Default EK front bumper

I'm buying an EK hatch and it needs a new front bumper... I was just going to get an OEM replacement, but I randomly came across this bumper on eBay the other day.

And having the JDM ITR front end conversion on my car, I'm sort of biased. I know it's personal opinion, but what do you guys think?

When done right...it looks SICK.

When done wrong...its a monstrosity haha.

Search around on here because there was a thread on this that showed a red EG hatch that had a JDM integra front on it and it looked BAD ***.

If you end up looking for an OEM replacement, I got mine from Majestic Honda http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com and it fit perfectly!

Ironically enough...I bought an EK bumper from http://www.partstrain.com and also had a perfect fit and no complaints.

Good luck!

if you really want my Opinion, key word, OPINION, I think it's kinda ugly and I would stick to an OEM bumper. and a JDM ITR front end conversion? holy crap I saw an EG hatch with a USDM Teg front end it too was ugly. I hope the JDM ITR conversion looks better.

Go with what you really want. If it were me I'd save a few bucks and snag an OEM one. Lucky for me my front bumper was just in the back seat when I bought it and not missing entirely.

it's oddly similar to the regular EG front end, just more modern looking. I like it. Again the USDM Teg front end is *** ugly.

Its kinda funny how the original question isnt about an integra front end at all, its about a stockish looking front bumper for a new EK hatch hes buying. Way to pay attention to the topics...

noooooo I wasn't planning on the conversion... They make a ITR styled bumper for an EK. It's actually really similar I don't think many people would notice the difference.

too bad that picture doesn't show the bumper painted the same color as the rest of the car, that would make it easier to judge whether or not it looked good, because the white and blue looks looks a bit atrocious in my opinion.
