my best guess would be it's a cut lower half off another 3gee front bumper flipped upside down. BTW, what's that bodykit front bumper on your sig from? looks like a good fit. is that CRX?

yes sir.....your correct, it is just a piece cut off another bumper.....doesnt look too damn shabby, and im not afraid to ruin it by scraping....



and the bodykit in my sig is a 88-91 civic Wings West RS kit


i think it looks pretty damn good, if someone could pull it off, would look alot better than the ugly rounded kits everyone else is using....the 4th gen civic kits are usually just square enough for the accord, the problem is i think the accord would be way too wide.....

I like it all! I know that some people won't like the Acura symbol but I think it shows that our 3geez are luxury! I mean come'on if somebody asks you at a light be like, "Yeah this is old school luxury! Who needs a gps I got a damn Key map!" Then peel out and get smoked by his TL. :) OH well I like it and the black theme is nice but, I think the turn signals unsmoked are kinda an eye sore IMO.

Looks good, I tired that before with my 88-89 front bumper, now I have an 86-87 with bits from the rear bumper as lips. I also tired to see what a lowered rear bumper would look like so I added on another rear bumper skin and made a new hole for the muffler. Now I have on a coupe rear bumper.
