Default i got 2 free bumpers from a body shop ...

1 is 89 civic hb bumper in oka cond and the other 1 from a 1990 acura integra and this is awful 1 but thre bottom of ther bumper is good where the vents are at ...so i was thinking abt cut the bottom of the acura bumper and mold it on the 89 1 to make it look like a lip with vents on it.

fiberglass it together for longevity... you don't want the bondo to crack when you bottom the front out, or hit a parking block.
