Default EF8 bumper on a EF9

of course, removing the entire front bumper/filler/support piece, headlights, and hood, can i bolt the following parts from a JDM SiR crx onto my USDM EF9?


hood
headlights
bumper
bumpersupport
corner lights

thanks in advance.

i do know that the hoods are the same, and the headlights are the same..

but i figured that without the filler piece, that the CRX front bumper, and support would bolt up to my civic fenders.

help!

Yea it will work, if you look around there are some pics on here with the swap.

I think it looks good but would look best with the hatch fenders.
If you havent noticed the hatch has sharp flares on the front and rear fenders and the crx is round so it looks a little funny to mismatch them.

I agree. I prefer the EF9 bumper. IMO, I think looks wise the EF9 has a better style.

sorry.. but im still not seeing the problem.

the pic made it look easier!!

personally, i like the EF8 bumper.. the opening on the top.. the amber lenses.. the fog light openings at the lower corners...

i need a good pic of where the bumper meets the fender.. hmmmmmm

Huh? EF8/EF9 headlights and hoods are the same and are interchangeable. Im pretty sure the fenders are slightly different though.

sorry man, but u have it backwards.


the fenders and the bumper are the only bodypanels that are different.


ive interchanged lights, and hoods.

the corner lights are different, due to the fenders. and the fenders are totally different.
