whats upp guys! my question to the honda world is.. are all 88-91 crx front bumpers interchangeable with each other? and do i have to get a new?different re-enforcement beam for which ever front bumper it is and would the beam bolt right up to my 88 rex? thanx a lot guys. I wanna get a different look then the plain bottom black molding! HELLLP please! ]

 

well if its any help my 91 dx has a 88-89 si front bumper and it seems to fit nice hope that helps

 

heres the info:

all bumpers are interchangable.


heres the catch:

you need to use the bumper support and bumper support brackets from what year the bumper is from.


example:

if your using a 90-91 front bumper on a 88-89 crx, you need to use the bumper support and bumper support brackets from a 90-91 crx.

by doing this, you dont need to modify any part of your existing support or bumper to fit properly.

but the best bumper support to use is an hf model, for it is light and can fit any year bumper, but sacrificing safety and rarity for an undamaged one.

Thanx alot guys!!! i appreciate it

 

one more thing on this guys... does the 89 crx front bumper have the grooves in the bottom corner of the molding? (for fog lights)

No. 88-89 has the smooth bumper.

 

damn! so i guess i gotta go 90 or 91 then.. thanx hushypushy! So, i dont HAVE to change out my fenders, hood or lights do i? ...just gotta get the beam and the bracket for the beam?

 

here is the 88-89 bumper note how the bumper light is a 90-91 and does not fit w/out mods and that the owner needs to fix the lip and headlight

and here is the 90-91 bumper
the hood are interchangable through the years and so are fenders so u should not need to replace those and dont do what i did and not install a bumper support at al

 

another thing you will run into is that the molding wont match the rest of the car.. i agree with kojack 100%.
i had an 89 hf at one time and i wanted the 90-91 front bumper so i could use the J's racing lip and when i pulled the original bumper off there was just a small strip that bolted to the body and had the grooves for the cover 2 fit in. saves u about 20lbs but if u wreck... ur s.o.l

true fact about the moldings. same with the rear bumper, thin moldings, and has that little lip like flare on the bottom.

but ive always wondered, just havent tried, will a 90-91 side moldings fit on a 88-89 and will the clips line up? i noticed that the grooves where the moldings would go is the same height.

88-89 side modlings:

 

yea theyl line up.. one thing i noticed about say.. si moldings are really wide.. hf modlings are narrow but not narrow enough for the 90-91 bumpers.. but when u take the moldings off, they interchangable.. i changed mine out cause it was buggin the hell outtta me

 

thanx Dohced and thanks agaoin kojack! a lot of great info.. now if i wanna just go with the ef8 front bumper..
i know that all i need is the hood, t-bar, bumper (obviously), and the bumper lenses.
but im keeping my 88 crx fenders So, mY question to you guys is.. would my 88 headlights and corners still fit properly?! and would i need anything else other then what i listed above just to have the jdm bumper and hood on my rex!? and again which beam? and again with the moldings lol. mY bad fer the change of heart! just want my rex to be Clean!

 

the headlights wont work.. on the ef8 they are longer, plus instead of the 2 bulbs ul have just 1.. my friend just did an ef8 front end and i believe that the maouting piece is almost like that of an HF..

 

damn! i already bought some projector headlights with new amber corners for my 88 rex.. looks like they're for sale now! haha. so i can only use the jdm headligts now? and what am i gonna have to do as far as the wiring for the lights? and either way i'm going with onex hid headlights so if that changes anything! and which other bumper support can i use other then an hf?
and thanx again Dohced!

 

are you wanting just the ef8 bumper or the bumper and hood??

 

i only really want the hood!

 

the make a replica ef8 hood that way you can use stock head light ect...kinda pricey though. good thing is its carbon fiber lol

sorry i was talking to someone next to me and put typed hood cause thats what i was talkin about.. i met i really only want the ef8 bumper! and i dont care fer the hood sO much. thanx sleepingciv and my bad

 

this will work on a rex or hatch but this is a jdm bumper with usdm hood headlights ect... just a bumper swap

 

kudos!! good ****! that all i needed to here! thanx again!!

 

ugh... which bumper beam and t-bar would i now use!?

 

when ya buy the bumper make sure it comes with the bumper support, has for the T bar no need to change it out cause your leaving your usdm hood on

 

thank you much! now lets just hope that wherever i end up getting my bumper from i get the bumper support with it ::crossing fingers:: lol good **** SLEEPINGCIV!!
