I believe the bumper is shorter on the hatches than the coupes. I don't think you could do much with a hatch lip on a coupe.

No, it's not.

There are three different bumper shapes for the 6th gen Civics (not counting "SiR" bumpers, which are the same dimensions, but just have molding).

There is the '96-'98 coupe and sedan rear bumper.


There is the '99-'00 coupe and sedan rear bumper.


There is the '96-'00 hatch rear bumper.


As you can see, the coupe/sedan rear bumper is significantly longer along the sides. Since the rear lip would wrap around the bottom of the sides too, the hatch rear lip WILL NOT fit onto a coupe or sedan rear bumper.

Also, while there is a Civic Type-R hatch, there was never a Civic Type-R coupe or sedan, meaning that any rear lip that says it's a Civic Type-R rear lip that will fit your sedan, is just a Type R Style rear lip and these might slightly differ from each aftermarket retailer.
