so i need a new bumper for my wagon. i've always thought (and said) that the wagon bumper is the only one that fits without major modification, due to the design using a separate fill strip atop the bumper to fill the area between the bumper and hood, and the gap under the corner lights that is filled by the fender on other "EF" cars.
but i'm surfing around on the intarweb and found some pictures of the JDM SiR sedan bumper. it looks like this uses a separate fill strip, similar to the wagon. so, would a sedan SiR bumper fit with the wagon fill strip?

the insurance company wouldn't pay full value for my smashed auxiliary lamp, because it would have totaled the car.
bummer.
so if i'm going to replace the lamp, i need to skimp somewhere else.
i've not been able to find a replacement bumper for less than $100. which is how much the insurance estimate for the bumper was.
honestly, i don't think the guy touched the bumper - the light took the whole hit. but the bumper is cut out to match the profile of the no longer made lamp.
so i think i'm going to go a little post-Apocalyptic/"Mad Max" with the wagon.
i'm going to patch over the current bumper cut-outs with sheet metal, rivetted in place with obvious rivets, and then i'm going to build a light bar/brush guard and mount three totally dissimilar lights on it. possibly install scoops for brake ducts in the bumper at the same time. and maybe put on an integrated "skid plate" too...
the possibilities are endless!
