$377 will only get you eBay kits unless you have connects to the real deal Holyfield shizznits.

There's not really any "cool" after market bumper without making it look like a civic. But it's your car..

Default Hell NO!

No. No. No. Honda ricers is not my thing. I keep my rice in my bowl not on the road....

The bumper is boring. The newer GSs Lexus are sweet. And I cant afford to buy a 80 plus thousand car so I want to swap a bumper. Its just lines that go straight across. No definition. No character. No break up in between. That link YxUxMaddd was pretty good. They had some nice AIM bumpers on there.

I had a 95 TA that all the parts were swappable for the last 2002 edition. Once put together it looked exactly like a 2002. The last year it was made.

I assumed that there were aftermarket parts that you could snap on with a little work to have a more unique front. But I have yet to see someone on here that has done that. I guess Im the only one.

Actually you should hit up member 77i9 (Gill) he has an authentic Fabulous half bumper never mounted that snaps on over your stock bumper from the chrome strip down. It's pretty official...

If you google it in images the pictures that come up first are actually his.
