Default Del Sol / EK Civic Front Bumper compatibility

Hi there,

I've searched and even read through the first 7 pages of topics on here and still haven't found anything, so I'll just out and ask:

Does anyone know if a bumper on an EK Civic (specifically type R) will fit the front of a Del Sol? Both are JDM Spec, and the Bumper is a genuine Buddy Club bumper. I expect to have to make modifications, but can this be done with minimal mods?

I've got headlights at the ready, as again, I realise the headlights are different, and I"m aware I'll lose the spotlights, just wondering how different the two front chassis' are as I've never put a del sol and an EK civic side by side.

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie such as myself out :-)

it fits but requires some modification. search the archives for more details, tons of info. del sol is an EG chassis, so the swap is like EG/EK.

here's a few (try "Del Sol Conversion ):

my del sol has this done to it . its actually more work than you think, you have to weld ek fenders to del sol fenders. and alignment is gonna be a pain.

did you convert the suspension too or did the alignment go bad after the fender welding ?
