The 4th gen Civic probably has the worse body panel fitment from the factory compared to 5th and 6th gen Civic. This is especially true when Honda designed the bumper to bolt onto the OEM bumper beam. When replacing the OEM bumper beam with Doryoku lightweight tubular bar, the bumper cover loses the mounting tabs under the headlights. 

Depending on the condition of the bumper cover & chassis, some cars covers may exhibit more bumper sag/gap under the headlights. See photos of 2 clients, both have tubular bar with dual hooks/splitter rods but one has more bumper sag than the other. We developed these optional brackets for those clients who need them. 

We understand these cars being +20 years old, their conditions vary with questionable history. Some variables where a car might need additional bumper support: 

  • Core support has been repaired 
  • Non OEM replacement bumpers that fit subpar 
  • Aftermarket bumpers (drag frontend, body kit)
  • Aftermarket headlight resulting in more gap


Engineering Design Notes 

 

Modular Value Driven Design 

Rather than forcing clients to buy a feature they don't need (added weight & expense), we allow customers to decide if their car needs it. This is a bolt-on option so existing clients don't need to modify their bar. 

Adjustability

Some companies weld a fixed bracket on to their bars. This does not allow for any flexibility in adjusting the left from the right. Most cars & aftermarket bumpers are not perfect and require independent adjustability. Our design allows for up to 1/2" of vertical adjustment. The bracket does also rotate. 


Installation Tip 

We found it very easy to place the bracket under the bumper & push up each end of the bracket so it would contact the bumper cover. Having the bracket at an angle is definitely the right way to get the best fitment.

The red CRX test car, we noticed is that the bumper will have some distortion from years of being bolted down to the OEM bumper beam. To correct this, I would recommend carefully using a heat gun and straighten out that top flap. You can be creative and use clamping methods, wedges. Bumper waviness is something that will vary car to car.
