Default Will a CRX rear bumper fit a HB

I want to mold a body kit on to my HB. But none of the bumpers I want to use. Get rid of the filler piece between the taillights and bumper. Their all for a CRX.

Searched cant find any thing good.

Thanks UPS

I don't think it does but it might be possible to custom fit it...

The CRX bumper will fit on a Hatch Back after you drill out a hole for the Key area.

The CRX has the key hole in the center light, the civic has it on the bumper. Drill that hole, and it will fit.

You obviously haven't tried this. The CRX bumper doesn't fit the CRX or vice versa without modding it, and not just the key hole issue either. It looks horrible and will be off around the lights, wheel well corners, etc. Now if you are using an aftermarket kit fiberglass bumper, then you can mod it and make it work much easier.

WOW, thanks for clearing that up! What was honda thinking when they produced CRX's for so many years and never made a front bumper to fit a CRX.

I appreciated the part where you tried to snap me wrong, but looked dumb in the process. Next time you coulda just said "there is more to it than that."

There's a difference between a typo and being wrong.

I plan to swap out to other tail lights and it will be a fiberglass bumper. I will get pics when I get started.
