Not well. It doesn't line up with the fenders properly.

thats wat I thought considering the side markers are different. I'm gonna go aftermarket I guess its just w/ those neuspeed racing springs, the stock skin is about3-4" off the ground w/o a lip. Don't scrape though stiff as hell. thanks for the tip bud

I believe you have to change the fenders and corner lights to get it to fit properly. I'm most likely not 100% correct, though.

isnt there a diy thread for this? well u can make it fit. ive seen a few sedans around my area that have done it and no they did not buy a whole front end to make it work. the fitment will be a lil off but nothing crazy. in the thread i remember all the guy had to do was make new holes to mount the bumper on the sides. whenever ht is done updating this site u can probably search for it

The fenders and hood are also different. If you look at coupe/hatch fenders vs sedan you will notice that the outer lip of the fenders are considerably wider on the coupe/hatch fenders. the fenders themselves are also a different length so you can't just swap them. Some people (most noteably dogfight from civic-eg) have used body fill to make the sedan front fenders flow properly with the bumper.

different corner lights as well... if you want to do this and make it look good, you are going to have to do this...


hood.

corner lights

fenders

bumper

yadda yadda... different front ends. there most definitely is a write up on this because we were going to do this to my buddy's four door before we realized he might as well just buy a coupe ::
