7 Attachment(s)
Hey guys, I might be the first one in Ontario, and even USA to have Acura EL rear bumper on a 96' SI. I've seen a 98 SI from british colombia sporting one of these bumpers featured in Honda-Tuning magazine.

I also decided to mount my new wheels on in the rear. i am awaiting a shipement for my front wheels to arrive.

Thanks guys! I actualy tinted my tailights, the inner portion only with vinyl tint.

I did paint the rear bumper it was orginally green. If your bumper is dull try buffing it out man. If it is really really bad maybe wetsanding with 1500-2000grit may be necessary. Other than that just a good buffing with compound followed my a deep generous wax job should bring up the appearance.

LOL don't worry man, it's the center indentation along the bumper, ending in a triangular shape at the sides of the bumper. The original did not have that at all just plain.
