probably if you cut your fenders in half and match them up with the front half of the ef8 fenders. you'd also need the radiator support from the ef8.

why not just get an ef9 front end?

yes, it will fit. but you will have to swap your fenders for the CRX SiR ones.
Since the CRX has that extra molding towards the bottom of the fender, and your Civic doesn't, it will look out of place. Other than that, it's a bolt it deal with some adjustments.
