The reason im asking is, i have a 00' itr with 00 rear bumper..
but it's been scratched up and i've been just drivin' like that for 2 years
with my touch up paint from Acura..

Finally I want to do the paint job and i have a 97 integra bumper sitting in my garage. which one should i paint??

opinions of your style and some pictures of 97s if u have!

 

98+ but thats because I have to have the rear Optional valences

 

Definitely go with the '98-up for originality.

 

paint both and use either when you get bored...but the 97 IS a pretty bumber, despite the popularity of the 98+. it looks like a kit itself, molding into the shape of the rear end, very nice.

98 bumper


97 bumper is ghetto unless you have a 97 itr then its uber cool


plus mismatched stuff doesnt look right (98 front with 97 rear bumper, or 98 rear bumper with 97 front, lame)

Keep everything same because of resale value.

Yes to the first thing ,

But maybe not on the 2 thing

I say this because do you guys remember that takata green ITR a while back , it was soooo sick looking , he put a jdm front with the 97 rear bumper , with the aztec lip kit , and it looked sooooo Fin fresh

But that is the only time i EVER liked mismatched year bumpers .

 

98 for sure... the lip lookin thing is sexy!

It wasn't Takata Green, and the Azect lip only works with 97 rear bumpers. The only reason that looked good was because it was a matching kit. Thats the only reason it looked good.
