I swapped them out. The j's needs little work to make it fit right. Im guessing its a replica because its urethane, and its a full bumper. It also will be getting a new paint job, because whoever did his, didnt do a good job, and im anal about that kind of stuff. Well, heres some quick pics with my phone:






Does the Honda emblem look straight???

 

The emblem is to the left of the center of the car.

 

dude that honestly looks pretty bad. i hope you can get that fitment corrected.

 

The fitment isnt even that bad, what are you talking about? But its urethane, so its pretty flexable. I already talked to my guy whos going to fix it for me, and he said it will be perfect. Luckily i just stuck on the emblem with double sided adhesive, so ill fix that when its light outside again.

 

yea the color of the paint job on the bumper is really off really dark red.....

 

all i know is stock bumpers don't flex or come off the car at high speeds.

 

Looks pretty bad to me, too, but I hope you can get it fixed.

 

The reason the paint looks different is because i used my treo 650 to take the pic, lol. In person its a perfect match. Also in person you can see what im talking about with fitment, its not that bad. But everything will be perfect in a month or so, so no worries.

 

The reason why i can't stand the j's replica bumper is because of all the ripples. I don't believe it is an issue of paint because everyone that has this bumper has the same problems. Ripples everywhere! I think its just the mold, it nots smooth at all. Please get your stock bumper back.

 

Ripples? I havent noticed any ripples on the bumper. What i mean by a shitty paint job is that the paint is flaking off in spots. Its like the painter didnt primer the bumper, and the paint isnt sticking well. Once i get everything fitted and painted ill take better pictures with a real camera. Im pretty happy with it overall so far, and once i get it fitted and repainted, it will be perfect.
