Question about the OEM rear bumper protector for the FL5.

[xinvisionx]

Does part number 08P01-T47-100 fit the FL5? I ask because College Hills Honda says no via their site? But Honda OEM Parts Online says it does fit. It conflicting.


Meanwhile, Mugen's bumper protector shows it works for all 11th Gen Civics which leads me to believe the OEM would work on the FL5.

Hi.
The answer is: Kinda.
I have this rear bumper protector. I bought it for this exact purpose, because I did'nt want the little strip of weak sauce PPF back there.

In reality, no, it doesn't fit correctly. Check it out...

It is the lip that hangs over the back of the bumper. The lip has a smooth contoured bend while the bumper of the FL5 drops at a sharp angle.

In this photo, you can see the overhang of the protector's lip that is elevated away from the rear of the bumper...

Can the Reggie Civic protector be installed on the Type R?
Yes.

Should it be installed on the Type R?
In my opinion: No.

I hope that helps.
Cheers.
