Sorry, I have been busy at work today.

To answer a few questions.

Simple answer, it does not fit...

unless you do some modifications.

How as you guys asked,
I was writing up a DIY, but it got side-tracked and I never got around to do it, wish I did so I can help all those that want to try this ever growing new trend.

- I used 2/3dr Corners.
- Kept the Sedan fenders.
- Had to redrill holes on bumper.
- Have a strong friend (thanks Don_R6) stretch out bumper to have it match as closely as possible.

"As for the conversion, all that is really needed is the Coupe/Hatchback bumper (they should be the same) I asked for the Si front bumper.

The bumper holes do not line up, not even close, you must dremel your own holes to match to the fenders. In actuallity, it was not as bad as some thought.

The corners bolt right in. "

Was there anything else you had to do MB?

Maxboost, you didn't have any gap showing with the 2/3dr corners with your 4dr fender? Wow cool, I guess my friend's 2dr lenses where jacked then. I guess I was partially wrong. Thanks! :thumbup:
