New rear bumper
Looking to buy a new rear bumper. I was going to get an oem from Honda but they don't come painted apparently. I've tried searching on here but nothing came up, if anyone has any suggestions of what would look good. Have an 05 AP2 Suzuka blue stock exhaust. I'd prefer for it to already come painted but if the price is decent I don't mind. Also the body is stock except for a front lip.

You're not going to find any new aftermarket rear bumper painted Suzuka blue, and it will be hard to find a used one (trust me I know, i've looked on here for a long time and ended up getting a different color one, and getting it painted). I would just stick to the ap2 rear, it looks good, fits good, goes with the OEM exhaust perfectly, ect..
I know on ebay sometimes you can get an OEM bumper, and they will paint it for you whatever color you want. Then again it most likely won't be a perfect match since Suzuka is sorta hardt to match, and paint fades over time. My body shop had to re-do my bumpers because they were slightly to dark, so they re-did them and look perfect. I say just keep an eye out on here for any color ap2 rear, then get it painted to match your S.

most good shop will ask you to left your car for color match, or at least a gas door.

If he found an OEM Suzuka bumper the match will be dead on. If he has to get a bumper painted, yes it would be best to just leave them the car to see the color match. When I got mine done the body shop had my car, and did my front and rear bumpers at the same time. They put it up to the car and was to dark the first time, then they tinted the paint and then tried again, and it's perfect. Also a bumper is very easy not to scratch or anything during shipping if packed right.
