Icon2 Aftermarket Front Bumper

I've been needing a new bumper for my 00' Integra (daily beater) and OEM is just too expensive for me and used OEM is just too hard to find on Craigslist. Now my question is, how is the fitment of the aftermarket one ? Does it fit right in and perfect ? how about gaps between bumper and hood, bumper and fenders ??

Please help me !

Thanks you so much....

i've been a collision tech for a while now. i've used aftermarket front bumpers and back bumpers on tegs and they don't fit as good as oem.

you can adjustments to make it close but not like oem.

also aftermarket bumpers don't all fit the same, some fit better , some fit worse.

i agree aftermarket will not fit as good as oem. If you are trying to save money, aftermarket is the way to go. If you are an enthusiast oem/jdm fits more like a glove!

Go get one at a junkyard. 40$. You get a new one and it will need paint anyway. Just beware of stress cracks/anything that looks like it has rustoleum on it.
