you can just buy the bumper but its not going to look clean, there is going to be a fat gap between the filler piece and bumper.

I think that looks fine without all the other stuff, but it does look even better with all the other correct parts.

You should've gotten the corners too. That fitment is poo-poo.

wtf do you mean?

the corners dont make anything "fit" better, and my **** is far from done.

but the "gap" under the corner light is from the bumper being damaged in shipping, not from improper fitment.

that bumper has been replaced with one that has factory fogs tho

the bumper install is really easy.

the light "install" isnt that hard, but is very time consuming (especially if u are doing it yourself)

there are patterns on the back of every JDM SiR bumper for the fog light cutouts.

usae a dremel. the fogs mount to the bumper support, and hang behind the bumper.


the only thing is removing the lower airbox, and moving the washer fluid resivoir.

On a civic, Yes.
However the filler plate is marginally different than the SiR. So best option is stikk a full nose swap.
