Default question for EG owners...

OK, so I have to start by saying that in my opinion, the coupe/hatch front bumpers look sooo much better than the sedan bumpers.. SO I was talking to a friend about this, and he said that I should just put the whole coupe/hatch front end on my four door... I already have a front bumper from a coupe on my car, but it doesnt exactly line up with the four door fenders and hood... He told me he had done it before and it came out good...

So Im curious, if I bought fenders, hood, and corner lights from a coupe/hatch, could I just have that whole front end on my car??? The only real difference I see, is the sedans front end is wider... what other diferrences, if any, are there????

I would imagine the mounts for the bolts for the fenders and all that would not line up. The radiator support would be different to bolt in the other headlights, just the basic telemetry of the cars are totally different, just leave the sedan front end on.

wrong, not to be blunt but all the internal support is same mounting the same. just differences in coners, lines on hood, (just body lines nothing major) fenders and bumper. this conversion is hella clean if done right good luck

Thanks, I appreciate the answer... Ive been wanting to do it for a while, but didnt wanna spend all the money if it wasnt gonna work right... So far, the plan is to use the same front bumper I have, with a very subtle carbon fiber lip, coupe fenders with mouldings, coupe carbon fiber hood, and then paint the car the original color (harvard blue pearl, with the home made black housing lights I have on it now, and smoked amber corners... very subtle and stock looking, yet still a major improvement over the sedan front end...

Any more input will be appreciated...

Yeah I guess I messed up, forgot the corner lights were the different parts.

I wonder how many people are in the fourdoor mafia, its funny cause I live next door to the kid that created it.

But back on topic, let us know how the conversion works out.

the coupe/hatch fenders are are 1 to 1 1/2 inches too short and there is no way for them to line up, but the hood does fit, it just curves a little more in the front. I wrecked my 4 dr and thought that they would line up and they didn't at all.
