as most of you probably have read in the other post the front of my car is kinda ugly right now. now what i was wondering is what would you do in my position? on ebay ive been able to find replacements for my front bumber and lip

and replacements for just the bumper

if i just got the bumper then i would want a cf lip, does anyone know anything about the quality of this one i found?

the oem replacement bumper and lip is like 220 after shipping. the oem bumper with a cf lip would about 400 bucks after shipping.

i dont even know how much it would cost to get a new bumper painted, would it be cheaper to have done before it's installed or would it be better after its installed? can anybody give me some ruff figures on how much painting would be, im figuring i can handle the installation myself.

 

you prolly already know but there are some reputable vendors at honda-tech.com "bestbuy" section. i know those CF lips are abundantly available for integras.

 

i would say go with the lip, they look damn good also the vis ones are damn good i want to get the vis CF hood but need $

 

cf = drool

broken pieces of carbond fiber after you hit a couple of bumps around bburg = pain

but somepoeple like to risk more than others.

 

my boy has the exact same car (color and everything) and he converted to 98 he still has the front bumper and is desperatley trying to get rid of it. you should hit him up and see if he wants to get rid of it. on here hes "eight grand"

 

hey dude i can get all sorts of aftermarket stuff, including VIS stuff, i run the internet sales for the shop i work at back home. i dont know what ull finally end up paying after the auction is over and uve payed shipping and everything, but i can check and see what i can do pricewise for u too, maybe itll help

get the bumper painted off the car- ur car is new enough that they shouldnt have too much of a problem matching the color due to fade and whatnot, so they wont need to blend it to the rest of the car

 

thanks for the responses guys, hopefully ill have this thing all under control by the end of the week and ill know what direction im gonna go with it.

 

def go with the cf lip dude ... thats one of my next plans and they look damn nice
