or even a crx?

i have a 1988 civic 4 door as a parts car and im plannin on buying total loss civic, an 88-91 h/b or crx. so just wondering if the front ends are interchangable... if not, what if the rad suport was swapped over as well? or front frame rails?

 

thats what i want to know???

 

Radiator supports the same from a 4 door to all Civic/CRX's.

But the Fenders and Hood are still not interchangable.

However the Front bumper is the same on a 4 door as it is on a HB.

not entirely correct. the front HB bumpers are SLIGHTLY different then HB bumpers. takes some custom fabbing to make em fit PROPERLY. if you dont care about 100% OEM fitment, it'll work. but if you want it to look stock, you gotta do some work to get it there, from what i've heard from anyone whos ever put a hb bumper on a sedsn, atleast.

 

so... if the rad support is interchangable... then everything else should be? :S even if i changed EVERYTHING over? it still wouldnt work? are the parts too long

nope theyre Identical, I have a 90-91 4 door bumper on my 88 HB went on with no mods whatsoever, And Ive also put a sedan's bumper on my buddies HB with the same mount of ease.

 

the fenders have a different shape where they meet up with the Door and where it meets the A-pillar, This is why it wont work they are different.

The Hood is shaped differently also, The back of it (the arch) where it curves with the windshield is not as severe as the HB and CRX hoods, meaning it will go on but will look stupid covering up and interfering with your wiper arms.

 

ahh damn, i forgot about that... same thing the windsheilds are different size/shape

bummer
