will they fit?

 

if you are refering to the jdm ef crx door panels then yes the will fit but depending on what year and model crx you have will determine how much work is needed.

88 crx - si, dx, hf = no problems
89 crx - hf = no problems
89 crx - si, dx = seat belt in door which will require relocating your seat belts to the pillar. you will need to get the parts from a crx that has the seat belts in the pillar.
90 - 91 crx - si, dx, hf = same as 89 crx si or dx.

 

Really? The 89 CRX Si & DX came with seatbelts on the doors too?

I thought only 88-89, all models the seatbelts were on the a piller, and the all 90-91 models were on the door?

And I think he is referring to "EF" as in hatchback door panels on a CRX door.

In Canada, all seat belts were pillar mounted.....so all 88-91 civic hatches and crx's had interchangable door panels.

 

exactly...will ef civic hatch back panels fit on crx doors? is my question more specifically.

 

No they wont fit as they have different measurements!

 

As long as they have the same style seat belt mounting, it'll fit.

<-88 CRX door panels in an 88 Civic.

 

i dont understand why people are saying no, i put 1988 civic perfect panels into my 1990 crx si after doing a seat belt to the pillar swap. this is your answer dont listen to anyone else, i am driving a crx with civic panels they fit perfectly...

 

Nonsense. They fit fine.

 

he must be thinking of the doors themselves, which don't fit.

 

You're right. Those aren't even close to fitting.

 

It's a common misconception, because of what they did with the hatchbacks.

88 CRX (all models) + 89 HF ONLY had pillar mounted seatbelts and floor mounted buckles (not 100% sure on the 89 floor mounted buckle, 88 had it for sure though). All other 89 models, and certainly 90-91, had door mounted seatbelts.

88-89 Civic hatch (all models) had pillar mounted belts. 88's had floor mounted seatbelt buckles. 90-91 Civic hatch (all models) had door mounted belts.


This relates to another point: 88 CRX Si door panels are the most sought after because they are the only USDM CRX door panels with a pocket in the driver side.

 

yeah, and I have only seen the passenger side pocket in the sir panels, and in the 88/89 hatchbacks.

 

Yup, that's why 89 Si's are the bees' knees--only ED7 with door pockets, and dual pockets at that!

The only thing I would ever trade my 91 Si for is a black or white 89 Si, which is unfortunate, because they are pretty hard to find.

 

i just put some 90 crx door panel into my 90 civic hb...fit perfectly so i will yes you can put civic door panel into crx..but check the years only 90-91 will go into 90-91 yrs... 88-89 only for 88-89

 

This was noted above; only 88-89 HB will interchange with 88 CRX and 89 CRX HF; as the other 89 CRXs have door mounted seat belts. Difference being the seat belt location.

 

Like this...had 34k orig miles on it.
No title, purchased from an estate auction, but was obviously parked for awhile before I got to it and parted it out. Still have the minty front seats though!
