Default Help Required - Accord 03 Bumper Fitness Question

Hello,

I got some minor and medium level of scratches on my accord sedan 03 front bumper. I am planning to replace it with the new one myself. During my search I have found this on ebay. But it is for coupe, I am just wondering will it fit for my sedan? Appreciate you’re your input on this.

It's gonna be much much cheaper to just get the scratches fixed if you can't do it yourself.

Thanks for your suggestion 98CoupeV6. I enquired in a body shop and they are asking $90.00 to fix it so I thought if I spent couple more I could get a new replacement

The bumper alone is $212 and it'll cost probably that much if not more to get it professionally painted and color matched to the condition of your paint. I don't think that's a small difference.

Default Thanks again

Thanks again for your reply 98CoupeV6. I found one that exactly matches with my car color in ebay link for $113.00. However it is for a 03-05 coupe, so my question is will it fit for my sedan?

Shipping is $99. 99 + 113 = 212. Why is your car painted plastic primer black? You're looking at at least $400-450 for an OEM look that wouldn't be easy to see.

I don't think it will fit easily, I believe the 7th generation coupe and sedan widths are different.

Thanks for your reply. You are right. Let me check with someother body shop about fixing the scratches.
