nahledge · 04-11-2007, 06:25 PM

looks better.

.
I need to do this to my front bumper on my DC.

chow · 04-11-2007, 06:31 PM

looking good

mjsotelo91 · 04-17-2007, 08:41 PM

Nice, one of those plastic peice of crap bolts has broken on my bumper so im going to try doing what u did

wrEcKed_LX · 04-17-2007, 09:26 PM

Bump for a pretty easy fix! I got an OEM lip for my 98 sedan the other day and the gaps finally got to me. So while the bumper was off I took a rubber mallet and tapped the mounting tabs up. Sits nice and tight and the Si-R lip looks amazing.

yoohoo · 04-17-2007, 10:10 PM

just curious is this possible for a prelude?

BlackoutVTi · 04-17-2007, 10:26 PM

Don't worry about it. This is a really non-mechanical job, don't bother asking, just try it out. It'll probably work for most cars in general.

Genuine Rolla · 04-21-2007, 05:46 PM

how are you guys able to hold the top of the bolt so that it doesn't spin when you tighten the nut..?

uneek360 · 04-21-2007, 05:53 PM

mines didn't spin.

YoungKadafi · 04-21-2007, 06:32 PM

this is why I put my body kit back on, because the nut digs into the 3 layer JDM fiberglass, and acts like a lok'ed out washer. Oh and the body kit was from Oshkosh wisconsin, so you knowz its filled with JDM mugen bling bling.

cant F with that kinda fitment.

i still dont get it

i dont get the flush before and after pics? what does flush mean?

wrEcKed_LX · 04-22-2007, 11:38 AM

I hope you're kidding drift_n_shift. but by a long-shot that you're not flush means sitting tight up against something else, i.e. very little or no gap

tyre_meets_mud · 04-23-2007, 08:22 PM

Not the kinda "flush" you'd do after goin to the toilet either

kenny7 · 04-24-2007, 02:54 PM

so do you only use one new bolt each side??wat about where the side meets the indicator lense does it be flush there with just one bolt at the end?

yes just 1 bolt it pulls everything together just out and try it

J K R · 05-06-2007, 06:42 PM

A friend and I just did this to my '00 bumper because there was a huge gap...replaced the plastic thing and screw with a bolt, nut, and washers like how you guys did. All I can is I am very satisfied with the results.

So, it looks like this has helped quite a few people

I was getting PM's every now and then stating the pics were not showing up. Well, no more worries about that. We-todd is out and Photobucket has now taken over

Manolo · 06-14-2007, 09:47 PM

Good question! I need to fix the back of my Sol, the bumper sags too low.

It's the same principal. I have the hardware for the rear. The car is disassembled at this time, but I do have pics. I will look at them and see what I can post to help fix the rear

JarvisW · 07-05-2007, 04:33 AM

Well, I found out my problem was all the nuts holding the bumper to the trunk were loose

BTW if you need the rubber gaskets that go between the bumper and the trunk, I found them at Lowes for 2 for $0.90 where Honda wants almost $3 EACH!!

But I did this trick to where the bumper meets the car at the wheel wells and it looks pretty nice. But my bumper is probably the worst shape body piece on my car lol. But the trick helps it look a bit better
