    88-89 USDM bumpers have the indention where people often pin stripe it. The 88-89 front bumper lenses are different than the 90-91 ones too and they have 2 different stock front lips .

    A follow up question: What year JDM bumpers and moldings have the indention for a pin stripe? I've seen different years listen when they're for sale, but i've seen the same years with no indention...

    I thought all the JDM bumpers had the indention. My front end is like that but I would like for the rest to match.

    You need 88-89 molding (or any year jdm molding), but good luck finding it. I been looking some for about year now LOL Can't buy it new anymore (this what I heard), and I can never find a hatch in the junkyard. Plus, people that have some forsale want $200+ for it because of its rarity.

    Difference between the 88/89 usdm and jdm molding is the jdm molding is thinner.

    This is true. The 88/89 jdm bumpers are basically the same as 88/89 usdm bumpers. The only difference is the rear bumper. The rear bumper is shorter and shaped differently.




    (notice how far the exhaust tip poke out with this ef3 bumper on my hatch)

    The 90up bumpers are totally different. The JDM "facelift" bumper has the groove for the pin strip and different bumper lens and requires a different hood, headlights, and filler piece.



    compared to the usdm counterpart.
