I really question whether they are the same or not. So what I am asking is, will 2/3 door bumper fit a 4 door? Oh it's not a factory bumper it's a fiberglass bumper.
Ah! The age old question that I've been going through since day one of having my sedan.

I've been told that they fit, and been told that they don't. I have yet to try it, but I know for a fact the corner lenses are different, 4-Door is much bigger (as they said above) thus you would conclude the geometry of the bumper must be different.

I was even told you can try to use a 2 door bumper with 2 door corners, and that might work, but it still seems to me that it won't match up the fenders.

You could have the shop doctor it up to fit, but it might cost you more than you bargain for. I've spoken to a few people on the clubsi forum that put a 2door Buddy Club kit on their fronts, they admitted that it was too expensive and regreted. There's not much options for us who have sedans, but I have opted to go with front add-on lips that are less agressive but still give that nice clean look.

I just got a bunch of parts for my sedan, I'll post you some pics so you can get an idea of the add-on lips spoilers will look.
