civic front bumper on a celica - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #15401 40 posts Started by Tru_Pol
Does anyone know how wide a civic or accord front bumper is?? I was thinking of buying a black widow, R34, or a few other options then cutting the top of the bumper off, then taking my celica front bumper and cutting it in half and using my top half and the bottom half of the civic bumper for a different look.. It would take some time but would this work????
I just dont care for any of the bumpers that are out there....Looking for something different!

I'm not sure...you might go to your local import shop(if you have one) and see if they have some kits that you could look at, to try to find something that will work for you. >smile.gif>

Yes, very interesting. Please do elaborate Shid.
Turboinduction bought the kit; there was a post about it a couple months ago.. I dont think it's come in and been fitted yet; so he didn't want to give the web address out yet (as there are no pictures of fitment, etc) so basically, he didn't want a bunch of people to get scammed if he did...

Edit: I just checked the link Turbo gave me- and the kits are gone from the list!!!!

This confuses me, as Turbo called them to be sure it was the real deal; and bought it!

I've sent him a PM on the matter.

the civic bumper isnt wide enough, has to get cut and extended a couple of inches. that guy from the UK put a Mugen lip on his gt4 said he had to get it cut and extended

It wont matter what front bumper u get, whether if its for the civic, accord or eclipse or whatever. If u look at those cars, the bumper extends out into the fender and wraps around, but our cars dont. Whatever u get, ur gonna have to cut and extend the bumper.

if i do recall a member from this site used a integra front lip and used it on his celica. so if the front lips fit then they width of the cars shouldnt be that different.
I am for custom work and all, but a civic front end on our car? Isnt that like putting Rosie O'Donnell's face on Pamela Anderson's body?
