Ok this is just a warning...I have found a guy selling a front urethane bumper for the accord and Hopefully I'll be going to pick it up and make sure it's what I want in an hour or less....and for $80 you can't beat that. since my front lip was destroyed..I just stumbled across this

its nice even tho for now it's red....it's straight bolt on and fit perfect..no gap no nothing...tomorow me and my buddy will be sanding it down and priming it..probably take it to maaco or something for paint since it's just a bumper

I like the way it looks, close to stock i just have to go to the junkyard and find the 94-95 bumper lenses.....xenon did a weird thing by putting holes only big enough for those year lights instead of the 96-97

As long as the prep work is done right...all macco has to do is spray it...should hold up.

i've heard for the most part it's not the paint that mainly sucks at maaco but the prep work that causes it to flake
still i may fine a better place and get priced at one of those places

there is a shop around here that asked me $175 to have my bumper painted, and $600 for the whole car.

Upon reading the thread title and the huge smiley face icon..I thought this thread would be about you finding a girl. Then to see "Ok this is just a warning...I have found a guy" I had crazy thoughts for a brief second or two... Whoa, that was hardcore. :paranoid:

To respond to the thread, A) the new bumper looks nice. B) that lip was sexy and C) I still like your car better before the bumper. Simplicity at its finest.
