Cracked bumper!
 
Ok so i just saw that i have a nice crack in the right front part of my bumper

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_lJRrQAwr2Oc/S5...0/IMG_9591.jpg

Since i plan on getting a JDM bumper anyways should i invest in one now or get a cheap american bumper? thanks

if your gonna invest in one later, i would say cheap out on this one untill you get one.. no since in buying 2..

ideas for fixing it.. drill 2 small holes (1 on top of crack, one on bottom) and just put a small zip tie in between it, if its white, it shouldnt be too noticable.. either that or buy white duck tape.. you can also try taping it from the back too so its not noticable

Josh those are good ideas but, it doesn't even mount to the fender anymore...

I would brake down and spend the money for nice bumper.
I would not buy one from Honda of America, i bought a new rear bumper from Honad, not only did my rear OEM JDM CTR lip did not fit right but there was a sticker inside that said,
Made in mexico.

Just buy a used CTR white bumper with lip and grill, you could easily find one for $300.00.

Dang dude, someone jacked your stuff up.

+1, get a new bumper. Save the lip. Maybe try your local Craigslist. Might get lucky and find someone parting a white civic.

but if you alredy plan on getting a new one soon, why not just ghetto this one untill you get a new one???

that thing is jacked up. see if you can get one used on craigslist or something. when do you plan to get the jdm bumper? do you have enough money on getting one now or are you saving up?

My civic aint White, its i believe 2003 or 2005 Honda Element Khaki hah
The JDM was going to be sometime this summer after my other little projects i needed to do, but looks like i should pay the cash to get me a Password: JDM SI-R bumper...

What did you bump sir? I can't help but notice your lip is scared up on the same side as the crack. Evil parking blocks?

I'd rip off the bumper, and seal up the back half of the bumper for now. You'd still see a crack, but it woulnd't just be hanging.

im with stoopid.... i woudl hate to see you buy a new one only to sell it later..
