Default crx vs. civic header panel

Aside from the CRX having a plastic panel and the civic being metal, what is the difference? I ask this because I need one for my 87 CRX, and a local body shop going out of business has one for the 87 civic that he wants 20 bucks for. I know this subject has been beat to death, and I know it isn't a drop-in replacement, but if the shape is the same and it is just bolt holes, maybe it could be done?

thanks for the reply. That's the kind of answer I was looking for. I'm a GM man, done a few restos on them, there are a lot of parts that are interchangeable that the books say are not, just a parts guy saying "different part number, won't fit" on this header was not really what I was looking for. "Different shaped headlights", now, that's definitive. Again, thanks. Mike
