I currently own a used 1997 civc dx. A few months back I identically backed into a pole and cracked my rear bumper to the point where I would have to replace it. Since my car has a body kit, I had to search online until I found the same one which I found out was made by Vision Auto Dynamics.

Here's a link to what I need: VFiber Official Site-R96HC2BW-Honda Civic 96-00 2/4dr VFiber FRP Spyder 1-pc Rear Bumper

The only problem is, is that the shipping is about the same as the actual product. Is there anyway I could avoid the shipping costs or maybe should I take my car into a shop and see if they could possibly do something with it? I'd rather not have to pay the same rate for shipping as the actual product. I'm sure someone is selling the same product at local store since I see them all the time on the road.

 

Sadly that is life today. Even if a store has to order it for you they will most likely charge you freight.
See what a body shop says.

 

Shipping something that big and fragile will always cost a pretty penny. I say get an OEM bumper. Those body kits look horrible and usually take a lot of work to actually fit correctly.
