper, bad luck i guess

 

yea i got my bumper from acura though, so i guess they wanna get money out of you by not including the most basic of things thanks

 

from the dealer! damn i hope you didnt pay the 320 they wanted? theyre's a bunch of them floating around, i got my front back bumpers and front and back lights for 350, the parts trader is a good place to find things, and if they say they cant ship it, its bull cause i just shipped a bumper through UPS for $20, just gave it a good bublewraping.

 

Shoot. If either of you guys could find be a 98+ frost white front bumper for under 200, I'll give you $20.

..Actually, I'll extend that deal to all of H-T.

 

yea i got mine for $200 exactly cuz my friend that works at the dealer and gets discounts (original is 270). i inquired with some people and they offered me like 150 but they said shipping was like 120 !

 

theres plenty of people w/rice kits around here (o-town) so i'll look around

 

ah, Thanks bud. (for every 5 bucks you get them lower, I'll give you a dollar!)

*I really think this could be a great pioneering idea for getting parts.

 

if you buy a bumper from the dealer are they pre painted?

 

Good question. With all the money I've been scammed trying to get my 98+ conversion, I might just go ahead and get it from the dealer. I waited almost 3 months for my bumper and headlights to come in from some guy on The Parts Trader. Oh well.

 

same here, ordered some parts 4 months ago and got screwed. good bye $500 snif

 

I was in the same boat as you guys. i kept hearing about all the scamming and the two people i almost bought from werent legit. that is why i went this route.

to answer your question, no the donot come painted. they come urethane gray with a DOT approved sticker next to the hood latch. they also do not bring the metal brakets needed to mount the 98 corners to (as i had to find out) but they are like $6/ea so its no biggie.

 

i got mine for $100. thats all they go for around here in cali. $100-$150

 

i got the brackets laying around from my last gsr since it got in the way of the intercooler. Ill try to find it, let me know if you need them still. Right now on my curent gsr I just use duct tape to keep the signals in.

 

you got IM
