Default Front bumper sedan/hb

I have a 91 si with a messed up front bumper, I found a replacement bumper from a sedan. I was wondering if the sedan front bumpers lineup/fit on the hatches. Any answers anyone?

The sedan bumper is too long by an inch or so on both sides. I made that mistake am little while ago.

Try a crx bumper. I think you may have to remove your filler piece

Crx bumper cover will not bolt up to Civic fenders correctly.

Crx front won't fit correctly without cutting up the front fenders and making a hybrid Civic/Crx front fender.

It'd be easier to find the correct front bumper cover or go with 88/89 Civic hatch front bumper cover.
Those, IMO, look the best.

I had found a crx bumper that had the round impressions at the lower corners for fog lights or brake vent tubing. I could have sworn it bolted up with no problem. Could this not have been a crx bumper?
Of course this could have been the time in my life when I used tye wraps religiously.

It couldn't have, and looked right.

While on this subject. Are there any bumper options for a CRX to work with the EF Shuttle headlights? I bought some cause they were mint and cheap but they're squarer than CRX and bumper wont line up.

ALL 88-91 Civic sedan/hatch/wagon/Crx headlights are the same.
The only difference is the metal headlight bucket, which differs from 88/89 to 90/91. Regardless, it wouldn't effect how the bumper fits.

Something else is wrong.

Will the front bumper rebar on a sedan fit hatchbacks?

I'm certain 88/89 sedan/hatch share the same front bumper cover and support.
90/91, the covers differ and am unsure about the metal support.
I'm sure it's been covered on here before, search, you'll find your answer.
