AAHHH, much nicer looking
Here is the part number and what the OEM frame looks like
Here is the back side once everything is bolted on. You can see the bottom special nut
This is the part number for the front bumper. I still can believe shipping is almost 3 times the cost of the bumper
Here is a picture of the rims i went with. They are Drag DR-21s' in flat black with Falken Ziex ZE-512 tires. I ordered them through Discount Tire Direct and spent $782.35. I ordered the Nankang Toursport NS-N605 tires but someone called me and said they were out of stock. They were nice enough and gave me the Falkens' for the price on the Nankangs'. which is sweet because the Falkens' have a lip that the edge of the rim sits into to help fight curb rash. The rims measure 15x4 with a +40 offset and the tires are 195/50r-15s. The tires only have a speed rating of up to 130 MPH. So, once i can find someone who is selling a manual transmission from a EX/Si (hint hint) i am gonna have to get different tires. I have been looking for a year and still cant find a transmission though.
Well, thats all for tonight. Tomorrow i am gonna head into the garage and started pulling the motor to install the clutch and put the OEM exhaust on for Echeck. Let me know what you think positive or negative.

The bumper and OEM goodness
Incase anyone wants a shot of the part number
These are the 5 bolts, 3 special nuts and lower bracket for the license plate holder
Obviously a $35 bumper isnt gonna be perfect but this is ridiculous
800 grit wet/dry sandpaper and my deburring tool later. Its not pretty but atleast I can get the bolts through now
This is the back of those hole. The 2 nipples are how the special nuts attach (thats what he said)
The easiest way to get them on without breaking the nipples is to use something that you can tap and let the nipple slide into. Man my posts are kinda kinky.
When you are all done this is the final result. I have to tap the nuts a little harder on the top to center them in the hole (this is getting out of hand sorry guys)
Here are the 2 upper mounts and bolts along with the lower bracket. The bracket has a single nut (that sucks) and bolt. The nut wraps around the ABS and has teeth that bite into it to hold it in place.
Dont forget to tap you holes fellas (giggity). The coating Honda uses on the lower bracket is either powder coating or a EMP coating. It was thick enough that i could even get the bolts started. M6x1.0 incase someone wanted to know.
