Not that I have a 96-98 but what is under the rubber bits? Could you simply remove the rubber part altogether, bondo the gap and paint?
Was just thinking about it and that might be a cheaper, viable solution for some?

those rubber things may look ugly but they are there for protection
Well that may be true, but they arnt on the facelift bumpers, so . . . .
hmmm mayb coz honda thought they the rubber things did not look appealing. they relized it was ugly. hehe :D
There is a big gap there where the strip sits in and also there are holes that the pins on the back of the "plastic" not rubber strips clip into.Quote:

Was just a thought more than anything else - as a lot of owners with the 96-98 bumpers want to get rid of the strips. Oh well :)
For all those that PM'd me about pics, here they are. Im not sure if it's what you're all calling colour coding but hey, its all white to me :thumbsup:
(and yulps i know my car needs a lil teeny bit of a clean) :D

Turned out well. But the oem color coded molding looks different. It looks like it has a surface structure that is covered with a clearcoat.

I had mine colour coded. They look a LOT better.... though I do wish I had of decided to save instead and buy a kit, especially after discovering a giant crack in my front bumper :( Oh well, you live you learn. Anyone know about how much one of those nice bumpers without the strips would cost and from where they could be purchased? thanks
