Well I got a 4 door EX auto transmission with 112,000 miles. The guy I bought it from ran into the back of a truck and hit the tow hitch. So the hood, and bumper support is messed up. Bumper, and core support are damaged. I'm going to do everything but the paint. (I think) So I'm going to either pull or replace the core support. Replace the hood, bumper, and bumper support.
If I replace the core support will any 98-02 accord work including the coupe, or do I need to stay with the four door?
Does a coupe front bumper directly swap onto the four door? I haven't put much thought into it yet but I saw a picture of the coupe's front bumper and like it. I was thinking I could just buy the bumper for the coupe instead of the sedan since I'm buying one anyways.
Here are some pics...

I looks like all the front ends are the same and parts are interchangeable. How about the front bumper? Is that even something sought after or should I just stay with the stock 4 door?

Oh yeah I was going to ask if the top of the front support looks to be twisted a bit? Kind of looks like it to me, but I don't know as this is my first accord.
i did the coupe conversion on my 4 door, you need a coupe hood and bumper support. its simple, and one thing is you dont NEED the coupe hood, i kept my 4 door hood. its just a little gap in between the bumper and hood. heres a pic. if you look closely the hood and the bumper isnt really fit. =/ lol

#11 and #12 can be had for about $90 new or you can get #10 for about $370

while you don't NEED the coupe hood there will be fitment issues with the sedan hood and the grille
