Default The new JDM craze!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist..





At night time, the rear looks scary, because you don't see the bumper just blackness and an exhaust

This might be the next big thing in JDM land!

FGK 2.5" muffler


And no, its not for weight reduction - its a new unpainted bumper - my friend rear-ended me on the street, and made a big hole in my old bumper, so insurance paid for a new one Had to take the bumper out to have the exhaust re-aligned, since this isn't a 96-98 rear bumper, but a 99+ one. Why you ask? I like the 99+ bumper more

You also might want to adress the alignment of your trunk on the driver side along with that small panel...Looks off.

actually, for my car, its passenger side

Yeah I know about that - some of those plastic clip-lock things (don't know the proper name for them) broke off in the collision, so thats why its hanging like that. Honda will fix that up though, don't worry about it - The only reason why the bumper is on the back in this state was for re-alignment of my exhaust, that's all The civic goes into Honda on monday for new paint on the front, rear, and paint on the hood to clear up some scratches

One quick question. If I wanted to switch bumpers from my 96-98 to the 99-00, does it just fit on like and line up, or is there some modification neccessary?Thanks. I like how the lip sits lower on the 99-00 rear bumpers.

I found my answer. Yes-it fits perfectly, it's just the my lip that I'll have to "modify" to make it fit.
