Been a while since I was stumped on something like this but I was at my dealership trying to find a new Honda bumper filler for my 89' Civic Si when I ran into something strange.

According to the interchange the 88-89 hb is different from 90-91 hb.
88-89: 60332-SH3-A00ZZ
90-91: 60332-SH3-A01ZZ

These parts do not supersede one another (replace) so does anyone actually know if there is a difference with the shape or design? Only the 90-91 is available from Honda otherwise this would not even be an issue

 

You're talking about the filler above the front bumper or rear bumper?

The front filler piece is visibly much longer in the 90/91 models compared to the pre facelift 88/89's.

 

Yes I was talking about the front. Thanks for the info I will just have to track down the correct one.

 

i thought they were the same

 

Having a issue with this myself, picked up a 90 si and inherited a front bumper filler , that protrudes a good 3/4" outward from where it should normally sit. fitment with hood isn't even close, Any ideas, suggestions?

 

its a real pain sometimes (too often) for people with 88-89 civics (myself included). good luck to you and finding that part brother

 

Could be a sedan filler piece. They're longer than the hatch filler pieces.
