In terms of hinges etc they'll fit fine......however i'm pretty sure they are alot longer to suit the coupes shape, so no they wont.

I believe theyre the same
Which is why side trim is sold in 2/3dr and 4dr sets

people that want to convert to power windows/locks sometimes just swap doors too...what youre doing

I am 99% sure that the coupe and hatch doors are the same.

do you even have any wiring now, it being all manual locks/windows?
Youre going to need a harness

I'm actually in the middle of doing all of that on a 92 Civic Power everything on the doors from a car that had only power mirrors. A friend of mine pulled the harness off of the car they came from. I think you need a bunch of under the dash wiring. I'd use the stock wiring if I were you.

Hmm. Here's my story, I got a set of EX coupe doors from the yard. Spotless. The guy I know went under the dash and the hood to grab the wiring harness from inside the car I got them from. He's gonna help with it this weekend. I'm not sure what the protocol is, but there's more to it than just lining up the doors. It's just not as plug and play as I thought it would be. The amount of work is relative to whether or not you've done it. I'll be able to tell you more when I'm done. I'll try to take some pics.
