Had a question about the front bumper / fender / hood ect.
Sorry, I tried searching, didn't really know what to type in search field, but I did try.
So my question is, I have a 90 Si, but want an 88 front bumper, does everything else match? I guess I'm just wondering if everything is universal on the front end.
Thanks!

I think you might need the metal brackets that attach the bumper support to the frame, but I could be wrong.
Also, you might want to pick up the side and door mouldings as well as a rear bumper, they have a line that runs through them that the 90-91's don't have.

Yea, im going to get the moldings too, I don't want to go JDM like a lot of other people do, & like I initially planned on doing. I just want a super duper clean US civic.

Hmm thanks. As long as I can just take off my 90 front bumper, and slap the 88-89 front bumper with out any special anything... perfect.
Thanks
Anyone else?

I found out the difference between the 88-89 EFs and 90-91 EF hoods...they line up the same but the headlight cut outs are more angular and sweep upwards towards the fender on the 90 and 91 models. Nought a 88 hood for my 91 and it looked horrible around the headlight area. Found another from a 90 and the gaps were GONE!
