Bumper Fitment

[vladlos]

i got it from some ebay company. it wasnt cheap either. i got it for 180. the guy had a high rating and positive feedback for fitment.

thats really shitty. i know vlad personally and I know he wouldn't rip someone off on purpose.

[civic_geek133]

mannn, i am so confused right now...i don't know what to do


like the bumper is no where near just bolting on... ...not sure what i should do

[]{iwi]

pop ur fenders off and see how it looks with the fenders off

[civic_geek133]

The fenders aren't the problem, the whole thing it self fits like shit

[]{iwi]

if its for a crx it wont even come close to fiting with the civic fenders on the car if u take off the fenders and it fits and looks right thrn u need crx fenders and coner lights

[vladlos]

if it was for a crx......wouldnt the part that goes under the fender by the corner light start overlapping the fender?

[bambam89lx]

it's not for a crx....I'm 100% sure of this. Its for the hatch...just got a bad bumper i guess.
You can tell it's for a hatch by the way it bolts up in the center.
CRX bumpers dont bult up in the center like that...they bolt to the reinforcement bar.

does anyone know how i cant make it fit?

Any tips one what i could do?

Would heat work?

Heat works for getting it to flex a little bit, but nothing like what you are trying to do.

bambam, hatches bolt up just like the 4dr's do. All hatch bumpers I've ever seen/sold don't have that lip on the top, it's all just flat. Even the Buddy Club hatch bumper I have on my car is a hatch and it doesn't have that lip. All CRX bumpers I've seen have that filler lip. I'm pretty sure it's for a CRX. For a bumper that nicely made, I doubt he just got a "bad" bumper. That bumper is extremely clean and well made.

sure its not the tabs on the side that the stock bumper screws onto thats holding it back? thats what it looks like to me, but then again, pics in the daylight would be better too. also in the pic above, the bumper is too high, is it the way u were holding it? or is it warped?

you need to pull up from the bottom corner and work the top corner over the plastic piece that the side screws go into in order for it to fit. had the same trouble when puttin my kit on. youll prolly need a second person helping you to keep the center lined up. using something to heat up the edges helps too to get it to be a little more pliable.

[civic_geek133]

you get one side lined up as good as you can get it and the other side wont get lined up...

the side that gets lined up still has bad gaps where the fender meets the bumper...and the holes on the side where the corner lights are the tab doesn't even come close enough to the car so you can start to bolt it on


it seems kind of that the tabs in the middle on each end are to far back and not allowing(spelling) it to go all the way back

i still think u sould pull the fenders off real quick and see how it fits with the fenders off

[civic_geek133]

bumper isn't even touching the fender...
