Default Question about swapping bumper covers

I have a 98 Accord Sedan just so everyone knows right off lol. I was washing it earlier today and got very unhappy with the normal years of rock dings and stuff on the front bumper cover. The other day I saw a 2002 Accord Coupe front bumper and I think it looks alot better than mine. It's the one with the 2 holes on the outsides and the one in the middle. (the 2 on the outside kinda look like spots for foglights.) Anyways, my question is: Does anyone know if this bumper will fit my car exactly or will it require modification? I could have the old one repaired and repainted but that's no fun lol. Any help would be great

but to the op, it will not be a direct fit. just think about it. is it the same body style? if its no, its no. but you can always to some modification to make it work bud.

WTF! I've NEVER been banned... You need to pay better attention to the threads you post in moron. And yes, the 2 body styles are different but the front ends are identical. All I need to know is if the holes for the clips match up. Wtf don't answer my post being an @$$ next time please...

Yeah, I'm truly sorry. The mods obviously didn't care to let me know that they had edited my topic. Sorry about that :-(

Oh okay, thanks. I didn't know the hoods were different. That kinda puts a kink in my plans lol.
