Default Need help w/ front end, Sedan or Hatch??

Picked up some parts from Password the other day.

http://passwordjdm.com/product...D=235

Notice the chrome filler in red box? (
Green arrow is reg. filler)I wonder if this front is from a 4dr or not...the vin tag says EF2..

PW knowledge says its hatch..but still have had trouble depicting, exactly wat EF2 and EF3 are..hatch or sedan..

Any info is appreciated, TIA

You know what I think thats a 4 door. There would be no need for that filler on any year hatch. I am almost positive that its a 4 door nose. I have never ever seen that type of filler on a hatch.

Nicks jdm style ef9 is right. That's a four door front. The hatches don't come with those fillers. And how is that any different from a 88 si front end except for the stock stanley clears and plastic headlights with no nipples?

Only sedans used that filler piece, so I would say it's an '88-89 sedan front. Check for "SH4" markings to be sure.

It is a sedan front because it is marked "SH4" in one of the pictures.

And hatchbacks did not have the piece that is indicated by the red box.

YUP well Im pretty certain the front is for a sedan, eventhough from the pics, the bumper doesnt look too far off. Let me know what you think.

The corner lights are too long to be for a hatchback, they have to be for 88-89 EF sedan. The headlights fit. I have a pair of genuine EF7/EF3 headlights and it turned out they are the exact same part # as the ones that came on this EF2 front.







The front bumper cover aswell seemed to almost fit w/ the usdm bumper support and seemed to be just a lil too long.

Tried it w/ the jdm bumper support and it stuck out a few more inches in front of the frame. The red boxes show where the lip holes should regulary be underneath the frame to screw in.

Got the jdm bumper support to fit like the front, in order to do so, you have to remove usdm bumper support brackets which are held in by 3-4 12mm bolts(In red box). Now I just need to find washers to fit behind the 10mm screws in order to bolt it up, I used to zip ties for reference.
