Default Urethene bumper..

I bought a buddy club urethene bumper like 4 weeks ago from ExtremeDimensions.com and im getting it tomorrow morning. I was just wondering urethene bumpers are usually a perfect fit right? I have a 95 civic 4dr and the fiberglass buddyclub front bumper that I bought awhile ago I had to cut a whole bunch to get it to fit. But then again my fiberglass back bumper was a perfect fit. Do they vary with fiberglass? I'm just hoping my front bumper is a perfect fit because i hate cutting it because its never perfect.

Also, for some reason my fiberglass back bumper is a lot higher than my fiberglass front bumper...the back bumper is basically the same size my stock back bumper was. I thought that was pretty strange..You can tell by the pics that my back is alot higher. Hopefully my new front is going to be higher also so I can put my stock sides on..because I think my car is a little tooo low. I scrape everywhere.

Not sure about that, but fiberglass, although cheap and brittle, would be a little easier to work with in terms of modifying it (I would assume).

Nice clean sedan, should paint the door handles and shave or paint the moldings body color.

ihad the whole buddy club fiberglass kit i wish they had produced a urathane bumper when i bought mine. i had to cut it alot and it cracks easily if you scrape as for the fit, theres a little more give in the urathan ones..but mine still fit..... urathane is good for lower cars especuially if you knwo your going to be scrapping it'll save yuor bumper..

Nice looking sedan. I don't know anyone that has a urethane front bumper, but I can guess that the fitment would be a lot easier compared to fiberglass.

The one thing that irritates me about buddy club front bumpers is that most of them look like tables. Compare the distance between the front edge and where the headlight meets the bumper. Doesn't it look like a lot of space? Hopefully the urethane piece isn't like that. Let me know once you get it.

Most of the rear bumpers that I know of are pretty high. I think that's a good thing because that's one less thing to worry about scraping. But a really low bumper is the Black Widow rear. I think because it has to match the real low sides as well.

make sure they use a flex additive or you'll hate it.
