Default OEM Bumper question?

Does anyone no if there is a place online where you can order an OEM bumper painted? I have looked on many sites and to order a new front bumper it never comes painted from the factory which really sucks. Is there a site that offers this? Thanks

How could it possibly be color matched if it is prepainted already?

Do it the right way. Go to Acura and buy a bumper. Go to a paint shop, let them color match it for you. Put the bumper on yourself to save some $$.

No, I don't think you can get a bumper painted from factory.

Now why would you need a new bumper?

I dont no if I want my OEM fog lights and if I take them off I couldnt handle the cut out gaps in the grill. I am very **** about mintness and its driving me nuts just thinking someone had to cut the grill to put the fogs in.

For half the price you can go to a body shop and get your holes covered instead of buying a whole new bumper and getting it painted.

Are you really Tootsie posting under another name?

You do realize that a new bumper would not have the VINs on it that your original bumper that is on the car right now has right?

94-97 front bumper requires a lil bit of cutting the grill to fit the fogs. I don't know how they can be filled. I guess a new bumper is required. Just look for someone who is selling their 94-97 front after doing a jdm or 98+ front then take it to a shop to get it painted/color matched.

basically along with the low miles the vin matching panels etc are what keep the value of his car higher then a typical R

Looks like it's time to start looking for another pristine R.

Nope I love mine even though it has fogs, and plan on keeping this one for life. Alot of you may think I am dumb for this but in the future I plan on jdm front conversion.
