Bumper Fitment

[civic_geek133]

Alright guys, well i bought a buddy club front bumper from Vlad(from this forum) and i just got it today...

well tonight i had put the bumper lights in, and drilled the holes out for the bolts on the side...well i thought i would see how it fit just for the hell of it, and nothing lined up...there was about 1 1/2 gap on the sides and about 1 1/2 gap in front of the head lights...i dont know what to do...

Has anyone had any bad bumper fitments with the buddy club front? and does anyone have any ideas what i could do?

thanks!

hmm, is the bumper hitting your impact beam? My first bumper did and I had to cut the impact beam down on the sides so it'd fit. But my buddy club bumper fits fine on my 4dr.

Is the bumper for a CRX or a hatch btw??

[civic_geek133]

the impact beam is off, its still attached to the stock bumper

and if the bumper if for a crx or civic...Vlad siad it was for a civic...but something tells me its not

when i bought the bumper, it specifically said civic civic hatchback. i even double checked with the seller dude to make sure it wasnt a crx front bumper and whatnot and he reassured me it was civic hb bumper. this really makes me mad though because this guy has such good ratings for fitment and then this happens. civic geek 133 sent me pictures of the bad fitment and there's a decent sized gap under the headlights and the ends of the bumper like dont reach the wheel arch. it seems like the support beam is in the way in the pictures but there isnt one behind the bumper.

i dont know man, i dont know what to do

i dont know if i can even work with it..the gaps are severe...i cant even get the bolts to even start to thread with out stressing the shit out of the fiberglass, even then they still wont thread in
i dont know..

i think that bumper is a crx bumper, it removes the front filler. dont most hatch bumpers use the front filler? but u could just get crx finders and corners and have the crx front end. i would do that!

post the pic of it on ur hatch

[vladlos]

yo dj, put your corner lights in and see if they fit. if they dont then it means its a crx bumper. but i'm most certain its a hb bumper

[vladlos]

atleast i think i'm right about the corner lights thing, i think the crx corner lights are a little longer

[civic_geek133]

heres some pics







Sorry about the shitty pics, but it was cold, wet, and dark...i'll to get some better ones when its light out

i think i have a pass side crx finder and i know i have at last 1 set on oem corners...

btw pics look fine

[civic_geek133]

ah i dont know if i want to go threw all that trouble...

if i cant find a red pas. and a driv. CRX fenders for a hella low price i may consider that, but right now i dunno

[vladlos]

i think the whole bumper will fit well if you could make the front tabs that go above the rad to go farther in somehow because that kinda looks like what's messing up the rest of the fitment

[civic_geek133]

the whole thing is just straight up whacked up, i dont even think that could do it

i would have to literally fiberglass everything all over just to get it to fit right

Hey, vlad, where did you get the bumper from? What company?
