Note: If your car has been in a wreck you may not be able to get the same results.

One of the cheapest mods you can do to your civic. Yet it does so much for the looks of the car. See for yourself:

You start with a civic that has $hitty OEM hardware:



Next you take your a$$ to Lowes and get the following:
(I picked up some extras in case I lose some of the hardware in the future )
I should of bought the 2 extra nuts but didn't for some reason

ADDED: Guys get stainless steel hardware. The $hit I have now is going to rust eventually. I'll be replacing the hardware one day.



Here's what you are working with:





Here's part of the reason the bumper will not sit flush to the fender :



Here's what I used to make the fender flush:
(place extension on back side and gently hit extension through fender)



The fender ends up like this:



And the bumper goes back on like this:

Remove the bumper, inspect it for damage, warping, and refit back on.
