ok so im doing body work, eliminating rust, and i kind of need a new bumper, so i was wondering if anyone can tell me the secret to putting a coupe or hatch bumper on a sedan. thanks in advance.

 

okay.. bump

 

i know you gotta cut and weld the fenders for them to fit right.

 

damn got any specifics on this? lol

 

look in the write ups

 

does any one no what is different from a 98 and a 99 bodykit or are they the same and u can put a 99 body kit on a 98

 

lets be more mature and act our age.. jesus

 

You have to swap the fenders and hood from a 2/3 DR also. Then it will work.

Go ask somewhere else where they tolerate that ugly ****.

 

Probably won't mount up, depending on manufacturer. 96-98 gets a different front end than 99-00, you'd probably want a different hood and fenders to make things line up. Most do not fit well anyway, so these steps are optional.

 

this has gotten off topic and turned into a ek thread? GTFO pls thanks bye

 

sorry buddy i am new at this and didn't know how to make my self one but i do now

 

 

What an original catchphrase.
A question was asked, a question was answered. Were you really going to have them start a new thread? So many good threads have resulted from being lightly off-topic. This is a 92-00 Civic board, on a thread about front end fitments.

EDIT: No wonder this guy's banned now. Didn't even last 3 months.

 

I can see how you would think that, but believe it or not, the hood has nothing to do with it. Also, the fenders from a coupe/hatch will not bolt up. They are shorter than the sedan fenders.

He's on the right track.

You need to acquire coupe/hatch fenders and cut off the front half of those fenders. Do the same to your sedan fenders. Now weld the front half of the coupe fenders to the rear half of the sedan fenders and voilą, you now have frankenstein fenders. You will also use coupe/hatch corner lights.

Many people have just simply bolted up the coupe/hatch bumper to the sedan fenders. The bumper is noticeably shorter and the corner lights fit goofy. IMO, keep the sedan bumper, it belongs on your sedan

Hope this helps

 

eek, 96-98 to 99-00 front end swap on the mind. My fault.

 

to make a long story short ek=garb
now help this modern gentlemen put a coupe bumper on his foe doe

 

well said broski. i appreciate your frankness.

 

keep the ek4 strickly ek4 less headaches.

 

w/e rand. be gone.

 

just put it on it fits right on all u need to do is drill a hole in the bumper so u can but a nut and a bolt to match up fender,,becuz thats how i did mine and also i got a 2dr hood

 

Does this mean that the length of the 'Frankenstein' fenders have to be of the exact same length as the sedan fenders or the coupe/hatch fenders so that the coupe/hatch bumper will fit snug as a bug?
Or will both halves welded together be perfect?
(just want it to be perfect )
