how to tell the differents between ef8 / ef9 jdm front end

i went to a store that sold japan parts... they pointed out that they had the ef8 front need, but then some of them had ef9 written on them. i couldnt tell which were ef8's and what were ef9's... all the parts are seperated. bumper, rad support, hood, lights, all at differents spots and all different colors. how to tell whats a ef8 and ef9? and will any of the parts work with another? any parts the same?

Try a search next time and you might actually find the difference.

EF9 = Hatchback

EF8 = CRX

See the difference

Bumpers are different and should be really easy to tell apart. If you scroll up through the pics and take a look at the bumper for the hatch you can see that there is a metal filler that runs along under the headlights. Above the metal filler there is a plastic filler directly between the two headlights. Now look on the CRX - that filler is part of the bumper.
