Front End Conversion...
I searched here in the Civic Forum and the Cosmetic Forum......over 100 hits with no luck.
Just picked up a 94 Civic EX Sedan...
...I want to give it a 92/95 Coupe/Hatch front.
I hope this is as simple as I think...
1) Fenders
2) Hood
3) Bumper
4) Corner Lamps
... that's it right?
I've seen the swap with just the bumper before, but god it showed the ugliness.
Any input from those who have it or just know it would be nice. I've already ordered the corner lamps and bought the bumper. I thought I'd ask here, just in case, before I spend more money.
Thanks guys.

Stop!
Those 2 door fenders are not going to line up to your 4 door. The line of the fender at the door is not the same.

Exactly, you have to use the 4-door fenders and the 2/3 dr fenders and chop and weld. The 2/3 door fenders will not line up correctly to my understanding

Yes, I tried it 5 years back, the fenders fit and line up fine in front, but there is a nice sized gap at the door. As much as you may hate it, either go with swapping over just the front bumper or you're going to have to have the fenders from both models cut to fit. 2/3 in the front, 4 door in the back.
