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.

 

headlights are no different... Only difference is corner lights... Rad. support is the same too.... I got a fender off of a hatch that Im gonna test today...

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.

 

i think u would have 2 et the whole front end conversion headlights also be cause four door corners dont fit on hatchs and four door hoods dont either.... good luck bro post pikz when done

 

Just ask in the apperance section I saw one posted there a while back that was a bronze color with the 2 door front looks good!

 

the fenders wont line up with the doors...i tried a while back, and the hood from the hatch/coupes will fit on the 4 door

 

Ive seen a hatch with a sedan front bumper and it was hella clean

i might be late but if your wanting to the put the hatch bumper on your four door you will need to cut and weld the fenders together..my friends did it to his four door and looks super clean..i have pics if you want

Thats just what I was thinking you would have to do, would you please post up some pictures?

 

yes, please post the pics or send them to me...

 

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.
