Yes you can, however you have to use CRX fenders and the bumper. If you use the hatch fenders and the CRX bumper there will be about an inch gap on each side where the filler piece on a hatch initially goes, however the CRX does not have this filler piece.

See pic:

You can weld the CRX lower piece where it would attach to the bumper onto the Civic fender and do it that way, that will work yes. That is actually how alot of people accomplish this.

My old 91 Si was in a wreck and it had civic hatch fenders and front bumper. They fit on but the front bumper has that gap.

Seriously?
They already answered your question in this very thread. Not to mention that the guy who put that pic up hasn't posted to this forum in over a decade.
You're responding to a post made in the 2000s and we're in the 2020s now
