ok heres the deal, you have the lights, and fenders, your hood wont work because the headlights are longer. you can mod your hood at a body shop or get the sir hood that comes off a jdm ef 4 door. now if you get the jdm 4 door hood, you will need the rad-support and filler peice from the jdm foor door. you need the whole clip to make it fit correct, or take it to a body shop and they can make the lights fit with a little work to the front end. what i would do is get the jdm clip made for your car and your nightmares will be over, but the conversion you want to do is not a bolt on. the jdm 4 door fenders are longer so what most people do is cut the fender part where the lights hook up to and weld that to there fender. then you have to cut off your rad-support and weld on the jdm rad-support form the 4 door. ive seen it done, many people done it, bit it looks funny cause it makes there car longer in the front end cause the foor door is longer than the hatch and crx. just go to a body shop and they will make it fit.

i have a 90 foor door with the jdm clip, so i no the process. even i had to cut off my rad-support and put on the jdm rad-support, once you do that everything is bolt on. but if you get the hood you will need the latch that comes from a jdm 4 door.
