Have a 94 civic ex , needs front bumper cover replaced(accident)
Have gone thru 5 web site after market places & ordered the front bumper , only to find that the bumper will not fit correctly , bumper fits from side to side good , but they all have been about 4-6 " too short (in hieght ) have returned them all , only to find out from all the company's that when they sell them every body has same problem ,,,,,, & returned them

Car is not been modified , all stock , no front end damage ,(except for tear in original front bumper ) due to minute accident ,

" Thought" I would have been able to get this part with no problem ,,,,,, so i tossed the origanal one away ,how very wrong I am , what a freakin circus

If any body has any info on this or is experienceing same & found a good one , please please please give a feed back

Can't drive car due to this dilemma, my emissions is due , car just sits now till I can find a remedy

Ps; all of aftermarket bumpers have been exactly the same problem , like a bad mold

Also have absolutely made sure that I am ordering exact part based on vin #

Thanks to all , loved that damn car , sucks , ijs
