from what i can remember everyone else saying,

88-89 can switch back and forth,
90-91 can switch back and forth,

basically saying the 91 bumper wont fit right. this also goes with the fenders and lights. now if he did the fenders right, id say just keep it as is, or swap back to a hatch front end.

So you have a hatch with crx front end do u have crx fenders? If you don't have crx fenders then all u need is bumper and bumper grille and for bumper any year from 88-91 fit only diff is the bumper light 88-89 are small in lenght and 90-91 are longer

U gonna need the hatch fenders the bumper and the bumper filler lights and hood can stay. Hatchback fenders and crx fenders are a little different from each other cuz of the different front bumpers I hope I didn't leave anything out

Things you will need:

1. '90-'91 civic bumper
2. Civic bumper filler piece
3. Civic fenders

The CRX hood is a very close fit and should work fine.

how about a pic to see what you need to replace, since you didnt tell us what pieces from the crx are on the hatch.

If you got the bumper, the metal valence trim (it fits between the headlights and the bumper), and the Driver side fender w/ signal lens from a 88-89 Civic hatch, you'd be all set
