I made my full size wooden template today from my hatch rear bumper, I'll be heading to the yard Saturday morning, I made this instead of having to carry a bumper around. All I have to do, is hold it up under any lip that looks close. Any suggestions as to anything that might be close?, to narrow it down. IF I find anything or see anything thats close, I'll be taking pics and making notes as to make model and year.
This is awesome Tim! I'm curious to see what you find.
I/H/E, B16 mani, delta 272, OBD1....etc
Very clever!

after looking at hundreds of cars at the yard, the closest thing appears to be the three piece lip from a possibly 94-95 Accord LX, I'm not sure on the year, as the manufacturers ID plate is missing, and the VIN plate is missing, they wrote the vin on the window though.
It seems to fit pretty decent, this is the three piece lip, it will require some trimming with a pair of tin snips, and you need to make some pie cuts, in the part where it contacts the bumper. I have to cut off the end where the exhaust is, and trim the other end.
If that's the right VIN, then it was a '95.

I think they pulled the vin from one of the hidden vin numbers or something, I spent hours in dirt and ants trying to find something even close, I think something bit me on the hand trying to remove a lip from a civic bumper, two puncture marks, I even checked in the truck yard,thinking a truck lip would be more square,but this is the closest thing I can find. it's slightly rounded on the edges, but the VW gls lip I have on the front bumper is the same way.Originally Posted by Dr_Snooz
the holes are all drilled in the lip, now it all has to come back off,so the ends can be trimmed, and the body work done on the bumper.
That's slick! If it matches the front, I wouldn't sweat it! It looks great so far. Keep going.

that's just a rough guide coat it's been too cold to do any work, I was at the junkyard most of today, so no time to do anything , it's still sitting on my porch
Nice! Glad to see you working on the car. Lots to do!
I didnt get a chance to work on it today, spent most of the day fixing the heat in the truck, but now thats fixed
