Type S rep front lip or Front sport bumper?

Hi,

I recently picked up sport sides and rear for discounted prices but, I have yet to strike a deal as good on the front bumper. How do you guys like the sport kit matched with the type s style lip? I don't mind saving up a bit for the front bumper but, the price difference for a rep type s lip compared to the sport bumper is quite tempting.

And what else do you need for the sport bumper like fog light trim lower grill or does it come with everything ?? (I'm saving up for the bumper IMO way better than lip)

don't buy replica crap, the last thing we need is the TSX market flooded with ebay replica kits ruining this car


stick with OEM goodies

The sport sides were off ebay. Brand new but only had them in PMM. it was $230 shipped.

Got the rear brand new for $325 shipped.

I think I will just shell out the cash for the oem sport bumper rather than the rep type s lip.

I never purchased a replica part for my S2k so I was kinda against it for the TSX as well. But I wish the bumper was a bit cheaper. Lowest price I found was $671 shipped. Not too bad.

sport front or JDP front lip.

I narrowed it down to those two options.
I think the sport front looks best white but, I have PMM paint.

Im leaning toward the JDP due to cost of fiberglass version and paint.

Quick shots from after work. Decided to stop at a car wash to snap photos.

I'll try to get day shots. Not the best photographer here. Car is mostly stock.
Dropped on H&R springs just an FYI.

Thank You, done with buying for the car atm.
Next year want wheels and depending on looks of that with the drop springs I may get a good set of coilovers and call it a day.

Remember the bumper is only a direct fit on 9-10. After that you need the early grilles and fogs.

Noob question. Are the "sport" bumpers from the V6 or were they part of a sport package? Seems all of the acura parts sites shuffle you to base, Tech or V6 but I haven't seen a sport designation

It's a package you have to order and put on the car. The v6 includes bigger wheels but thats it really.
