So I got my first car this past christmas and it's a 1990 Civic Hatchback DX. As you all know the stock bumper isn't all that, so I wanted to put the EF9 bumper on it just for looks. What I was really wondering is if the EF8 bumper from the CRX would fit? Because the thing is I want foglights on my car, and I was wondering how I could put them on?

I'm really new to this so work with me here guys, please and thanks. All help is appreciated!

 

The crx jdm bumper doesn't use a front filler. (Piece between bumper and headlights) instead, the bump is one piece. The shape of the jdm headlights is molded into the top of the bumper. So, with your stock headlights and hood there would be a gap. Also, the sides wouldn't line up with your fenders.


You could put fogs in your stock bumper, or buy the jdm ef9 bumper like you said. The foglights bolt up to a bracket that comes with the fogs.

 

^^^^^ Thanks so much man, I understand what you're telling me now. So would these workout for my car:

BUMPPPPPPP need an answer :/

 

Those are as ugly as sin.

Sure they're going to fit, if they don't then cut them out. That's what everyone does when mounting foglights anyhow.

If it helps, the car in the picture is an 88-89 civic hatchback, and not a wagon.

 

Well he stated it was a wagon and I can't really see the back of it so I wasn't sure.. Any who take a look at this picture:

It's got a ef8 bumper when it's a hatch and that's for the crx? I don't get it?...

 

thats a ef9 bumper FAIL

 

this is a ef8 bumper
this is ef9 bumper see the difference

 

No worries, just thought you'd like to know.

 

yea i see the difference now, i'm new to this stuff I just got my first car now in december for christmas.. well do the ef9 bumpers for hatchbacks come with fogs stock like that? because if they do, i cant seem to find the bumper like that that does... help me out???..

thanks for all the help so far you guys

 

looks like he's trying to sell plain old autozone type fog lights and make a profit. srsly? lol

 

The jdm bumpers don't come wit fog lights it's a oem accessory.

 

Yup, and he nearly had someone.

 

So all the bumpers I see with fogs are custom cutouts? I don't think that's true but hey you learn somethign new everyday? Lol.... Anyone have any tips on good places to find fogs for ef's?

 

If you check the backside of the bumper, there is an outline for cutting those holes. At least there was for my USDM bumper. You usually have to buy the fog lights seperately, I've never seen them included.

 

prelude ones work pretty cool dude

 

gl on your search

 

if u want a good deal on jdm fog lights for a ef your best bet is the marketplace.everywhere else is expensive.

 

Thanks everyone so much for your help.. And about the cutouts being on the inside part of the bumper.. I'll have to look into that..

 

still can't find fog lights with the cables and all like the ones on the crx in the first page.... i look everywhere and can't find them
