okay so i have an 88 crx si and i was wondering will an ef8 sir front bumper fit?

 

No

 

The bumper on the 90-91 style jdm front ends is in fact different. It is about 2" further out forwards, and the headlights are much different in size

 

It will fit... However you would need the rest of the EF8 front end, otherwise it will look tacky. And by tacky I mean terrible.

 

nice to know i was wondering the same thing

 

You should be able to re-use the USDM fenders.

 

what about bumper support?

 

The bumper support is totally different on the japanese EF8. In reality the EF8 bumper support doesn't fit with out the support brackets either. They are two squares on each side that the four bolts on the support go into. You will have to modify the support so the bumper doesn't sag if using the ED brackets.

 

JDM bumpers don't use rebars. They are a thin metal bar that lines the iside of the bumper cover, thats it

 

okay so i need front bumper, bumper bracket, bumper support, head lights, hood and?

 

The bumper should be still attached with the mounting brace. Yeah, you need headlights, hood and in my opinion, the proper T bar

Here is the front end i bought something like 5 years ago, everything i needed for the swap

front cut


and hood



and t bar, notice the spacing around the hood latch

 

where might i get a hacked off front end like that?

 

the t bar's sweet too cuz it has a cut out for the ef8/9 air intake duct which pulls cooler air from in front of the rad instead of behind. kinda cool.

 

so the lights will mount up in the usdm core support right?

 

yes the headlights will bolt up but the hood won't latch without the t-bar as said above

 

okay thank you guy i was just making sure didnt want to order a mess of parts only to find out it wouldnt work

 

are you in joplin, MO? you can get a front clip from hmotors i believe.

 

ya im in joplin mo and ill have to look into it

 

Does this front lip came with the bumper ? Where I can find one like that to attach to mine 89 si hatch ?

 

First that's a jdm crx lip, second even a usdm crx lip will not even come close to fitting an 88-89 civic front bumper. It is a lot more rounded and won't come close to fitting. I have both the 89' civic si lip and 90-91 crx lip new and they are night and day different
