before and after of the new bumper.

[GetFRESH!]

what is outside the box about a cwest bumper? i'm not saying i dont like it... but that is still WELL inside the box if you ask me.. but that also could be my 5 years in a '99 Si talking.. where it seemed like just about every other EM1 had a cwest bumper

<---spent 4 years in a '99 ej8. I get it too man. I wasn't saying it was like something nobody's ever done... I'm very aware of the prominence of the C-West bumper. It's just that as of late, no one seems to want to try to rock anything but the oem front cause otherwise it wouldn't be "jdm" enough or would just be ricey or whatnot. Just seems to be a little tiptoe away from that. Still technically "in the box"... just off in its own little corner, you know?

exactly..........as far as "JDM" goes, you cant get anymore JDM than this. they was out of stock and this is fresh off the boat or plane. i know everyone uses the term "JDM" to descibe every thing stock about a civic but to me it's "OEM".

i'll agree to that..

i know what you mean about this bumper not being new. i think what he was talking about was the oem front.

it still looks awesome... it was the only exterior "bodykit" mod i even considered doing to my EM1
