    bumper fit test

    I was just wondering if a 86/87 front bumper cover would fit a 88 honda accord. i think it would since mostly 86-89 honda accords are basically the same.

    it does fit.
    why would you want 86-87 bumper covers, they look ugly.

    If your just replacing the bumper cover I don't think it will fit, the turn signal is longer on the 88-89.

    Yeah, the front signals are orange, and the clear one's will not fit. Too long by an inch.

    you'll need the bumper cover, the bumper itself (the black steel part) and the signal markers in the bumper... you may also need the connectors for them, too... other than the styling differences, it WILL fit... when i was fuckin with my car, i had an 87's bumpers on an 88

    i dont really care about the bumper turn signals, i just want a bumper cover. on my accord i have the original bumper but the drivers side of it is gone from when i got in a accident. I just wanted to know if the 86/87 bumper cover would fit on an 88. but thanks for the feedback

    Well, I guess it will fit, but I don't think it's going to fit correctly, at least not without some cutting.
