Auto Parts: Civic parts, honda civic ex coupe, salvage yard
QuestionHello, I have a 1994 Honda civic EX coupe and I was in a minor front end accident. I was wondering if you could help me find a black front bumper cover for it. I basically got the hood and fender punched back into usable condition (though still ugly) but 1/3 of my bumper cover is ripped of so I need to find that.
Thanks,
-Blake
Answer You need to go to a salvage yard. Find a big one and get them to "put it on the wire." Chances of finding one the right color are pretty slim, but maybe better with black. Painting a piece like that isn't tough, but you will need paint with a flex agent added so that the paint won't crack when the urethane component bends. There are a couple of spray-can vendors selling this stuff now.
