...I have never seen any full bumper replacement body kit that doesnt need some kind of "persuading" so why not just get a cheap one?

are the materials different or what?

i didnt know that the real one had c/f but still there is no reason that a bumper should be 1200$ thats insane the company that made it first made a great product but expletive thats greed even if i had 1200 to spend on a bumper i would not be driving a car thats almost 8 years old

I would understand why, but theres nothing he could do other then tell the seller to take it off.

Fake or real, that is ugly. I don't see how showing off your lower core support is cool. Now if there was a nice front mount in there. Otherwise, I just don't get it.

Real Backyard Special has a Carbon Fiber/Kevlar lip attached to the bumper itself.

Airwalker is a replica of the Backyard Special with no Carbon lip.


This one appears to be an Airwalker/and or fake.

Airwalker, just like backyard special, doesnt even fit perfect, and both are still fiberglass. Backyard has the kevlar, but its still fiberglass.

Copy is fiberglass, and from what i was told, you might even get one that fits slightly better.

Sure, its not real, dont fake the funk and tell people it is if you get one, but i can understand not wanting to go out and spend that much on a bumper that is gonna crack anyways...

my .2c, and im sure someone will hate it.

Hopefully someone that has both or has really worked with all of them will chime in and let us know more info.

Buy it and do what u want!!! Dont listen to other people opinion.. I rather buy fake one.. The reason why is Im afraid of riding on civic with real backyard special front end because there are many thieves steal the car and dont wanna waste money for nothing...

i been looking for a FAKE one but this one u showed on ebay doesnt even have the pic of the actual fake bumper. Id get it if it was 150. 200+ is too much for fake bumpers imo
