someone just went to grammer town and burned down city hall..... try black dragon/victoria british. they have direct fit bumper covers. imo, anyting other than stock or IMSA really kills the lines the cars has and makes the rest of the car look dated rather than classic.

The internet was supposed to bring about great knowledge to the masses... but this is the reality of what the internet has done to our youth.

Thanks Al Gore :bigthumb:

Meh, but he has the right idea. My favorite is the black one with the integra front bumper and shaved rear with the TSW Revo rims.

Let do a quick seach of my pics and see if I can pull it up.

i did an 89 integra bumper on my old gsl-se. it was pretty clean looking. even had the mariah style gap between the bumper and header panel.

that car was for sale in GA in autotrader years ago. it looks DAMN good. in my opinion, the best two bumpers for the FB would be the integra and the IMSA. the IMSA is rare and hard to find and well, integras arent. i just bought a BRAND NEW IMSA bumper yesterday. it was pricey, but worth it to me. if i hadnt of done that, the integra would definately have been the way i went.

also, +1 for the shaved rear bumper, just dont get rearended

thanks guys for your post.. can you find any pictures of the 7 w/ the front of it swapped.. i would love to see the front of a 7 with a integra bumper.. even though i hate integras an civics with a holy passion, maybe itll look different on the 7 lol.. now that picture of the black seven above, what year is that integra front bumper? and correct me if im wrong, but i thought that front bemper has the circle lights, what would happen with the 7's flip lights, or did they cut that part out of the bumper an left the bottom?

IMO, putting another cars bumper on, esp an integar is just plain weired. Why would you do it? If you want an integar or honda or whatever, go buy one. No offense, but I feel that we all here have something in common: A piece of sports car history that is sooo original we may never see produced again, why try to alter this in such an extreme way? Again, this is just my opinion and please don't take too much offense to it.

Well, here's a pic of my car w/ an aftermarket front bumper that looks pretty good. It would look better if the previous idiot of an owner didn't paint it w/ house paint ;).
