I am wondering if I will be able to fit a jdm ef9 front bumper on my 4door. Ive seen them on some sedans, but I want to know if there will need to be some mods i have to do or if it will be able to bolt on with the usdm hood and filler pieces.

Here's a pic of what im trying to do minus the jdm front end:

 

Good question I've always wondered the same thing. I think you probably need the jdm bumper support but I think it would probably work..

 

no, from what i hear the "Engrish terms" The Sedan and hatchback bumpers are the same. They bolt on with no issues.

 

"Engrish terms"??? lol English with a vietnamese accent maybe?? lol well its good to hear, i might pick one up in a couple days, just wanted to clarify. You have a sedan too??

 

it fitssssssss

 

YAY!

So for all those that didn't catch that...the SIR front bumper will indeed fit
a usdm Ef sedan front end.

 

if you need those one piece headlights i gotta a pair of clean ones pm me if you are interested

 

should fit right in

So does that mean it still requires the EF9 hood, lights, filler piece, etc. in order to not look like crap (just like you have to have on the hatch)????

 

I don't believe the hood and fenders are necessary, but the filler piece might be. We're only talking about the use of the front bumper, not the complete frontend.
Look-up Xplicit Ef here on HT...he has a brown sedan and is running usdm front/jdm bumper.

But here is the question, the Sedan pictured is 88-89, which shares the exact same part number with the USDM 88-89 hatch. Would this work on a 90-91 sedan which DOES NOT share the same part number as the USDM 90-91 hatch? I've always been concerned that the part numbers indicate something different in the mounting.

 

Im sure it's easy to modify the bumper support.

See that right there is what im lookin for, im really trying to do this soon, sent the owner a pm, but no reply. freakin sexy lol

 

He said something about modifying the bumper support, and that it wasn't alot of work.

 

The ef9 front end is a little more curved where as the usdm sedan front end is more squared. It doesn't look right. IMO it doesn't look right

yes, the bumper support needs to be modded to accomodate the more rounded shape of the Si-R bumper

 

hey if you dont have the bumper already check the bay area craigslist theres a gotthat has a clean one for cheap. just search ef9

 

bumpers are the same just need the filler. good luck

 

what about in a hatchback?? can you accommodate the bumper with out the filler piece and fenders?

 

i would have to say im not a fan of sedans but these look amazing. i would drive one. sorry i dont kno an answer

 

Its a direct fit! the car on the first picture is my hommies, now he has the whole jdm seddan front bumper and he sold me that bumper, now its on my hatch, and its also a direct fit on my hatch just bolt it on!

He's not very active, last i remember that brown sedan got parted out, and his new sedan with a jdm front clip got T-boned in the snow. Not sure what he's up to now.

The hatch filler is not going to work on your sedan, so don't use it.

Also the US bumper supports are really chunky, it would fit alot easier if you removed it and replaced it with the jdm one.
