$560 to spend on a rear bumper-- Suggestions???
Car in question: White 4Dr 95 Civic LX
Got rear-ended this weekend and the lady didn't want to claim on insurance so I'm getting a check. I need a new rear bumper and the body shop quoted $560 for a new OEM bumper and paint, etc. ($300 for the bumper and $200 to paint it) So I'm thinking maybe get a Body Kit bumper and go for a stock improvement? Or maybe just get a cheaper OEM (ebay) and some lips and side skirts? Which rear bumper do you guys like? I've never looked for these before.. So far I've found these but I can't make up my mind Are there others you would recommend? best prices? shoot all your suggestions my way thx |

i'd get a knock off from ebay or a used oe from a jyard and then maybe a rear lip
that would be under 500 either way I dont like any of those body kit ones |

i personally think you should keep the stock look. unless you going for show. then get a whole complete kit. even if you have to mix kit.
just do us all a favor: dont buy the kit and put it on your car, till its painted!

if I go the stock route and get a lip (front/rear) any recommendations? I see lots of the Type R and Mugen. Any preferences between the 2? They both look nice to me but it's hard to tell w/o seeing it on a car.
any other lips or bumpers I should look at? thx |
