Default can you convert a 94 into a 97?

I was wondering if the front and back bumper from a 97 accord 4 dr will fit on a 94 accord 4 dr. If so what modifications have to be made if any? Let me know

If I remember correctly, it's the same thing.

Not exactly. The 96-97 has that little black plastic piece going all the way around the bumper except for around the exhaust tip, while the 94-95 only has the black plastic thingy partially around the back. That's the best I can explain it without a picture........and of course, WHY?

EDIT: Yay for pictures.

94-95


96-97


It's hard to see on the 96-97, but the black plastic piece at the bottom goes around the entire bumper.

They are not interchangeable. the trunk opening's are different sizes

If you want to get the 96-97 WW rear lip for a 94-95.. im almost positive it will fit.. But changing the whole rear bumper, No.

i have a 94-95 ww rear lip on my 96-97 rear bumper cuz i think the 94-95 looks better
the front is interchangeable
and to answer the question why... i think the 96-97 bumpers look slightly better cuz its smooth, i think the 94-95 has an indented line that runs along the bumper. also, i like the larger bumper lights on the 96-97 better

i think the lip will fit the car, but you might want to ask in the Appearance/Cosmetic forum to be sure.

This is answer you are looking for. it will not fit, unless you modify it to.
