Default 90 civic vs. 90 crx bumper

I own a 90 civic Si. Would a 90 crx bumper bolt up? I think it would add a good look to the front of my car.

I don't think so... I tried butting a Front bumper from a hatch on my Crx and no dice... Maybe if you got the filler piece but I don't know about the other way around, a crx bumper might fit on a hatch.

No go. Even if it did bolt up, it wouldn't flow.

He asked if it bolts up

You have to do the whole front end conversion if you want a CRX front end

well few parts are a straight bolt on affair between models. do we have the technology? yes. is it alot of work? probably. does it bolt on when you're done? yes! since the hoods are the same, i'd almost bet money that the bumper really does bolt up (assuming you have the bumper support). but whether it matches the fenders is another story.

i never said you could just bolt a crx bumper on, but if you want the look it's not impossible. just like a jdm front end, expect to buy extra parts and bust your knuckles

So the crx and hatchback hoods are the same? What about the fenders? I was planning on getting new fenders, hood, headlights, and a bumper anyway so if I could get all these from a crx itd be cool. And I like the look of the crx bumper without that filler peice

I did some more looking. I guess that i would need to chop the bottom of the fender and weld/bondo the civic fender in to make it work. And of course some trial and error sessions! Sounds like its going to be a royal pain in the ****. But the end result will be worth it.
