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
I just looked at the shipping, nvm, thats a bit too much. I guess I'll just keep an eye out for abs bumper when it's back in stock, not trying to pay 200 for shipping

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.

I think I can put my finger in between the gap of upper grill and the upper bumper cover.

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.

How are the lights in the four vents (next to the fogs) work? Where did you get them to fit the aftermarket type r style bumper?

I ordered the type r front bumper and hood from ABS Dynamics.. contacted them via eBay/email and they allowed me to arrange my own shipping arrangements for pickup! Set up the shipping through uShip and the parts are currently in transit!
what hood did you get? Metal or plastic? Did you have to install hood pins?

My car was in a hit n run and I decided to go with absdynamics. I couldn’t be more happy!!! Fitment was spot on. I went with the abs dynamics front bumper n wing! Ask for Johnny, he was very helpful in getting you the parts ASAP! Got the wing pre painted. Colors is spot on, quality well above asking price, IMO!!! Pictures don’t do justice.

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
I have a 2018 Hatchback with Honda Sensing. Would you be able to explain in detail how to install the bumper so it would work with the sensing package? What did you have to modify on that fog light cover? It is two pieces so did you cut through both or did you just put it over the sensing without cutting anything to expose the radar to fresh air?

I got them on eBay and I wired them to the the headlights so they only turn on when the headlights are on. They also turn amber when you wire them to the turn signals. They are for sale if interested.

Where did you find this picture? How do the rear fender flares work? Also, what is up with that Lane Watch drivers side view mirror?

Found this picture in the Thailand community so that explains the lane watch.
As for the rear fender flare, I think you either drill holes in the quarter panels or adhesive.

I’ve had them for over a year but I took them off cause I got different vent lights. I’d sell them for 40 dollars.

which vent lights did you get?
I got the ones in picture which cover the whole vent area and the other ones I don’t use are circular lights and don’t cover the whole vent up. They allow air to go through the vents.

Where did you get them? Are they on an absdynamics type R style bumper?
