Default 99-00 OEM Front Bumper Or 99-00 Cwest Front Bumper

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.

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.

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

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