Im about to buy some aftermarket oem fenders, bumper, and core support for a 92-95 civic and am wondering if any of yall have tried them. Is the material durable and is the fitment alright? And i heard of some bumpers and fenders with certi-fit or something like that but dont kno where to get them. Thanks.

 

fitment depends on a few things. if they are installed right they should fit good. but, some non-cert-fit might be a little more iffy.

i got an oem aftermarket fender, bumper and hood. i got them from a dealer. they were CHEAP because they weren't honda brand.

the bodyshop i went to sucked ***. the new fender doesn't fit 100% but i think its just because my rad support was a lil tweaked.

the hood and bumper fit great though.

 

aynone else use aftermarket parts?

 

taiwanese generic parts are usually cheaper by 20% or more.
Fit and the quality of materials is usually questionable.

We fixed a toyota camry bumper and it ended up cracking 6 months later. STock uses urethane, but the taiwanese brand was clearly not.

Bottom Line, you get what you pay for.

 

what material was that bumper made out of?

 

i'm guessing fiberglass?

 

I used an aftermarket OEM fender on my Integra and it fit perfect. I had to do bending on the supports, but that was it. (I drove the car under a suburban so stuff was pushed down)

 

ROFLMAO...Aftermarket OEM Parts? If that isn't the wildest oxymoron I've ever heard!

Sorry, you can have your thread back now.

 

I have a set of headlights on the way, I sure as hell hope they're decent.
