Difference between bumpers? (JDM vs USDM) - Honda Prelude Forum

Joon525 · 03-31-2003, 08:32 PM

Is there a difference between the JDM and USDM front bumpers for the 4th Gen? I'm pretty sure there isn't but I need to verify this information.
Thanks in advance.

They are the same.

Don't know why they would be any different.

only thing i can really think of is that they have a reflector in place of the outside bumper lights, so they might not have a hole for the light... and thats not even that big of a deal...

That's on the fender. Not the bumper.

I think that the JDM ones might be missing some of the structure that the USDM ones have. I thought I heard that that was one of the things that needed to be changed to americanize the JDM cars. I could be wrong though.

no he's talking about the actually side turn signal is just a reflector

I would guess no but they could be since they have different crash standard like no 5mph bumper test. They could have made a slighter different bumper if it would be cheaper to produce for all JDM cars.

i think only the reinforcement bar are different from JDM to USDM... USDM having a more thicker and stronger rebar. Also rumors of an OEM Kit?

The JDM bumper support is lighter than ours becuse it dosn't have to meet as many safety standards. The only other differences are the non-functional clear sidemarker lenses, and the optional OEM kit.

They come with either with Lights (mine has) or ones that are just reflectors.
