Love the white sedans! Glad you got something that is family functional. Please the wife, she'll please you. Wanna see this thing with goodies exploiting the exterior. You could do some swapping of the interior to Si maybe, that'd be sweet.

I don't know bro... that bumper looks oem. Did you order the lip from honda?

**JohnS.** · 11-14-2011, 08:41 AM

Bumper might look OEM but that doesn't mean it's OEM. A lot of aftermarket OE replacements look identical to their counter parts from the stealership. It might be a shadow or lighting but it looks like the front bumper is a different color in that first picture.

My brother has a white 06 sedan. I think the paint sucks on the 8th gens. He never takes care of it (wash or wax) and the clear coat is flaking off, the body panels are starting to look different colors....it's horrendous. I can't recall if he ever took care of his 6th gen (my car that I own now) but my paint is no where near as bad (color and flaking wise. The car has a s*** ton of dents and rock chips though).

I got the lip through Honda. Actually through Toyota ( i get 10% discount through any dealership by going through Toyota) but they said they'd order it through Honda. I looked again and didn't see Honda stamped. I'll call them today and see what they say. The paint doesn't even match. But I'll have to take it out of the garage to really see. I'll post some pics in a bit.

I started taping up the rear for some plasti-dipping and my wife came out saying " I thought I told you the black looked ugly!" so I had to stop haha

so it is oem! phew..so is the bumper, but the fitment is a hair off..not really noticable at all..the paint i figured is just because of the age of the two..the lip being recently painted vs the body being painted awhile ago..just doesn't look at glossy as the body..im wondering if the person who painted the car used the correct formula when painting the car (accident)

that lip adds a nice touch to the car.

Really not a fan of 8th gens, but this is pretty clean and nice.

I like it.

dj_hallucn8 · 11-14-2011, 05:41 PM

Need one for the rear, those are hubcaps correct?

2slo4u · 11-14-2011, 05:48 PM

Yes sadly they are only caps. I want the 05-06 type s wheels but I'm in no rush for wheels since we'll be taking this at to school. I want to get the rear HFP lip as well. I almost ordered it but I figured I'd put the money in savings instead. So I might just paint the inner-bottom of the bumper.

Little update. Plasti-Dipped the rear bumper a little.
