I got into a fender bender and Im going to be purchasing a new bumper. A new bumper from Honda is 189 and a Cwest Authentic bumper is 220 . BTW Most likeley there will be a intercooler in the front of the bumper I choose.

Rocks

JDMallTHEway

OEM..

Nice, but I prefer oem w/ Si lip and grille.

The c west bumper is retarded if you dont have the full kit.

Rocks

actually with the money I save on the grill and lip I will have enough money to buy a wings west rear lip (yeah I know its ricey but I love how it looks ) and I might buy the sideskirts.

I'd still say OEM. They just look better on 99-00 IMO. C-West a strong 2nd.

BTW, isn't C-West a more pratical application for intercoolers (wider mouth)?

Unless you're planning to purchase the full CWest kit, I wouldn't suggest you purchase the front bumper by itself.

Personally, I'd rather stick with OEM. What's going to happen when or IF you damage your CWest bumper? You'd want an alternate bumper so I say start with the OEM bumper, and go from there.

OEM bumper + OEM lip = OEM HaW7N3Ss

CWest front bumper + no sides/rear = no bueno.

OEM W/ FOGZ

i personally think the c-west is just an aggressive oem replica lol, i like it

I agree here, unless you have the complete kit, it looks kinda retarded with only the front bumper on. OEM&gt;Cwest in quality and fit

OEM +lip of your choice
I hate fiberglass bumpers!!

_Spugen_

OEM/si lip.

_unknown_

I vote C-west front. THe rest of the kit doesn't look that good.

here is a nice comparison pic...

sohcSUCKS

anybody try to cut the opening for the foglights out like the c-west? look almost the same and will prolly look better and then u wont need side or rear lip.

new bandwagon

Nova_Dust

They look similar. For your application, get C-West, since it has larger room for intercooler.

I like the oeam one with the si lip, but its really up to you, if you want to cahnge a look and you have the money go with the cwest..
