2012 SE Bumper?

Will the 2012 SE Rear bumper fit a 2010? I called the dealer and they are not sure if it would fit. I dont think the dealer know anything, sad but true....

Yes it will fit, not sure if they come pre-painted like the aero/Modulo bumpers. If it is, check if your 2010 paint color is available in 2012 model year, otherwise you will need to order that SE bumper (which is the Type S/GT bumper in Europe and Japan) overseas.

A shop in Canada Speedstar import the bumper from Japan, it takes 4 to 6 weeks because they save on shipping by going via ocean freight.

Good luck.

Yeah, i just looked it up on bernardi. part number 04715-TL0-A80ZZ

But in the diagram, it doesn't look like the type-s bumper. perhaps just too new for new schematics but the same bumper?

Bellanova white pearl still sounds badass to me.

Thanks for the Bernardi info.

Funny thing though, you have to order the front and rear bumper unpainted (primer), but you can order the Type S/SE side skirt painted in (MILANO RED; ALABASTER SILVER METALLIC; WHITE ORCHID PEARL/BELLANOVA WHITE PEARL; CRYSTAL BLACK PEARL).

Positive, a number of 09/10 members has the Type S kit from Japan installed on their vehicle. Check out 5thTo2nd, S40driver post.

This is from 5thTo2nd post:

$278 is extremely cheap for a full bumper. The JDM CU2 Sport Rear Bumper alone cost $800 (sold by Speedstar). I'm tempted to get this and then get the JDM Type-S front lip later. Here's some pics from another forum.

I'm almost positive the 2011-12 rears will fit the 2009-10. It's really just a few bumper bolts and I'd be surprised if the placement of these bolts varied between the years. You can check out my install thread for pictures of the bolt locations.

Here's what the rear looks like on my CBP:

Shipping was that much? I was looking at the painted aero rear bumper on bernardi for $504. If shipping to CA was $250, then shipping to Texas would probably be slightly less at around $200. That kind of kills the deal for me. At that price I'll be better off going to the dealership.

^I guess Speedstar $800 prepainted bumper charge is not too much out of line. I think they quoted me $100 shipping cost within Canada, but Hawaii would definitely cost a lot more (no ground shipment available).

The Aero/Modulo bumper looks good too (I have that on myself), you may want to consider that alternative as they come paint-matched

Check out DCH ACURA OF TEMECULA, they are selling the front aero bumper on ebay for $550 and charge only $70 shipping to the lower 48 states.

Looks like when the listing was active(for the rear bumper) it was only for the 2009-2010 colors and they didnt have GLM. Maybe when they get it back in stock theyll have new colors!

Heres the link I found on another thread here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACURA-2009-2...632711&vxp=mtr

^Sent them an email or phone them for a quote on a 2011 GLM aero bumper, if the price and shipping cost is reasonable, then proceed. Or better yet, take their quote and see if your local dealer would price match and save yourself shipping cost.

i already have the type s front and side but need the rear. will the aero bumper match the set up or it would look off.

they are in MA. i called and asked shipping to NJ for the rear bumper, they said 110 to a commercial adress or 170 to a private adress. i think they have to freight ship it because of its size, and hawaii includes air freight because you can't ground ship on water

how much for the rear lip? is that bayson r the same dealer selling the whole type s lip kit on ebay? and i know whatchu mean, my rear and front bumpers have a few dings an scratches and when I went to the auto body shop their estimate was about the same price as the aero body kit...

those ebay sides are too bulky. take a look at defcons posts. you're better off getting the SE sides or aero sides. I think you should go with the SE bumper if you already have the SE front and sides.

So is the SE bumper on the 2012 the same front bumper as the "base" TSX for 2012? With just the addition of the front lip, rear lip and side skirts.....or is the whole bumper different on the SE?

Front bumper is the same on both SE and regular with the addition of the two front lips on the SE. Entire rear bumper is different on SE vs regular. SE also adds side skirts.
