Cuz do you realize it will be close to impossible to drive that anywhere without ripping that bumper off. That thing will be soooo close to the ground.

Just remember, Look under your stock bumper, See any scratches? The new one will hang several inches lower, and since it is made of fiberglass, it wont flex like the stock bumper, it will just break.

Well...personally I think you have the wrong kit mixed up with the total opposite car.
I just wanna point out your mixing a skyline styled accord bumper...with some Dub style Gucci interior....on a luxury sedan? Do you have any pics of how it looks right now?Before the major work?

JSM. theres nothing wrong with scratching the under of the car, who sees it anyways. i scrape my car everywhere i go, but again, my bumper is a topnotch quality bumper that can withstand some abuse. whereas these knockoff brands are super thin.

the bumper is going to be slightly lower than the stock one but not much.
cuz we gonna cut off top part of body kit and lower part of my stock bumper and put it together. so it would be like puttin a stock bumper.
