I got this new bumper becaue my local acura dealer pulled my original bumper off while going on an alignment rack that was too high. I went to pick up my car today, the first thing I notice was that it looks different. I notice they painted some areas that they won't surpose to. I look at it for a few minutes and decided I like it so I too the car home. What do you guys think?






old

 

Yep I really like the look of that painted. My car is black so it doesn't matter anyways. If my car were any other color I'd have the black unpainted areas color matched.

 

yea man, the new bumper looks hot. now i want one

 

Looks a lot better.

 

i had my bumper painted the same way......looks ALOT better

 

Looks better, imo. 03's are like that stock.

 

looks alot better

 

geeze i really want one now. does anyone know if it would be cheaper to get an 03 front bumper, or to paint the rest of my 01 bumper?

 

prob. paint would be cheaper unless you find someone to switch bumpers with you....which is highly unlikely. just paint it.

BTW i really like that your car is lookin better everytime i see it on this forum

 

I like the look of the new painted bumper. BTW - what happened to the CF hood?

 

in the fourth picture, is your CF hood messed up in the front or is it the angle of the shot. I wanted to buy one but if thats the result down the road, i will think twice about it. hoping its the angle of the shot

 

My Carbon fiber hood is in the garage. I installed the original hood so i can tell if the new bumper paint is different. m&b6speed, that white area in the front is just reflexsion.

 

i dont see a difference

 

Darrin look at the plastic portion, in the 03's the vertical posts and part of the lower grill is painted, in the 01-02 they are not. Minor difference, but imo it looks better painted.

 

When someone backed into my front end and I had to have it replaced. Mine turned out the same, it was painted in those areas too. I just thought the shop was nice and did it or didn't know what was supposed to be painted. It might just of been an 03 bumper. I didn't know they came painted that way. I have black and I like it better also, but people who do have colored cars, it makes it look alot better.

 

Just make sure you get one of this as loaner!

 

I like it alot better

 

dude paint your side mirrors
