I'm assuming we're talking about a first or second-gen US market Integra.

Would you mind telling us the year and model of your car?

Then I would replace the front end with another 98-01 front bumper if your stock bumper is damaged.

All the aftermarket solutions look like crap and unless they're made of urethane, they're much more fragile than the OEM bumper.

:a: Are you talking about the unpainted center section of the bumper that provides structural support to the large opening in the front of the car?

The front bumper cover is all one piece; if you've bashed in that unpainted bit, you really ought to replace the whole cover.

We need pictures, because strictly speaking, the US-market third-gen Integra doesn't even have a grille.

A) That isn't a stock part.
B) In my humble opinion, that silver mesh insert looks awful. :hsdunno:
C) I'm moving this thread to the Appearance / Cosmetic forum.

If you want to buy one for your 98, go right ahead, just keep in mind that the 94-97 Integra had a different front bumper design. So a 94-97 insert will not fit properly. :hsughr:

Or remove it altogether, saving weight and money.
