Default Are EK 4drs and EK 2drs(hatchback) parts interchangeable?

Hi all,

Recently i found a used JDM EK3 4drs fenders for sale. I need to change mine because i got some fitment issues(previous owner replaced my fenders wit Taiwan made parts).

So I need helps from you all to tell me whether the front parts or other parts such as headlamps, bumper, interior etc. from an ek 4drs no matter what spec will fit to an EK 2drs hatch or not.

My local shop don't really keep alot of 2drs parts due to alot of them are driving 4drs civic.

Thanks.

basically is it the round headlights or the square ones.. as long as the headlights are the same the fenders will be the same.

model years can get screwed between here and japan. but it comes down to old style/new style, round/square respectively.

meaning that any 96-98 prefacelift EK 4drs front part can fit on 96-98 EK 2drs

and

99-00 facelift EK 4drs front part can fit on 99-00 EK 2 drs?

yup.

easy way to check is search collision repair sites for parts. if they use the same part number for both body styles, or don't specify body styles.. you are golden.

any decent retailer should give you a guarantee over the phone.

Indeed, it will all fit as long as it's the same front end style (either 96-98 or 99-00).

I prefer the older style, but I'm biased. It's up to you!
