Why are some Eg civic's front bumper where the fog lights goes is painted black and some are not painted black? And some have all three i guess you may call them grills painted black. Why is this? I'm carious and was just wondering why so I know. Here is a few pics for reference. These are not my civics just random civics off of autotrader.

 

it just depends on the person that painted it but if you cover it up with some oem foglight it wouldnt matter

 

i should have said which way did it come out of factory as. and you could put fog lights but not everyone likes them.

 

depends on the year.

i believe 92-92 was black, and 94-95 was painted. (oem)

 

Depends what year the car is. Honda did it both ways.

 

i had a feeling it had to do with something about the year of the car.

 

You're right, even though you said 92-92. =P. ^^^^
Makes it easier to tell if a car is repainted though.
