Huge Bumper Problem (pic)

Im Back Fellas......

On the freeway i hit a seemingly huge tire, did not see it,
so imo unavoidable.
So im in the Need of help folks: suggestions, new kit, stock kit.
If any1 has a spare OEM bumper i can buy or know of any front kits
that'll look nice, please dont bring up the black widow kit....

Before



After

.... buff it out?

but seriously... thats a nasty hit. I agree w/ jstoops, check underneath if you haven't already.

and imo, oem bumper w/ ww lip looks best on silver 1G CL

yup yup im aware of the ww lip w/ the oem bumper but i looked on ebay
and the ONLY oem bumper was around $300, just for the bumper, and wasnt even new, a large cut near the headlights and still at a large cost....
plus i definitly would want a ww lip if i was going forit but the lip will cost me a couple bills too, so im lookin at 450-600 minimum to repair, thats why im in need guys....

ouch.

fiberglass for the ultimate loss.

Like the others say, oem bumper.

If you want to go all out though.

I'd suggest for your CL, a BOMEX Accord Front and Rear Bumper.

I've always loved this kit...

Once again though, you'd be going with Fiberglass, something I'm against.

your kit was fiberglass rite? if it was polyurethane would the damage have come out differently? (like it wouldn't have just ripped away like that)


a genuine curious question. Sorry to hear that happened. Sucks majorly.

Ouch that sux bro! That must have been one pretty big tire. If anything I would consider just getting a stock bumper for now at least. Or if you feel like another project ever consider the R33 skyline front end for the accord or maybe even the Euro R Accord jdm front clip? Just an idea

Fiber glass is as durable as, well.... glass. Polyurethane is as durable as, uhh.... Urethane!

They're gonna repair the whole front back to normal? I'd say get it redone in urethane so that next time it wouldn't shatter like that

That's good dude. The front of your car is my favorite than anyone elses. (no offense guys) I shat a brick when I saw that car in one of the photograph galleries. Glad your fixing it, good luck!
