2002 EP3, 06+ Front, Is FD2 or FA5 Closer
Hello everyone, I have recently aquired a 2002 Ep3. I have always loved hatchbacks since my 92 DX so this was buy was bound to happen eventually. For the most part it is stock....for now.... once i get back from my military leave the build will start to go underway but the biggest complaint i have with the EP3s is the front end.... Im sorry fellow EP3 owners but I feel the ball has been dropped so hard with this car. Love the back, sides are not bad with skirts and then the front.... UGH.
I Digress, what I plan on doing is a 8th gen front end on my EP3. I understand how much work it will be, not worried. I did not buy this car to fix and sell or flip or blah blah. This will be a long term project. Searching around i saw the thread with the EP3 with the partial 8th gen conversion, looks like its from the coupe. I honestly like the FA5 better let alone the CSX front but im just wondering measurement wise, which would fit the best. There is really just no info on this so im open to all opinions!
I plan on creating a more comprehensive list of parts but for now just let me know what you all think! When i do this i will be wearing my GoPro so it will be pics galore Below is the pic of my EP my woman said it looks like a girl car so i made it look a bit more angry

So both coupe and sedan 09+ have the same hood going to measure that and the fenders tomarrow on my buddy's fa5 that I sold him to see exactly how much fabrication I would need to do. If anyone has any ideas or info please let me know.
