would i be ok with not installing it? the only reason is becuase were i live honda junkyards are junkyards that have a honda in it are scarce.

 

Sure, you don't really need them.

you are not the only one with that problem

 

and i have new bumper, bumper lights and corner lights on order. Do i need the bumper support that goes behind the bumper? and will a 92-95 civic fron lip fit? the reson i ask is i can get a mugen style one from jgmshit.com for 85 shipped. if i have to to slight modification i can do that

 

Umm..it snows in Idaho rite??..keep the plastics...helps protects the car from rust and other ****..if ur re-enforcement bar is bent, replace it....too much modifacation on a 92-95 lip to fit onto a 88-91 CRX/EF

 

damn there is such a better selection of lips for 92+ civics then ef's i have found like 2. and i can get a mugen one for $85.

 

 

and i was woundering if there was pictures any were on how to remove a front ed bumper. I never have and need to see if im missing any hardware to put a new one back on.

 

I have had my plastic off for sometime now. No probems from me, and my lights haven't filled up ever, wtf are you talking about.

 

you will get better gas mileage with them on, less air resistance due to turbulence in the wheel well. you don't need them though.

 

the bumper mounts all the way accross that frame that is tweaked on your passenger side. You would normally remove the lower blinkers and stick a socket with an extension in there and remove 2 bolts per side. There are 2 screws on either side by the fender, and usually 2 maybe more bolts that hold the under plastic up that have to be removed. Does that help? sorry, no pics but if you have your bumper from teh crash, you should be able to look at it and see where most things used to mount. Oh yeah theres a big styrofoam piece that goes inbetween the bumper cover and the metal bumper frame.

 

see thats what sucks the wrecker took it

 

here, hang on..


The part near the fender is 2 pieces and you are missing the piece that attaches to the corner of the bumper. They are adjustable to help locate the bumper. the one circled in the center, there are bolts to be removed to take that big bar off the front.



this shows the other side missing the same piece, but the other marks represent points where the bumper has bolts to hold it on. THe arrows are meant to represent underneath the car, and the little slashes represent these little fasteners that hold the plastic bumper cover to the main crash support/bumper. You look to be missing that piece also which may be attached to the bumper. I dont know how junkyards are around you, but I have see most if not all of those parts available that way. let me know that only confuses you and I'll try to explain better. I also am willing to bet someone else has something better to explain it. HTH.

just drive it like that. driving with out a bumper is JDM Y0

i realy cant help b/c i'm not a body guy but did it take out any wires? b/c i can help ya there

 

[QUOTE=The AntiRice]here, hang on..

i have that peice if you need.Bryan

 

that would be sweet, ya i wish i would of taken it off at least once so i knew what i was missing. Ya from what i read from somewere else there was only like 8 bolts that hold it on. But oh well bumper coming in soon.

 

man... could have been worse. Sucks it happened... but I got one for you. This what happened to me this morning

 

Dude, why is the top of your bumper still bolted up? Badboy, thats terible. At least you were able to bring it to a stop safely.

 

My friend crashed his CRX last week, and the whole front bumper was gone + the radiator is now leaking. I already bought the radiator and the bumper today so we are going to work on it this weekend. The frame is bent so it will take us time to fix the CRX.

 

ya the parts should come in soon, the bumper is not still atached thats the filler part its seperate.
