I recently cracked my rear bumper, and looking for a replacement. I love the stock look, and was planning on a Type-R front and rear lip for my 98 Civic SI(EX in US), but decided I want to go with a aftermarket bumper. Style wise I don't want nothing to extreme. I came across the Bomber (1st pick) and the Buddy Club. Just looking for some suggestions, pics or links would be great.

 

Buddy Club and Buddy Club 2 are both really subtle looking but really sick, but if you want the most subtle look, get a new stock bumper and then put a Type-R or Mugen real lip on it. That makes it look really clean, but still give you a little extra look.

Also, if you ever want to sell your car you're probably gonna watn to put hte stock bumper back on it, so replacing your cracked OEM bumper with an aftermarket one probbaly wouldnt be a good idea (i know where you're coming from, i want to do the same thing when i messed up my front bumper)

 

Right on, thanks for the suggestions. It's a tough decision about going back to stock. Heck, its smashed I can get somthing with a different style, or go back to OEM... I guess it comes down to keeping my car, or sell it in the next little while. I think im gonna keep it though, I love my civic[sm=smiley20.gif] I got my eyes on the Bomber rear, and that will probably be my choice, unless some more suggestions arise! Thanks again!

 

also, if you live in an area with snow, youre going to want to take the body kit off during the winter anyway. But you can actually find some really aggressive lip kits, so i say buy the new stock bumper and then get a lip for it, you wont regret it.

 

Your going to have to get side skirts and a front lip that go with the rear bumper, the size will be alot different so you got to make up for it. I would getthem the same time as the rear bumper.

 

thats true ^ and with a lip kit the stock skirts flow well with the kit

 

Thank you for the imput. Mill$civic made my decision with his input. Today I'm ordering the Type-R Lip kit and grille, and tomorrow i'm gonna get the bodyshop to get me a OEM rear bumper. I'll post pix forsure!
