Default how bad is the fender gap on sedan frontend conversion to hatchback? 92-95

I've been searching around and came up with these threads:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=636612
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=433594
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=398580
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=996283

all kinds of little tidbits of info. Anyway, I was able to see the gaps, etc on the bumper only conversion as well as the hood only conversion. But there arent any pics on the entire front sheetmetal conversion.

Anyone know what the entire sedan front end will look like gapwise on a hatchback??

both my fenders, my front bumper, and my hood are screwed. Hell, even my corner lights are busted and my headlights are pointing off to the side. Just happen to have a 94 sedan out back with a perfect front end on it and for the time being I'm wanting to toss it all on the car until I can gather up the correct hatch parts.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has done this as of yet and have any pictures of the fender/door gap??

like is it bigger in the middle of the door and narrow at the edges or the same space all around??

I know if you cheap out on the hatch front end on a 4D, it looks shitty. You have to do it right for it to look good and match up. I have no clue about what you want to do. Rembember the headlights are the same, the corners are different.

my intentions are this:

dirt poor as of this second due to having money out all over the place.

I have a free good condition 4door frontend. I want to know if the gap will be hideous or livable for a while if I use this frontend while I locate good replacement hatchback body parts.

simple as that. I dont plan to keep the 4door frontend parts on the car forever, just until I can find the correct hatchback parts and so my car doesnt have lights falling out and dangling everywhere in the meantime or huge gashes in the fenders...or the huge cut mark in the front bumper.
