I have a 90 lx 2dr 5spd. i want to swap to a 93 front bumper; will it match up or r there some mods? I searched and couldnt find a DIY. I did find how to attach the Type-R lip I'm getting though.

IF its just the bumper i dont really see any modification needed or not that i know of. Grill and headlights are different so those might be an issue so im not sure.

Yes there is modification involved. As far as mounting goes, it will fit just like the '90-'91 but fitment is an issue. There is an area that protrudes at the grill because the '92-'93 grill is shorter. You can modify your current grill or the new bumper or just do a full '92-'93 front end.My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint.

For a best look, fitment and less work, get a 92/93 bumper, bumper support, headlights and grille.
Ur swap willbe a piece of cake (minor modifications).

That would probly be your best bet, because I dont think modifiying the grill is worth the trouble, or the bumper for that matter. Better off getting it all done right with the right parts.Originally posted by seigneur_rayden

Yeah, I just finished costing it out (all lights and Type-R lip included) and decided to go ahead and do the full swap. I just have to wait now on the rear bumper and fenders (door sleeves might wait too). Hail damage is a bitch!!!!!!!!! and i took it off the road last month and knock my bumper mounts and cover loose its just half assed right now. Thanks for the info guys. If youre goin to do it go all the way!Comment

I swaped the 92 bumper, grill, and head lights to my 90 and had no porblems and needed no mods.
Looked good.
Here are some pics B4 I did the bumper. (I did the mesh thing and didnt like it so I went with the 92 bumper)
BTW thats also the 92 hood.
Heres the mesh thing I did.
As you can see here. it looked like crap.
Here is the trunk lid and rear bumper from the 92.

Actually if you dont modify it theres gonna be a gap between the bumper and the grill which will make it look tacky. I dunno its up to you but i would keep the '91 Bumper and be unique and put my own magic to it.Current Car:
1991 Accord LX
Mods: STOCK!
Future Plans:
Better All Red Tailights (i messed the driver side up bad!)
15" Rims and tires
Drop its about 2"
Amber sidemarkers
Amber turn signals
Lip spoilers
etc.Comment

no mods when i did it but the fact that i bought a new aftermarket 92-93 bumper it was a pain to fit it over the 90-91 bumper support but i'd get the whole 92-93 front end (grill n headlights) before i put the bumper on if i were uComment
