    ive used them before, you have to tweak them a little to get all the holes to the main bumper started but overall they are pretty good for their cost. i used one when i made a smootie bumper. and the 2wd upper portion is the same for 89-95, so you can use either the 89-91 or the 92-95, whichever style you like better. and i advise painting it, atleast scuff it and use some black spray paint. the coating on those parts is very thin and will fade/rust after a few months.

    i love seeing honda kids order a 40 dollar hood to have that flat black look and after a week it looks purple, then brown, then more brown. :ROFL:

    ^^^ I agree with checking your local junk yards first. I bought my 3-pc chrome grille, chrome bumper, painted valance, & bumper brackets all new from a local junk yard for $250.
