Default HB/Coupé front bumper on Sedan?

Is it hard to fit an HB/Coupé front on the Sedan? I guess MaxBoosT have done it?

What is the difference between those bumpers? sedan bumper wider?

PM maxboost or cashis, they both have done the 2/3dr front end on a 4dr. From what i remember, i think you need the fenders, bumper, and corner lights.

You just need the bumper and corner lights from a 2/3 door. Then I believe you have to dremel your own holes on the bumper.

I think the OEM 92-95 Honda Civic sedan front bumper is actually a tad bit wider than the OEM hatch/coupe front bumper. I had to pull the sides out a little when I installed one a while ago. Since the OEMs are made of urethane, it's not hard to get the coupe bumper to fit on the sedan. Just remove the plastic piece that holds the screw in place on the fenders and use a bolt/washer/nut combination instead. That will hold the side of the bumper to the fender more securely. Once you get the sides bolted in, it helps to use a heat gun to help massage the bumper into place. The lines won't be perfect but it will look like it was supposed to be there to the untrained eye. You will need to trim around the corner light area to get the corner lights to fit. Some say to use the coupe/hatch corner lights, I was able to use my sedan corner lights.


This also applies to the aftermarket bumpers that other companies sell for the 92-95 Civic coupe. I have installed the Wings West Bigmouth and the Avenger front bumper on my sedan before using the bolt/washer/nut combo and used my sedan corner lights as well..
