Custom Front bumper

Hi, i searched the threads and came up with info about lip kits, but has anyone tried installing a accord bumper onto our 97 cl's ? I am thinking of taking an integra bodykit and using a cutting wheel to shape and fit the front bumper onto our car. the front end looks almost like the accord bumper (with the front grill cut off) but please let me know if anyone has tried this before. also if anyone has installed an JDM integra front end. thanks for the info

ive got a distinct feeling the teggy bumper will be much smaller than the accord one.

also, i also have a distinct feeling that if you go through with this its going to look sucky.

Good luck though if thats your decision.

that looks good because it actually mirrors the lines of the hood. I don't think it would look nearly as good on the 97 grill because it wouldn't be accented by the verticle slats the way this one is.

To echo: what kit is that, has anyone attached it?

IMO, i kinda like the the front...dont like the side and rear...kinda too much, but cuz it match the front its A-OK to me.

I was gonna finish the whole thing...but i've been so busy at work, i dont when imma finish what i was planning to do, so this is just a sneak peek. Dont worry guys imma have wallpaper once its done.

BTW, for some of you that dont know already...this is a Buddy Club 2 kit.
