Default Front End Conversion

Can anyone tell me exactly is necessary to convert the 93 Ferio front end to the Coupe/Hatch front end. A frined of mine wants to do it and i'm not exactly sure but i'm thinking he will just need the Coupe/Hatch bumper and maybe the fenders. Need to be sure i'm right, if i'm not i would like to know what he will need. Thanks

Ummm, unless I'm either on crack or really haven't been paying attention, all the 92-95 Civics had the same front end. And I'm not on crack.

You can see how the front bumper and the fenders don't line up properly in the pics above.

the picture above is a 4-dr with a 2-dr/3-dr bumper; the fenders and cornders are both 4-dr. I think that there are slight enough of geometry differences that there are two distinct sides to this story:

A: it would be really easy to make some minor modifications to the vehicle to get any combination of the corners, fenders, and/or bumper swapped, but
B: it will take a -lot- of work to keep it from looking ghetto and out of place

Fenders, bumper cover, corner lenses and hood. Everything should bolt right up.

You don't need to change the hood. The headlights are the same between the 2,3,4 doors.

hahaha yeah you're on crack they are not the same

you d not need to change the hood because they are the same. im not sure if the fenders bolt right up. if they did then the conversion would be a piece of cake

fenders, corner lights and bumper from a 2dr/3dr and thats all you would need
