ek9 front bumper

[kunzo]

just woundering the ek9 front bumper for 99 - 00 model is it the same as all australia market civic fronts? would it all fit right ?

[STTICH]

EK9 99-00 model, will b the same as aust spec 99-00 models.

will not fit aus spec 96-98, just incase u're wondering.

cause i put it on because my old front bumper had some dmg on it so i had a new one replaced but there seems to be uneven gaps on the sides where the front bumper clips on to the front fender.

did you get a taiwanese bumper by any chance?

not genuine honda bumper?

[kunzo]

theres a twainese bumper? im not too sure i took it to the ************ they did it for me, i only spotted it when i got home

[dupac->]

well if u went through a shop they may of skimnped out on the part.. as taiwanese parts are cheaper..

and ive seen taiwanese bars they dont line up to well.. it works if u dont got the dosh to pay for genuine bar but yehh..

i tikn u got an after market bar,

[kunzo]

damn i think i got riped off

[dupac->]

u got it sprayed and fitted?

howmuch?

well at places like panel beaters n shit.. u pretty much gotta state what u are after.. esp when ur paying them the money prices would differ.

"howmuch for a new bar sprayed" <-- gives u a good price.. skimping on parts so you would fix it through them..

"howmuch for a genuine bar sprayed" <--- more expensive.. more likely for you to walk away coz its too expensive

but yeh who knows.
looks like after market bar from here..

if u paid them take it back and ASK why isnt it sitting right.
