I dont know if this is the right forum, but does anyone know if you could use the front bumper from an 02 accord coupe on an 02 accord sedan??
I keep hearing different things.
thanks

 

Without having to buy one and try it, I would like to know the answer to this as well.

 

you can, but you'll need to get the hood from the coupe too.

 

I think hood is the same. Bumper mount is different because the different grill holes.

 

nope, hoods are different. the coupe hood is slightly longer.

So you would need to replace the fender too then? If you are saying that the hood is longer, then wouldn't the sedan fenders be replaced with the coupe fenders?

Anyhow, can someone with personal experience reply. Every time this 6th gen accord bumper exchange question is asked someone always says something based on reasoning and theory, but nobody with experience has ever replied.

The bumper from from the 98 - 00 coupe is nicer than the 01 - 02 coupe. I think anything can be done with some slight midification i.e. drilling new holes and adding some fiber glass. I wish someone would say that replacing bumbers works and it looks flush. However, I don't think that's the case.

 

the fenders are the same... the part of the hood that is longer is where the hood meets the grill of the bumper.

actually, i might have it backwards... the sedan hood might be the longer one... can't remember now. either way, one hood is about an inch longer in the middle only, to match up with the front upper grill of the bumper, but the fenders are the same.

 

ive seen picyure of this done on this site, but I cant find the picture again, I know its in the accord picture forum, I just need to know for sure what ill need to do to make it fit, if I need to do anyting that is...

 

Ifound it !!!!

Nice!

So it has been done. It looks flush.
I PM'ed him about some questions regarding fitment, and if he replies I let you know. It appears to be a sedan fender with a side blinker installed, and I think the bumper is from a 01-02 coupe.

 

yah it looks wicked eh, I pm'ed him too, and I e-mailed him, but thanks for your help too, hopefully ill hear from him, or youll hear from him,
If any one else knows anything bout this then please let me know...
thanks everyone so far..

 

anybody else ????

 

As promised. Here is the reply from Ken.


"It's not perfectly flush. But I had to get the bumper support and the coupe hood. There's a big gap between the bumper and the hood but I still don't know why."

Thanks for the info.

 

Bionic,

I can make you a hood to fit... retrofit CF civic hood. And side skirts too if you want. I can bring over the 4x4 and draw it out for you. Let me know.

 

eeh that's ok. Last time you offered to make me a hood you put a black plastic sheet over the engine bay area.

 

You said you wanted lightweight.

 

well that sucks that you need to get a coupe hood, I just bout a cf hood so I geuss that wont be happening any time soon, but does any one know if I can put a 98-2000 front bumper on there instead of the 01-02 bumper??? that ones still nicer I think... let me know if any one knows...thanks bionic for your help..

From a sedan to a sedan? From the readings I have done, they are interchangeable, how do they look different? I know that the 98-00 and 01-02 coupe bumpers are different but how are the sedans different from each other?

 

lower grill on 01-02 sedans is wider, and painted. 98-00 is smaller and black. upper grill on 01-02 has two lines going across, whereas 98-00 only has one.

 

some pictures for reference (taken from accord picture thread):

98-00



01-02

 

^^^

Thanks for the pics.

 

i have a 01 sedan and i want to swap a 98-00 front bumper from a coupe or a sedan , i work at a honda dealer ship and i was reading the maunal and the upper brace right where the grill sits on is bent different on the 98 -00 and the 01-02 are the same

 

So what does that mean? Are you saying that any front bumper [sedan & coupe] should be interchangeable as long as they are from the same year i.e 98-00 and 01-02?

TIA

 

so can I put a 98-00 sedan bumper on my 02 sedan?
I think you should be able to, I like that one more, But I need to know for sure. thanks everyone for all the help so far..
