hi-tek

well i have a 96 4dr and was thinking about the front n rear jdm sir bumpers... question is has anyone tried putting just the moldings on the stock usdm bumpers? i know it's kind of ghetto but i want to see if it looks clean n i dont really want to get the bumpers painted if i get the sir ones..
anyways thnx in advanced guys... and i've hit the SEARCH button but i couldn't find anything

well youd have to glue them on i guess, or cut holes in to secure them??

hi-tek

yeah i was thinking about cutting holes so they look more like the actual bumpers... im thinking if u glue them they would be sticking out a bit to far

hi-tek

We bought it like that from Honda dealership in 1998 (it's a '97).
The first owner put it on.
I'm not sure if they're JDM or not.
I asked the dealer to check if they were offered in U.S. but he said that they don't have the catalogs for that year anymore (I wanted to get the same ones for my hatch).
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

hi-tek

if their still in good cond would u like to sell them to me?

d16rice

I don't think they're coming off, lol.
I'll check this weekend, but I really doubt that there's anything left out of the rear ones.

Wait so are you parting out anything?

d16rice

At the moment, I can't touch anything that the insurance comapny might notice.
Although the front swaybar is already on my hatch

it would look retarded, because the JDM bumpers have a recess for the moldings so w/o that recess they'll stick out too far.

I don't know if I had the JDM ones, but it looked like it came like that from the factory. The moldings didn NOT stick out any more than the ones on the sides, even though the bumpers did not have the groves for them.

-L@ndry-

I guessing the would stick out the same as us moldings. Because the jdm cars have thin side moldings right. I dunno maybe?? I wonder what it would look like also??
