Another Type R Conversion Front Bumper Thread......

How did you deal with the Honda sensing ?

Different person here, but I had to cut part of the fog light area inside of the bumper with a Dremel. Very small piece to cut, and it's on the inside of the bumper - but that ultimately freed up all the room needed for install.

The side of the fog light housing on the bumper is essentially pushing right against the corner of the sensing unit, and that's essentially what you're cutting out for some room

My car didn't come with sensing

I'll try to grab you a pic over the weekend, but I 3M'd the black fog vent in front of that area (for added security because some clips broke), so it might not be easily removable any more to access that area. And yeah I do have one! But it hasn't been updated in forever, once I take some updated shots I'll definitely share

Here’s an update from the type r bumper i ordered from six degree carbon. Coming in from Malaysia took about a month to get to California. Putting all the plastic pieces on was kinda tricky had to lift up the plastic tabs and push it in until I heard it clip. I had to cut a little square where the fog lights where on the top because it was hitting. The fitment for the bumper itself was really good. It was just tight to put it on. It’s been probably about a month since I had it on and had no problems

If you like the style, then go for it.

I don't like the bumper because it's not oem, the fitment will get crappy over time where you have huge gap under the headlights and both ends tend to pop out and not flushed with the fenders.

As for the appearance goes, I think it looks like a skinny facial without the wide fenders. The bumper cover itself has to be shrunken down immediately to meet the slim fenders at each end so it looks like it's losing a lot of mass at each side.

I just ordered my Type R style front bumper from Six Degree Carbon in Malaysia. Everywhere else I’ve been looking at is sold out so I took the risk to order from them. Wait time he said was about 3 weeks to come to California via Air freight. Fingers crossed that everything goes well.

Links where you buy it at?

 

[Chris_FC1]

Yeah everybody has their preference on what they like. I got it because it was more aggressive looking compared to an OEM bumper. I personally love OEM parts because they fit way better and you know it’s a genuine Honda part. One day if they make cut off fenders like Tracklifecomposites it will look like it fits.
To buy that bumper there’s no link but to go on Instagram or Facebook and look for six_degree_carbon. They have a WhatsApp and that will be the best way to contact them. I would look what you are looking and screen shot it so you can show them. The set up I bought was the Type R bumper and the grille was the spoon style grille. Great combo in my opinion.

Personally I like the look of the bumper better than the sedan and hatchback ones. I bought mine off a member here. I don’t see myself going back to the old bumper.

Where did you buy this bumper off from?

I bought it off a guy here on the forums. But ended up hitting something on the freeway and broke the bottom lip and bottom grill. I bought a replacement on on eBay. Around 330 dollars.

I had it as my second bumper, if you don't mind spending the extra $50, I would say get the better fitment option (it comes from the same supplier as absdynamics).
But for under 300 this version is well worth it. The only issue is the fitment by the corners, below the headlights.

Would the better fitment option be abs dynamics?

Correct. Socal accessories usually sells them in shop if your are local and has them online, not sure why they took them off their website. But you can call and see if they have any in stock.

Yeah I looked at abs website and they're currently out of stock, I already have a aftermarket grille so I was looking for an option that comes without the type r grille so I could save some money as well as me not having a need for the grille
