Okay, my buddy and I tried to put the jdm bumper on, but we couldn't get it to fit on the car (06 tsx) after so many attempts. We then, begin to question whether the bumper is an actual tsx bumper or not. Could someone chime in please because I really want to run my setup.

I think you're grill might be for an 04-05

 

[chikia12187]

it is, but the bumper won't fit my 2006 tsx! Any clue to why and oh as you can see, the oem parts fit perfectly fine on this bumper.

Where/how exactly is it not fitting? What is obstructing you?

 

[chikia12187]

It won't reach hmmm the grill holding area

From the pictures you provided, it does in fact appear to be an '04-'05 TSX bumper. It should fit your '06 without any problems at all.

Perhaps the styrofoam padding from the original car is still stuck inside the bumper. Check that. If that's not it, it may be the fact that it's a JDM bumper and might require the JDM crash bar.

Someone else chime in?

Yeah, i've had problems putting back on my 04-05 bumper because it wasn't reaching. And it was because of the styrofoam wasn't in its correct place. It could be something as simple as making sure that the styrofoam is in its correct position.

If I read this correctly this is an 04-05 JDM front bumper?

If thats correct you need the JDM bumper support as well. You may be able to modify the one you have but im not sure on that. All of the guys that do this swap use the JDM support.

Nice pickup though, GL on the install!

 

[chikia12187]

thanks guys!

 

[ILoveMyHonda]

thanks guys!

So what happened?? Did you figure it out?

 

[willy18]

You don't need a JDM support bar to install this bumper. I have it on my car and it fits perfectly. Just check the styrofoam and maybe tape it on to the support bar so it doesn't move around.

Word. On the tape .

 

[chikia12187]

Well, I'm gonna go with willy's tip and see if it will work thanks everyone!

 

[Mr. Modulo]

quick question, how are the headlights staying on the bumper like that? theres nothing bolted...


and those blue vstx :drool:....and is that a wald grill?

 

[chikia12187]

yessir, it is indeed wald grill and the blue vs-tx. I simply slide the clips into the lights

 

[Shotta06]

What part of Miami are you? You know anyone w/a Carbon Grey Pearl Front Bumper for a 08"

 

[BluLabelCL9]

Can I get the front bumper off your ABP when you part-out. Ohhh and the wheels. Think they'll go perfect with the window and door handle trims :grinno:
