I am starting to collect parts to convert my sedan to a coupe front end. I understand that to get proper fitment i need the fenders, hood, corners, and bumper from the coupe. I will be ordering jdm fenders from password more than likely, my only concern is about the side moldings...

Will i have to go junkyard some side moldings off a coupe to put on the fenders? or would my sedan moldings transfer over since its just the fenders? Also if my sedan moldings wont transfer over, will the coupe moldings match my moldings on my doors? I want every detail to be right.

Thanks, and please dont try and convince me to stay with the sedan front end. I have already made up my mind on the direction im going with this car.

 

they have different part #'s by Honda from the sedan and the coupe.

sick conversion though, here's some inspiration

 

is it just longer? thought they look the same to me.

 

what's the difference?

the front bumpers are different

but if you only concern is only the small door moldings then do that last.

just wait and see if your sedan moldings work, if not hit the junk yard, and if it comes down to it hit the stealership

 

Heard they are wider.

 

so just the front bumper is different?

 

front bumper has holes for the fog lights on the coupe/ hatch i think and the sedan is just a large grill

 

just slap on a coupe front bumper and cut the wholes your self for the JDM sidemarkers. less stress and money.

 

what is the real way to put on a coupe front end on and eg sedan?
cause i dont wanna spend money to buy a whole coupe front end. when all
i needa do is change bumper.

can somone help me out.?

 

If your in the middle, just dont do anything and save some cash.

 

no i have the money to spend. and ive been wanting to do this conversion.
the thing is i read and search so many threads of how to do so.
but it only made me confused more.

so anyone has the real answer. please help

 

Im gona say your gona need the coupe side molding to fit the coupe fender. And impretty sure it should match up with not problem, ill look more into it later tho.

P.s. i love this conversion, it would be the first thing i do if i owned a 4 door.

 

I know for a fact the bumper, fenders, and hood are all different, so you will at least need to get those. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by EJ1_Sleeper &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">P.s. i love this conversion, it would be the first thing i do if i owned a 4 door.</TD></TR></TABLE>
Same here!

 

I wanted to swap the front end on my 4door. It just seemed like too much of a hassle to make everything line up right. I'm just going to order a sedan front lip and sedan headlights and call it a day.

 

when my friend did his he had to cut the coupe and 4 doors fenders and weld them together

 

Yep, the only right way to do it is:

Get new hood
Get new bumper
Get new corner lights
Make hybrid of coupe and sedan fenders

but i cant just use the coupe fenders?

 

 

like stated previousy you want to do it the rite way then buy new hood,fenders,and bumper along with the corners..if not you can go the cheap way and just ghetto rig the front bumper from a coupe on the four doors fenders..
