ok so i have a honda civic hatchback 91 and a couple of days ago i bought some crx panels 1988. i assumed since most models from 88-91 fit each other i thought these panels would fit in my car...but they don't. The problem is the seatbelt on my hatchback is thicker (or it pops out more) than i guess the seatbealt from the crx 88 model...so is it possible to put the crx 88 seatbelt instead of my 91 so my door panels can fit?!

 

88 seat belts are mounted on the piller not the door. So no they will not fit and 88 doors are longer. Just get some 90/91 door panels.

 

If you search around i believe this has been done before.

It does require welding though and im not sure how much id trust it compared to door seatbelts.

 

oh yeah? aw that sucks. Well i've been trying to find some 90/91 door panels that'll fit on my car but i can't find any or their just really expensive. Well o right then thanks!

 

I actually have a pair of 91 Si door panels in good condition.
Let me know if your interested.
