Default EG frontbumper problems

Sorry guys i really don't know if i should post this in the COSMETICS section or in the civic section..
Please don't flame my ***.
I want some opinions.

I have the following problem.
My bumper is missing one "grill" because of my former crap greddy IC piping.
The greddy ic piping is gone...but the hole stayed :-)

I really don't know what to do..

-cut the other grill te same way
-make some sort of intake (fiber)
-put in OEM foglights
-Buy a complete new bumper . have that painted and again make the Apex IC fit

What would you guys do, and/or do you have other suggestions?


PS: my english is bad... i'm from the netherlands (europe)

You could try get some grills and put them on both sides to match, fairly inexpensive and everything will be uniform.

By the way, very nice looking coupe....
We coupe guys got to stick together!!!

Get some OEM Depo foglights and you'll have a solved problem, better lighting and a nice aesthetic upgrade .

I think it looks a lot better without the grills. Maybe I'll cut mine out too.

I don't know of the USDM civic have different grills than the EDM civic's.
Ours civic have fotnbumpers with the grills molded to them...
bumper and grills are ONE ... so getting grills to fit would be a NO GO.

I'm talking about some Grill-tech grills like I have on my civic... they are made out of metal and easy to install.

If it were up to me, I'd get some fog lights to put thre... or if you can find a car with a wrecked front then probably the "grill" section that you are missing would still be in decent shape on the wrecked car...you could prolly get it for either free or 5 bucks or something.

if you can find a very very cheap bumper, it would be worth my time to at least try getting it to fit, but if not i'd shell out the money for the foglights...

which brings up another question. do fogs look better painted or left gray/silver?

I can cut the other side and see how that looks.... if that sucks then put in the fogs.
and errr thank you for your comment... i didn't expect all the positive reactions.
I come here 4years and have seen al the flamers and haters.. always commenting other peoples cars.

I am really happy with the car... only the engine got to go... time for a Bseries-turbo setup.
