2000 GS-R, Destroyed Bumper Question..

tbrazzy-s3 · Post by **tbrazzy-s3** » Fri May 08, 2009 1:09 pm

Ok, some of you have seen the pictures of my car + drunk driver in large truck = large amounts of damage to my vehicle and irrevocable emotional and financial trauma. So on and so forth

Anyways, My car had the Lip, Side skirts, etc (I believe it was an optional feature.) and I wanted to know if that means a stock integra bumper will be different than the rest of my car. Car goes into the shop on Monday, and im starting to worry.

If so, can I buy just the back of the kit?

Idiot question, I know. But I'm new so can't help it i guess.

Bumpers are the same. The Optional Kit... good luck. Acura discontinued it about 5 years ago as it was an accesorry.

The kit is fine. The DS rear valance is a little scuffed. Just tell them to repaint it and put it on the new bumber.

Heidth would be me reverting back to my "southern-missouri-esque" vocabulary and spelling in a moment of weakness. My sleep deprived state may have contributed.

Rear valances like the ones here? Would solve your problem if you don't want to repair what you have.
