I can find 92-96 jdm bumper supports all over the place. However I cant find any 5th gen ones. Anyone know why this is ?

I don't know why, but I'm not exactly finding the 4th gen one "all over the place." I'd sure like to know where you've found them. Maybe there's not much weight savings for the 5th gen one?

i found them a few places awhile back. I believe password jdm had them.

 

Are you looking for a fourth gen. or fifth?

Did you try reading?

 

Is the 4th gen one really lighter than the US version?

 

yes

 

i have a jdm one that i dont use it prolly weighs like 5 lbs while the us weighs around 25-30 its just a guess though.

A 5th gen one?

 

where can you find a 4th gen one from. I have not found one anywhere.

 

If you find someone who has multiple sets for a 5Gen, let me know. I'd be interested in a set.

Maybe auto adventure if you call them? If they do have 4th gen ones then they might just have 5th gen ones too.

Also Honda made it that big for the USDM for a reason. I wouldn't put it on daily beater that does a lot of freeway driving.

Wow, that looks really flimsy. I guess if I wanted to cut mine up it would be the same thing. I think I will pass on that one. I was thinking it was made of a lighter material. I have seem bumper supports that are made out of a composite type material instead of steel. Thanks for clearing this one up for us!!!!

 

does anyone know what the actual weight difference is ?

 

^^If I get my hands on one, I'll put it on the scale.

 

damn that would be scary in a accident i think insurance would deny coverage for using that

 

i believe the usdm bumper supports are good for something like 10mph and the jdm ones are like 2 or 5 mph

 

It does look nice and ready for a tall intercooler to be installed under it though.

 

I called out adventure today. http://www.partsadventure.com/
No one answered, but I left a message asking about 4th and 5th gen supports. I'll try to call them back on Tuesday.

 

i found a place around me that can get them they said something like $100 for just the front. So if anyone finds them cheaper or anything post it up

 

Guess I'll buy the 4th gen one I found for 105 shipped then. I don't think they'll get much cheaper...I wish the seller was local 'cuz it would be 55 bucks picked up.

 

well im having some issues getting these supports. The guy at the place is saying that they are two piece with nothing across the center section. I want to go up there and check it out but I have like zero time during their business hours to get up there and if I made time and found out its the wrong part I would be annoyed to say the least. I cant see this being possible since the bumper has to snap into place in the center there. Also the JDM type s bumper has all the same mounting spots as the usdm so i cant see there support being much different besides weaker and lighter construction.

Ive asked this on Prelude power also and am getting nothing but reasons not to run a lightweight support and no actual info.
