The Ever Laglaging bumper of Honda 96-98 Vti's and Lxi's

[JCBalunsat]

It seems to me that these cars have a tendency of loosing alignment when it comes to bumpers. Does this problem have a permanent fix? Where do you bring it to fix this problem? Nakakainis na kasi. Pumapangit yung kotse pag ganito. Recommend naman kayo kung ano dapat gawin and san pwede ipagawa.
(East area if possible e.g. Marikina, Cainta, Cubao etc.)

hinahayaan ko na lang

The problem is that the models released there basically just have bumper covers and no real bumper (hard solid or collapsible material to absorb impact). Ang alam ko the mounting points of the Honda Civic bumpers are simple tabs on the corners, near the grille and at the bottom of the bumpers by the radiator support. So in that case the bumper covers have nothing to fall back to.

[JCBalunsat]

So wala na ba tayong magagawa pa?

iyong sa akin nilagyan lang ng panibagong washer nung nag palinis ako ng headlights. actually parang piso pa nga ginamit niya. nag drill lang siya tapos salpak kaya ayos na naman

[Cobalt Blue]

[JCBalunsat]

ano itsura nung nut and bolt? san ka nakabili? lumapat din ba nung naglagay k ng nut and bolt?

[Cobalt Blue]

Plastic lang ang bolt at sobrang lambot ng bumper ng Civic what i hate about it most is that when you have to change something such as horns kailangan ibaba kaya pag balik baka hindi na align

That's the gap that I want to eliminate. Gusto ko lapat na lapat. Walang sabit ika nga. hehehe.

sorry bro, iba na oto namin ngyn e. maliit lng yng nut and bolt na ginamit ko nun. if i remember correctly, mga half inch yng diameter nung ulo ng bolt tpos mga 1 inch lng sya kahaba. tpos ngtry na lng kmi ng mga nut na kasya. try mo sa mga motorcycle shops. usually kse madami sila mga nut and bolt na iba iba sizes...

I guess there are two solutions, one is temporary:

1. Affix the bumpers permanently or more firmly with the use of nuts and bolts. This, however, will not solve the added wear and tear on the joints that hold the bumper cover to the body itself.

2. Get the actual bumpers (the actual solid material inside the bumper covers), install them and use them for support in tandem with the nuts and bolts fix above. This will prevent them from sagging, hopefully, if the bumpers are still in good shape. Otherwise getting a brand new or good used surplus is your next best solution.

While you're at it fix the headlamps, horns, etc that all lie inside them or that can be accessed only with the bumper covers removed, to avoid unnecessary removal in the near future.

Good thing it's just the rear bumper that I have a problem with.
