Default need help with front fenders! QUESTION

Would any front fender from the 4th gen era of Civics (1988-1991) ((I think)), but would any of those era fenders fit on my 1989 Honda Civic Hatch DX?

If the front fender comes off of a 4 door Sedan would it still fit?

Problem is we don't have too many 3 doors or even 2 door Civics at our pull yard. But we do have a couple four doors.

Thanks guys

No.

If that's all you have available you can try but it's not exactly the same shape.

So I would have to get it off the same 3 Door Hatchback?

No other civic would work?

Now take that with a grain of salt, I'm not saying you can't MAKE it work but it all goes back to this:

Only a hatchback fender will fit. Not a CRX. Not a sedan. I also do not recommend getting an aftermarket fender. Aftermarket fenders are widely available (JC Whitney etc.) I tried one and the fit was not acceptable. I mean it did bolt up and it looked ok but when looking at the gap between the fender and the door it was clearly not OEM.

Okay, thank you that's the answer I was looking for, straight forward!
