    Got a new bumper :D

    It's from a 1988 Accord CA, so it came with the crazy bumper lights that include a park light.

    Unfortunately this means no more OEM fogs, lip or bumper pole! The lip on these bumpers is much thinner.

    The condidtion is great though, once painted silver it will look good as new

    Re: Got a new bumper :D

    old lip might not fit exactly right since it's the newer bumper but it'd still be worth trying

    if yours is like the usdm with the two steel brackets attached to the bumper, i just ran a a piece of square aluminum all the way across between the two brackets, then mounted all four lights to that aluminum bar,it fits right up into the grill area,you might have to trim some of the plastic grill bars,but it should fit.

    Re: Got a new bumper :D

    Well the sides of the lip are too short, so it just doesn't look right. Guess I'll be needing that Integra lip. The folding fogs won't have enough room to retract their covers, so I could just take the covers off. But tbh i'd rather put new fogs there and sell off the folding fogs.

    The car I got it off had mint folding mirrors, grey with chrome trim and also mint Accord CA side markers.

    You guys say it's the 89 teg lip? Is your 89 a pop up light teg or the later DA fixed headlight?

    I'll fix your problem with the fogs, just sell them to me.

    Can't wait to see the new bumper painted and installed.

    yeah its the 89 teg with flip ups, you will also need a few items from the hard ware store such as new bolts and nylon spacers, 1/2 inch spacers seems to get it siteing very well

    I would REALLY like it if you would be willing to get really good measurements for the fog light brackets. I know a LOT of us want a set. We have a member here willing to reproduce them parts if they have measurements.

    If someone draws some lines on these pics, I can measure them up. This is the left side one.

    Re: Got a new bumper :D

    If I sell the fogs, I'll make another thread about them with some close up pics. One has cracks in the casing which would probably need to be sealed up. Not visible when they are on the car.

    They are motorized.

    Best for JDM wank value tbh lol. Not exactly great if you want a super bright fog-pearcing light.

    Wow looks good! Brand new out of the bubble wrap. Did you have to pay extra for the paint or do they sell oem colors on the bumpers over there?
