Or Certi-fit, pick-up if local and save money. Or have the SLC warehouse ship it to you.

I had 2 frt bumpers, 1 rr bumpers, a hood and 2 fenders, shipped to me for $278 from there.

Damn, that's cheap. I'm thinking the GRM hatch needs a crx front bumper asap

Yeah, CRX bumpers have a lot extra room.  You need hood and modified fenders to make it work best, though.  Whole CRX front end conversion.

I usually get my stuff from Astro Automotive.  Front bumper on my accord was like $50 brand new.  Fits alright, had to fiddle with it a little, but the front of the var is slightly tweaked.  Their facility is local to me, so I just picked up the bumper and threw it in the passenger seat.

They generally just supply local bodyshops, rather than individual sales, but they will still sell to individuals.  My advice would be to find a similar business.

i wasnt aware of the hood. i knew i would be modding some crx fenders to match up the the doors and rockers

Hood follows the curvature of the fenders.

damn, im way off. i thought the only reason for crx fenders was to match up to the bumper

Eyeball fuck the profile of a CRX vs a Civic sometime.  Personally, I think doing that to a hatch is a little fugly but it really does add room in the nose area to fit ICs and such.  Looks kinda cool on a sedan, though.
