just picked up an bumper from an EPB si, has the oem lip, grill and i just went ahead and got it painted the stock honda black professionally. When i went to put it on, the bumper didn't seem wide enough to wrap around the car.. like if i would hold one side in, the other side would not stay, i even took off the FOAM bumper support piece behind it. My question is, is it for exclusively for 2 door 99-00 civics? i noticed the bumper is a little longer looking on the 4dr. Thanks, will have pics up soon.

 

i don't know about the EK but i know the bumper off an EG 2dr/3dr will not fit a coupe without the fenders and hood off a 2/3dr so maybe it is the same

 

it seemed more like it wasen't wide enought and more curved?

 

96-98 front bumpers.. all the same
99-00 front bumpers.. all the same

i don't know why you're having problems.

 

bumper support bar maybe? i noticed from looking from the inside that the vents indentions seems longer and flatter on the 4dr, maybe just me.... hmm

its for my gf's car, she has been in a 1mph accident hitting something in the front before but i dont think it was that big, they replaced the headlight and repainted the bumper appears to be, i was getting eating alive by bugs outside her house so i didnt' mess with it too much but could it be the support bar? i mean her stock bumper fits perfectly on there and this bumper did come off another car...

so its confirmed doesn't matter if its 2 door or 4 door? did the 96-98 bumpers ever had vents on the side like the si or newer civics where the OEM foglights go

nope

 

It will fit. You just to get one side on a bit, then the other side, then just shove it on..

 

hm.. i think u got the 96-98 model. n u're tryin to put on a 99-00 bumper on.

that's y it wont fit! check!

but if ur car is a 99-00.. it should fits rite on.. even if ur gf hit something at 1mph. damage isnt THAT bad.

 

leave it in the sun for a few hours to let it expand and maybe more flexable if it were a tight fit or something

 

we need to know what year is your girl's civic????

 

when i bought my bumper and tried to fit it originally it wouldnt fit, i tried wrestling with it but eventually I found that the bumper was "warped" the top and the bottom were closer than they were suppose to be so I pulled on the top and bottom until it went over that metal bar and it fit like a glove. Try looking at the spots were it wont stick and see where its hitting, you might just have the same problem as me.

 

her civic is indeed an 2000 4dr LX civic, i'm going to attempt one more time, thanks for the reply guys! i'll let u guys know

 

I dont think it will fit. Im sure that 4 dr bumpers and 2 door bumpers are different, specially Si's

 

more hope killing ... anyone with an definite answer? before i go get more bug bites outside the driveway

That's absolutely wrong. Firstly, ALL 1999-2000 Honda Civic front bumpers are interchangeable. Secondly, ALL 1996-1998 Honda Civic front bumpers are interchangeable. And lastly, ALL 1996-2000 Honda Civic sedan and coupe rear bumpers are interchangeable.

 

even the REAR????

Yes, even the rear. Like I said, all 1996-2000 Honda Civic sedan and coupe rear bumpers are swappable. I have an EJ8 sedan, and my friend has an EM1; we swapped rear bumpers because he wanted to see what an OEM '96-'98 rear lip would look like on his car.

 

LOL....sorry to laugh but why would you spend the $ to paint a bumper you never test fit?

 

lets not talk about that solo! who would guess that it came off an si and wont fit now lol
