so the nerd backed up out of his parking spot into me......


best part is he admits and he has no problem paying for it....
my question is how much and where can i find the qtr panels w/ the sidemarkers.....my car is a 95 si

and honda is really the only place to get a good fitting bumper?
dont they want like 400 bucks for one?
my search begins....

thanks
brian

 

REAR or FRONT quarter panels

 

uh well i wouldnt be replacing a rear qtr panel with SIDEMAKRERS

front qtr panels on a 5th gen civic

 

its not worth it just get sidemarkers off ebay, 5g fronts cost 150 thats what ive seen

 

Then you would refer to them as fenders, Quarter panels are more associated towards the rear of the car in my opinion.

Plus I wouldnt get JDM EDM GDM HOMODM fenders just for the side marker cutouts. Save yourself some money and get stock fenders and cut out the markers. IF you insist on getting non american fenders for the cutouts, search far and wide for a mint pair, most of them come banged up.

 

"JDM EDM GDM HOMODM"


was that a joke?

anyway, ive seen a hatch with replica 'fenders' and bumper and they fit like crap.....is honda the only manufacturer that makes good fitting fenders/bumpers?

where do you all get a fender or hood, bumper ect?
i didnt know it would be hard to find a jdm fender set, i thought it would be easy to find....im not even really whooped of the sidemarkers, just asking

 

look man what marty is saying is that you should just put stock parts on your car to fix it, then just drill the holes for your sidemarkers then you will save like 100 bucks the only diff between the usdm and jdm front are the lights not the sheet metal

 

Exactly.

 

yeah i get it, thanks optics......

have you used a taiwan front bumper?
cuz i have seen some nasty looking replicas, and others that look damn good

aight thanks marty
off to the junkyard

 

TKY... their front bumpers are pretty on point.. their fenders too. my first option will be the junkyard for stock fenders, then for taiwan parts.

 

we put a taiwan bumper on my moms intrepid and it doesnt fit the same if your no picky the you'll be ok but to the trained eye you can definatly tell, the gaps are tight but they just look weird

 

ok ....
im only asking cuz i was looking at this cx for sale with a BRAND NEW bumper, fenders and hood and it looked like total ****, thats why im worried about non oem parts.....ill check out ebay and the local junkyards
