Default Nothing worse then a sagging front bumper (the bumper bracket loose shape?)

The 88-91 Civic/Crx's are over 15 years old is it pretty common for the bracket on the bumper that bolts to the front to sag and loose it's natual L shape which leads to a saggin bumper?

All I have is the thin lil HF bracket bumper support on it that uses 2 bolts on each side to be bolted up.

It's pretty common for anything over 15 years old to lose it's shape.

Awesome car and all, but do you have a suggestion on how to fix that or a write up? Or are you looking to find a way to fix that? I just can't figure out what you trying to get from this post.

I am curious if it's common for the bumper bracket to lose it's shape which causes the sag before I get into it.

Yea I'll do a quick write up here in the next few days I'll weld in a gusset if this is the issue.

Yup, like Tippyman said they start to sag over the years. A write on that would be cool, I need to fix mine as well lol.

I guess I can kinda see it, although the first thing I first noticed was the headlights look a little low in relation to the side markers? I didn't think the bumper looked saggy

Why not enlarge the holes on the bumper support and push it up more. It took my 2 days to get my sir front end perfect. But a handful of washers and patience can make a huge difference

Before


After

you know why people can't see the sag right away? it's because 90% of crx's on the road look like that. Nice work chemist!
