I bought a 98+ bumper and replaced my 96 bumper and was wondering if there was a part that is supposed to come with it to hold the license plate (something to screw the license plate into)

if anyone could tell me the part number or something.. that'd be helpful

 

I'll assume you're talking about the front bumper since the rear is pretty straight forward if you know how to put bolts in holes. The front on the 98 should have two holes for the bolts on top and the bottom is fastened via a black bar that extends from the opening in the center of the bumper. I forget what it's attached to... maybe the radiator frame or something like that. Chances are this is what you're missing right? It's not attached to the bumper physically so I guess who ever sold you the bumper didn't bother giving it to you or forgot to. In a ny case, you can get one from the junk yard easily or if you tighten the top bolts enough you won't really need the bottom.

 

it can just screw into the bumper.

the bumper should have 2 holes with threads for bolts.

 

noo. i'm talking about the rear bumper... i don't have the holes where u can screw them in i guess... maybe i'd have to take a picture to show...

 

that is what my rear (license plate section) looks like... nothing to screw screws in or bolt up...

oh.. and don't mind the primer

 

yeah theres suppose to be some black thing there

I think thats what its called

 

thanks.. i'll look into that

 

anyone know the part number to help me out???

 

upp

 

you should probably call them
but looking from the picture

i say 21/23. is the bumper on your car already? you dont have this part on your car alreayd ?

 

nope.. i replaced the rear bumper to the 98+ and didn't have anything to screw the license plate into... the 94-97 bumper jsut had these clips on the bumper that i screwed the license plate into....

i'll probably have to go thru the dealership....?

 

i just used taht same piece from my 94 bumper

 

yeah I switched the whole lighting/bolt up assembly from my 96 to my 98+ bumper

 

^^
i did the same thing... maybe i just didn't have the license plate brackets to begin with............

 

hey jay, there are two metal clips that are supposed to slide and cover the license plate holes. imagine a metal bracket surrounding the hole...

edit with pic... old pic of mine i dug up to help you out better...

 

Like everyone said, reuse your old bumper plate support.

 

^^
i did that

i guess i'm missing those clips that the license plate screws into... do those clips attach to the bumper or the car?

 

my rear bumper looks different than the one deejaycherub showed...

seems like mine is missing that part... anyone know anything about this?

I got the same thing when I bought a 98+ rear bumper. Appearently its from a Japanese integra. I just hacked together some mount points in the rear bumper support to screw the plate into.

 

so u just drilled new holes to screw the license plate into?

 

anyone else have a 98+ japanese rear bumper??? and what'd u do to fix this problem?

cuz i guess it's a japanese version bumper.. so it doesn't have the mounts where i can screw my license plate... do the japanese ones come with anything in order to do so? or do i gotta ghetto-rig/customize it to work...?

 

looks like you gotta customize it bro. there's big *** piece missin from yours compared to my pic. shouldn't be to hard to rig up something simple.

i suggest finding some thing metal strip to create the horizontal mounting holes. use two small screws on each side to hold the strap in. line up the plate, drill the holes... hope that helps, goodluck...

 

yea.. i was thinking of that too.. thanks for the input.. i'll try it out.. i dont wanna get pulled over for not having my license plate on....... (put it on the hatch cover.. but my windows are tinted too... haha)
