not familiar about generations about but i know that the 92-95 coupe and sedan front ends are different.

the hood, fenders and bumper are longer then the coupes.

the sedan has a wide "grill" not sure what to call it and smaller foglights.

the coupe has a smaller grill and the folights are seperated. and imo looks better.


i would think you' need hood fenders, bumper, and possibly radiator core support?
but im not sure on that one.

They're the same for the most part, but the coupe and hatchback have a different front bumper. Oh, and I know all the parts aren't interchangeable.

@ op: You need headlights, fenders, hood, and bumper. I believe you MIGHT need to weld a new radiator support, but I'm not 100% positive on that one. Let somebody else chime in for a more precise answer.

you def need
coupe/hb fenders
coupe/hb hood
coupe/hb bumper

may need
coupe/hb headlights and corners...not sure if these differ from the 4dr

could get
coupe/hb core support to get everything to fit perfectly

i own a 4door and wanted to do the conversion but it will look like **** unless you pay a body shop to do it the right way. The 4door and 2door share the same headlights,hood, and rad support. The fenders bumper and corners are different. the 2door fenders are a little shorter and CANT bolt them to a 4door I TRIED IT. only way to get the conversion right would be to cut the two door and 4door denders in half weld together and bondo. if you wanted you could just put the coupe bumper but it makes the corner lights stick out the 2door bumper is skinnier than the 4door and you wont be able to run the 5mph crash bar with a coupe bumper installed. If you get a body shop to cut/weld and all the other stuff it could look right heres a pic

absolutly correct! I guess no one reads accurate information any more...

To reitterate

Coupe/hatch and Sedan share the same hood, radiator support, and headlight housings. the front bumpers, fenders, and corner lights are different.

YOU CANNOT BOLT A COUPE/HATCH DOGHOUSE ONTO A SEDAN IT WILL NOT WORK!!

You'll get to like the sedan front the way it is, it's tasteful and has plenty of JDM goodies to go with it. Rock stock now or change it back when you regret spending all that money later. EG9 ftw. Someone please show this guy a pic of a clean 4dr.

Trust me dude, 4dr eg's are cool the way they are.

Yeah, but the foglights look like sh*t compared to a coupe/hatch IMO.

At first, I wanted to change my front bumper also. But when I starting seeing sedans with fogs and lips like this one, I decided to keep my sedan bumper.

imo stick with it stock, ask falkensir, he had a pretty sick *** 4dr, here lets see if i can find a pic. The front ends are so similiar it's almost not worth changing, you're spending a lot of money to do this that you could be using more wisely with it. again, this is all imo, you do what makes you happy with it, but this is what your eg sedan could look like. This one used to belong to FalkenSir.



check out this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1783886
it's got some pretty sweet sedans in it and may give you some good ideas.

Gotta love Frost White, it's the best.

This thread has been getting me to Google some Ferios and I have to say I'm finding the front bumper quite baller, especially in Frost White. Did I mention I like that color?

Okay, I'l contribute a little more... here's my favorite 4dr civic b20vtec on a 4lug ITR conv. whooping a K20 ek...they sound badass....guess what color the 4dr is...
