    Hello, tulong lng po. Stock kasi bumper ng 97 civic ko. Gusto ko sana tanggalin yung black na molding sa bumper. Gusto ko sana parang sa SIR flat lng. Puwede ba yun? or kailangan magpalit ng bumper? Tsaka saan puwedeng ipagawa? Around qc or manila po. Thanks.

    Black na molding? You mean the rubber bumper protectors? Pwede cguro DIY yan, it may involve sanding and repainting though if paint gets chipped off.

    Go the D.I.Y route or ask a repair shop to do it for you. Remove the mouldings and fill the blank space with plastic filler as needed. Followed by lots of sanding and definitely a repaint. The bumper might look odd afterwards (at least to me).

    If you want to replace the bumpers instead, there are lots of surplus parts around. At the same time, you might as well sell/trade-in your old bumpers, while you're at it. Take note, if you want to change the front and rear bumper to match, you also need to change the front headlights since your current headlights are NOT designed to fit to the redesigned bumpers. ONLY the redesigned headlights will fit perfectly with the redesigned bumpers.

    there are a number of good shops that can do this mod for you if you don't want to take the DIY route, saang area ba gusto mo?

    number001, you're already talking about the SiR look conversion, if you will change the front bumper, it won't be just the HL that you need to change, the grille is different too, as well as the front fenders. then you'll have to do the rear end as well else it will look "barok". you need to change the entire trunk lid and taillights. shops do the entire conversion for about 25k (trade-in stock parts), plus repaint

    oo nga kung matiaga kang magputty ng bumper mo kayang kaya mo yan tapos parepaint mo na lang sa shop para oks. tanggal ng molding then linis ng konti tapos putty o bondo mo yung bumper mo para pumantay tapos sand it para kuminis yung bondo mo tapos sand buong bumper para prep sa paint then paint mo ng polyprimer, base coat then clearcoat tapos kabit mo na ulit bumper mo then kuha ka ng pics then post mo dito before and after bosing
