Well, here is the fitment of that certifit bumper that didn't look to attractive...



The tool



After shots, not as good as before shots, but it looks 100 times better. When I get ready to paint, I'll probably get detailed and do a little more.





I also fixed slight gap problems on the passenger side tail light. It was pushed in about 1/16 of an inch, and being picky, I had to fix it. Turned out good. Just used a heat gun, evenly applied heat, and used the butt end of a wooden hammer to do the pressing. Be careful(if you ever need to do this-hopefully not) to not get it too hot too fast, then the plastic will melt and it will look terrible. Peace

wow, thats a really shitty fitting bumper ,haha. well, how much did you pay for that? i got an aftermarket(taiwan) bumper and it fits better than that.

 

Ughh, that was a horrible fit...

That's some damn good handy work you busted out on it though...

 

Looks OEM to me now heeheh

 

nice job that takes some skills

 

30 bucks. The rest fit perfectly. It was probably just a flaw ad I didn't want to driver 2 hours just to exchange it. Only took about 20 minutes to fix and gave me something to do, what they hay

 

nice job

 

woops, i read your other thread, and explains about the bumper. well, probably the way they stack them for storage warps the bumpers. same thing happened to my front one, cept i just rammed it on there and it slowly went back to the right shape. i still need to pull my frame out from a little accident on the freeway though, so everything doesn't line up right.

 

my taiwan rear bumper looked like **** (similar to emerica's), so i had to bit the bullet and purchase an oem one.

 

 

what is that tool anyway? nice finish

 

 

a heat gun. Perfect for removing stickers, pinstripes, etc.

 

Looks much better.

 

looks alot better.

 

sweet

 

Do you know if they have parts for newer cars like if I wanted to do the 96-98 to 99-00 civic conversion?

 

certifit has parts almost all honda i think, however their eg' parts are a lot cheaper than a ek or dc. cant beat 27dollars though! i think fenders are 50 for a pair, and 50 for a hood,

 

good job...

 

Honestly, looks the same as OEM now. Nothing could really warrant buying a $300 bumper from Honda if it looks the same and is subject to daily damage. I think you did the smart thing. For those of us with ladies to take care of...The extra money comes in handy. I'm definately going to look at them when it comes time for new bumpers. Thanks Emerica!
