Hey guys i just purchased this ep3 not too long ago, got a great deal and love it. (taffy white)

The first problem is the bumper was replaced and its chipped, every time i wash the car it chips even more in different places, its annoying. where could i get a decent paint job not a cheap crappy one that will chip again and could i just take the bumber to the paint shop the rest of the car is good.

Another thing is where could i find a good price jdm honda emblem set that will include the steering wheel emblem? my friends with 06-up si's got theres for alot cheaper than i see online wth?

anyways thats it for now.

As for the flaking paint, if it's only happening on the front bumper, you're better off trying to get just that repainted or else you will be shelling out some big $$ to repaint the entire thing.

the flaking is a clear sign that a shitty paint job was done previously. you should have the bumper repainted bc the flaking will get worse. if you bought the car used rom a dealership go in and throw up a shit storm of complaints. car dealerships will repaint bumpers (for as cheap as possible) to make the car look more attractive.
