Went to get my car inspected today for emissions and noticed as the S went through the lane that the rear bumper looked like it had grease all over it. Upon further inspection, it is obvious that someone side-swipped my bumper sometime this week. I think the whole thing is going to have to be repainted so I'm thinking I might just upgrade it now. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Right now, I'm thinking of buying the ASM bumper or doing something like that to my bumper. Does anyone know the details on the ASM bumper? I had heard that it was technically just the bumper cover and that, due to more stringent crash guidelines in the US, the exposed area looks different.

 

do you have anything done to the front? like a lip or something? if not, i would think that your car would look weird with an aggressive rear and a stock ap1 front. but that's just me.

if the damage isn't that bad, i would recommend repainting it. it's just going to cost more to get a bling bling rear bumper and then shelling out another couple hundred bucks to have it painted.

sorry i couldn't suggest any actual upgrades for you. just something to think about. good luck with whatever decision you go with

 

I am planning on putting an airwalker lip and a splitter in the next couple months.

 

Garage defend is where its at for rear bumpers, esp if you have dont have side skirts. Im baised becuase i have it, but i think it looks good.

 

I like that bumper

 

have you considered j's racing?

 

Would that work with a stock exhaust?

 

IF i recall, the J's racing is a really high rising bump, it would work wiht a stock exhaust but probably look funny becuase of the gap. The car in the picture looks very nice, because it is dropped and has a lot done to it. How many visual mods do you have? IMO, the J's racing only goes well when you have a lot of mods, (side skirts, aggressive wing, etc.).

 

OEM. Afterall, it is JDM
