Default Front bumpers...

...i know that sedan bumpers don't fit on 2dr and the hatch, but how hard would it be to make them fit?

you have to cut and weld/bondo the fenders. the larger portion closer to the doors will be the sedan fender, near the corner lights use the coupe/hatch fender. then you need coupe/hatch corners, lights, and front bumper (I think they all share hoods? :dunno: )

you could just slap on the coupe/hatch bumper, but it won't line up perfect.

I think that CashisEG8 did this to his ride. I think that he did some slight trimming to the front bumper to accomodate the longer corner lights that come with the sedan. The stock bumpers might be a little more forgiving since they're flexible and you might be able to "stretch" it the way you want it to go. But don't quote me on that though... h:

the coupe/hatch bumper is slightly more agressive, while the sedan bumper looks more plain in comparison (arguably). different fogs, too.

I've always associated it with the differences between the 96-98 civic and the 99-00 civic. the coupe/hatch is more 99 while the sedan is more 96.

so why the hell would you want to put a sedan bumper on a coupe/hatch?

:dunno: a different look? I've never seen it

this is the point I just realized he has a hatch, and he wants the sedan bumper. I thought it was vise versa h:

Hmmm... Interesting. I wonder if a sedan front would fit on a hatch/coupe without modification. :thinking:
