      Aftermarket Bumpers/Lip kits

      Sorry to start a thread on this topic as it has been covered way too many times. I just want to take the time to rant at the damn fact our lovely EP3's never got the deserved loved it should.

      It seems every generation of the Civic has gotten love by aftermarket companies, with ABS this POLYPROPYLENE that and POLYURETHANE body parts.

      10 years now that our EP3's have been on the road, yet no JDM replica on before mentioned materials for Bumpers/Lips



      Thank you for your time

      Exactly why not make this same exact lip but in ABS/Urethane/Polyurethane etc etc etc. Anything but whack ass Fiberglass, that material sux. Rock chips/ Highway driving demolishes them

      I wouldn't mind spoon make a lip or back yard special make a bumper. All the older civics got a really nice selection.

      Fiberglass molds are cheaper, by a lot, and with the EP3 not being a huge seller most companies were probably worried about being able to sell enough to cover the extra expense of the molds. For instance, one of our Metton (a certain type of plastic) molds for a van running board costs about $100,000 because its made out of aluminum. One of our fiberglass molds for a Class A Motorhome (the bus style) will be anywhere in the $10,000 range and made out of tooling resin.
