    They did not come from factory with the bumper pole it is an aftermarket addition.

    The wagons in Okinawa I saw with the bumper pole of course as Haydz said were aftermarket. Here is one wagon I saw in Okinawa. The wagons I saw all had the same pole by the way.

    ^Wow that looks nice. Any links for where one can find it? My google-fu is not strong. Also, do we have stock locations where we can bolt this right up or is it a 'custom' project?
  • HaydzHaydz Moderator
    I've seen ones with green tips, yellow tips, short ones, long ones... all on Shuttles.

    Are we still talking about bumper poles?

    even if they were aftermarket were any made by Honda and installed by Honda dealers?

    The one you see in the pic actually mounts underneath the corner lens. You can get them from any car and mount them. You can find universal ones like the one I have. Takes a couple of screws to mount. Some are powered and some aren't. A lot I saw over there used the light from the car lights to light up the tip of the bumper pole.

    They are probably a Honda Access part, if your putting it on a USDM wagon then wont it be on the opposite side to a JDM wagon?
  • ragenasianragenasian Moderator
    Most put it on the same side as a JDM wagon making it purely a show piece. I put mine on the opposite side of the JDM side so that it could be at least used for its purpose. My wife has a hard time parking her car :lol:

    I've seen some that extend like the automatic antennas... So basically the purpose of these are to give you a reference of where the front of the car is?

    Exactly, its a parking marker. And if you need one then you have issues. :)

    a crx/civic 4g one will be the same place surely not?

    Should be, depending on the mount.
    I didn't get a mount with mine so was just going to hack holes in my "fitment" bumper till I found the right place.
    Same goes for the IC and the washer jets.

    I'd say the right place is as near to the corner of the bumper as possible, that's the point in it after all.
  • dalowdadalowda New Wagonist
    here it is honda access ef goodness. the copper spacer is there so that the motor isnt sitting on bumper lights and also allows it to be closer to the corner of the bumper

    There's those damn headlights with nipples again...
  • dalowdadalowda New Wagonist
    they were just thinking of you :lol:
  • nominousnominous familEE
    Thanks for the pics.
    I've got internal issues to fix with it. It's going to be very hard.

    Lol, off subject but the nipples on the headlights are for attaching headlight aligning tools. I guess it's only a USDM thing...?
